Question for you Preacher, and this maybe a little off topic; Do you have knowledge of Anabaptists or the Plymouth Brethren at all. The Church that I was involved with in Chiang Mai, Thailand was called, "The Chiang Mai Baptist Group" about 10 to 15 believer's worshiped on Sunday Morning; Pastor Jack is a humble Christian with an Anabaptist theological background and we would occasionally have one or two Plymouth Brethren join our Sunday Worship. Pastor Jack and his Thai wife were founders and minister's of an orphanage in Chiang Mai.
I asked Pastor Jack why he chose the term "Group of" rather than "Church of" and his answer was because we have not been established long enough to use the title Church. And regarding the Plymouth Brethren who would attend our group they do not worship in a Church building as well, am I right. Looking for all of your vast knowledge concerning Christian theology....
A sincere question because my wife and I are making plans to visit family in Thailand God willing within the next few months, maybe by Christmas. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Small world, that is where I drove to from Fallon, NV, where we bought our mini-dachshund. That gave a whole new meaning "miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles". I too got very used to the Jets taking off in Fallon. I lived about two miles from the Top Gun School. I moved to Lincoln, NE after my wife passed away in the fall of 2015. I sure miss hearing those fighters take off.

2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (ESV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP] But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
[SUP]4 [/SUP] For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.
Galatians 1:6-8 (ESV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP] I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
[SUP]7 [/SUP] not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
[SUP]8 [/SUP] But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
Post for E-grateful,
And thank you E-gratefully for protecting our home front in the US Coast Guard, we have a 90ft Coast Guard vessel here in Marina Del Ray, Los Angeles, named "Point Bridge" They had an open to the public tour one day of the "Point Bridge", and I was thrilled to Go. Of the things that I do remember is that all of the engine repairs were made by the crew only. And I recall asking the tour guide why do you have 2 covered barbecue's on the forward deck and he just laughed and said those are 50 caliber machine guns. I said same thing I reckon....
Thanks for your service as well,
