To have any oil of the Spirit we need to be saved. The women who did not have oil then were not saved.

That is true. The folks who bear much fruit are glorifying God more than folks who will not let their light shine as much and therefore not receive as great a reward.

Then why did Jesus say we need to forgive brothers for their sins against us?

Yes. Not saved. Everyone needs forgiveness every day. Those that pretend they don't have righteousness like filthy rags.

So that is a yes then. You think you keep all the law. Jesus died for sinners, not the righteous. I don't think Peter was driving a fresh nail into Jesus when he sinned. I think God was working on him. Now those that think they are perfect, well what's to work on? Not sure what that is supposed...

He is just that kind of Guy. Faithful is one of His names. He cannot deny Himself, even if some are less than perfect. If any 'in His house' are not saved, they would not have departed from iniquity. If we separate from the people who are not really saved, then he is sanctified and ready for...

God is the judge of fruit. He never mentioned 'discipleship'. He wants us to live in His Spirit and in Him. When we get saved He lives in us and abides with us! So does His Father. They make their home in us. Some bear more fruit than others. If a man is not saved, then God does not abide in...

That makes sense. We look forward to that hope of all ages. I am sure the new believers in the Tribulation here will be very much looking forward to the return of Christ as well.

The main sin is rejecting Jesus (and therefore the Holy Spirit) That is the sin that damns.

No one can go back from being Raptured or saved. Either they are His or not. The way to resist sin is to get saved for starters. Then we abide in the vine. It is not some works trip of being sinless that saves us. Or keeps us saved. The servants that commit evil and don't really think that the...

I do not agree. Either we are saved or not. The folks called servants by the world are really not those whose heart is right (saved) with God. No. They were not the kingdom of heaven. Only 5 were. No they had no faith. No oil. They ran out trying to find some. That they were shut out shows...

So do you claim to be perfect and obey all commandments? Seems like a simple question. So if we admit we are not perfect that means we declare ourselves a god?

What in those chapters do you think contradicts Luke?

You have said nothing so far. Just a pretense.

OK. It should be noted however that His judgments are more to be desired than gold, and are for our good. That does not mean He casts us off. He that comes to Him will He in no wise cast off. Those who are not taken in the air to be with Him in the Rapture do not die. They get left on earth...

Not sure why you are so worried about that. Once He lives inside of us we can't lose Him. Those who believe in Jesus are ready. Those who do not are not ready. When Israel rejected Jesus, He went out and invited others to accept Him. That is not believers. That is people with excuses to not...

Point from link?

Show a verse defining the end of the world? Why pretend you know?

And what do you think you see in these that contradicts Luke?

Right. Who would prefer something other than being up in the air in eternal bodies forever with the ones we love and Jesus!? If anyone thought they may prefer something else, they will soon find out they sure actually didn't! Now if they call out a train on track number 7 and say it is time to...
