I do understand. You're being totally evasive of my question.
"Are you really saying none of these "MANY" who did all these things in the Name of Jesus were NEVER saved?"
Matthew 7:22 (NKJV)
22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
Hello, Kcnalp
So many people are afraid of this scripture : Matthew 7:22 - Many will say to me in that day ' Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?
Many people are afraid of this scripture. They do not desire to be caught doing anything unworthy, or that they desire to live as good as a life they can so they will be found worthy to come in and to be with God and Jesus Christ.
To me it seems that if people believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and have had a born again experience in life, and are transformed in the image of Christ, by and through faith by God renewing the mind and heart and writing the laws on a persons heart by and through the spirit given which produces fruits of love. Believers have had their sins paid for, and have had their life changed around by the spirit from the old person they once where, into the new identity in Christ Jesus by living in the spirit.
You know there will be many people in this earth who believe in this life in God and Jesus Christ, and something happens in that individuals life that they walk away from God, and Jesus Christ even after having heard the good news and once believed.
There are so many things but one thing is true, those who make the choice to believe in God, and continue to believe even through ups and downs of suffering for the sake of Christ ~ and living by the spirit and dying to our flesh (Galatians 5) makes a huge difference the more closer a person has a relationship with God.
I could be wrong though.
