Interesting Dan, I guess we go back to square one with a person’s individual heart and what they were putting their trust in and only God knows the heart. I recall this old man in our NJ church who would faithfully give out free “Our Daily Bread” devotional booklets to each family. He had a single missionary daughter who served in Bangladesh and yet he wore a masonic ring. Then I had a Christian next door neighbor and she said her mother was involved in the Order of the Eastern Star in Michigan and she wasn’t expecting to see her in heaven. Like you said … a lot of them do join the clubs so they get the perks of a good job, even if they are not qualified. My grandfather said to a friend how did your son get that high paying job without a college degree … and the guy smiled and flashed the masonic ring. My grandfather said don’t give me that BS … and the guy laughed and said really … you join the club then you get promoted. Some will even put stickers on the back of their vehicle so when a cop stops them … they will never get a ticket. My Dad was a Pharmacist, had a store, and was a Mason. As I recall it was strictly social and had to do with business connections. Other than that he didn’t take it seriously. I sure hope to see him in Heaven soon. Also, no way do I support that organization. I have some strong opinions about the Freemasons but I'll just say that there won't be any secret societies in heaven and for that I am grateful. The only secrets will be a secret name between you and God. That's really cool! Revelation 2:17 New King James Version 17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’ That verse is where my moniker came from, Arthur. But I suspect you already surmised that. :yes: Yeah. It has a really beautiful meaning behind it too. At that time, if you were acquitted in a court of law, you were given a white stone saying you were not guilty. So, God is telling believers that they are not guilty. Praise Him for His mercy and grace. The historical backdrop of Pergamum gives us some insight into the symbolism of the white stone: First, the white stone imagery comes from trial procedures in Pergamum. Osborne writes, “In ancient trials jurors would cast a white or black stone into an urn to vote for acquittal or guilt (cf. Acts 26:10); while no name was written on the stones, the trial setting could make sense in the Pergamene situation.”[1] Jesus could be communicating their acquittal from guilt. Walvoord writes, “In courts of law being given a white stone is thought to represent acquittal in contrast to a black stone which would indicate condemnation.”[2] Second, the white stone imagery comes from the Pergamum games. Osborne writes, “It was common for members of a guild or victors at the games to use stones as a ticket for admission to feasts, and also for free food or entrance to the games.”[3] Thus Jesus could be explaining that because of the white stone, these believers get free access into the feast of God: heaven.
