John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
 

"Any honest pastor will tell you that he has members in his fellowship whom he cannot be sure are born again. Some will even stand before the assembly at "altar call" time and say, "I don't know if any of you are born again, I only know I am born again." So, if you don't know if the people out there are born again,  why do you call them "members"? The biblical use of the word "members" is reserved ONLY for those who are in Christ. Please burn the trivial membership list and let the Good Shepherd keep in his Divine knowledge the list of the redeemed. It is time to climb down from man appointed mighty place and serve, serve, serve."
