I forgot to mention something very important. The original wording prohibiting coffee and tea was that we should not put "hot drinks" into our body. It was later in our church history that "hot drinks" was defined as tea and coffee.

As for Jeff's comments, I agree that every individual who is a member of a church or searching for a church needs to find answers to questions that they may have. Sometimes the answers come from individuals while other times, answers come through prayers.
