    I do not believe that it is my Job to convict. I am to be a Witness and a Presenter.

    Wrong! I said in SS discussion. When I have taught I have stayed within their doctrine. But in discussion with other teachers I have expressed my views when prompted.

    Have not been advised against joining. Have been advised to keep the peace at my own church.

    Sorry, but I'm not seeing a difference. Surely joining another church would not be keeping peace with your current church! Or am I missing something?

    Indeed correct. So unfortunately I have to remain a member there.

    Is there a reason your wife would not attend a new church with your?

    From your Opening Post:
    "Elders at the church do understand my family situation and have themselves advised me to keep the peace and not to go to a different church as my wife."

    As I understand your comment, they advised you to stay put.

    I'm guessing here--Because God did not predestinate her to be a Calvinist.

    They are very anti Calvinist there indeed.

    Because she does not agree with Calvinism, among other areas where I agree.

    No offense, but one of the main focuses of a Church is to Make Disciples. While theology is important, "Calvinism" hasn't proven itself to make "better" disciples, as this board is evidence of this. You need to be discipled my friend (as we all do).

    Be a Christian. Stop preaching and provide for your family.

    Out of the abundance of the heart the fingers type. I'm not misunderstanding you. I'm understanding you completely. Take my advice, find your calling. Scorn my advice, disqualification is at the door.
