Blainer) Good question, but not difficult to answer. Hmmm, on second
thought, maybe not so easy. Well, we can ask of God, who gives to all
men liberally, according to James, and if we get a confirmation of the
Spirit, we know. Otherwise, we just soldier along and exercise faith,
hope and charity, and depend on God who is faithful to reward those who
diligently seek him and serve him in truth to the end. As long as we do
not commit the ultimate sin against the Holy Ghost, which is to shed
INNOCENT BLOOD after having tasted of the powers of heaven and after
having gained a perfect knowledge of the Holy Spirit that Jesus is the
Christ, there is hope. God is faithful to forgive all sins, through
repentence, except the above.

Michael D: Blainer, does this man we are involved in a guessing game as to whether the sealing for eternity really took place? I am wondering how would you or Dave H. know whether you will spend eternity in marital relationship with your wives if that sealing ceremony does not determine it?
