This is what I am concerned about. When one takes and teaches unfruitfulness as rewarded with condemnation to hell.
Unfruitful 'believers' are condemned to hell because, ultimately, unfruitfulness
is the sign of unbelief.
...land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. Hebrews 6:8
That's why the Bible exhorts us to make our calling and election sure
by doing something that believers do. If you can't do what believers do then you'll be able to see that you need to get saved. And if you are saved, the exhortation to 'do' will spur you on toward the 'love and good deeds' that believers do and which gives them assurance they belong to the truth and ready to meet Christ when he returns.
So, in regard to true believers.....
...we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation. God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. Hebrews 6:9-12
As you can see, this is not a passage about the continual doing of works to earn salvation, as most in the church instantly interpret 'works' to mean. It's about the continuation of
faith to inherit salvation (vs.12). The faith that justifies and saves a person is the faith that works (Galatians 5:6b).
