Upfront- not a mason. Just joined this group because of this thread. I have been reading about Masonry for awhile now. Very interested in joining. Have many good friends and relatives who are Masons. Here is my hang up- My denomination rejects it. Now, I don't agree with 100% of everything my denomination, The Assemblies of God, but do agree with about 99.9%. With that being said, I am a deacon/board member. I am pretty positive I can't be on the board serving the church and masonry. I don't blame my church, would never leave the church. I respect the rules that govern them and understand why most are in place. Hence why I haven't petitioned yet. My freinds have stated that they would be more than happy to sign my petition and help raise me up. They find it silly that I won't do it till my term is up and our reelection comes up. I am still praying if I will run next time, further pushing out my petition. I do bid your prayers on that.
With all that being said, are there any other Pentecostal or specifically Assemblies of God Mason's?
I know some of you will think it's crazy to stick to a church, but I believe the church is here for a reason and we are to be obedient to the rules. And when in doubt ask questions. Which I what I am doing here.
Thanks in advance for any response or input.
