Dear brother Harold;
   I joined this forum about New Years, 95/96, since that time I have been
convinced you are a reasonably honest man.
  Why would a believer not be in happy fellowship in a close, or old path
open assembly of believers?
   A comment, Christians, gathered in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
alone, Christian, is a scriptural name, the rest is a discription of an
assembly distinction, close, old path, open, exclusive, are discriptions of
assembly distinctions.
   I think it is a Harold Mackay wrote a booklet on assembly distinctions, I
don't have the booket with me, I think I have his name right. He is too open
a man for me, but his booklet has value.
  I have valued this forum because I have learned the distinctions of other
assemblies.
  I have been around, in, and out of old path assemblies for seventy some
years, I have been around in and out of open assemblies for about twenty
years.
   I am now in happy fellowship  in what is discribed as an old path,close
assembly, despite all our warts and wrinkles, I have never heard it taught
that we are the only assemblies with the Lord in our midst.
   I just learned a new word, and not having much education, I use it
liberaly, such as Neo Brethren, its actualy in the dictionary, Neo,meaning
new,recent.latest, I know there are open assemblies that consider themselves
conservative.
   To cut this short, again, why would a believer not be in happy fellowship
in an old path, close assembly?
   I hope this is profitable
  John Black
