That's the tragedy and the impetus to teach the truth even on these forums! :)

Yes...but if we have rewarded ourselves for our proper belief...then we already have our reward now!

But if one is open to correction then for that one there is yet hope!

Exactly! That is why we need to die with Christ in order to be raised with Him!

But that logic works both ways...how can we be secure in ourselves from what we ourselves get from the bible?

Are you saying they never attended a church? How did they justify their conduct?

What do you make of the Newell article (in green) above?

A balanced view of the bible sees that God is BOTH good AND severe in His judgments. Have Christians gone beyond the reach of God's severity and can now only enjoy His goodness? Well this position is foolishness. Rom 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by...

Righteousness begins with honesty. How many Christians are taught (or untaught) to think that honesty must be left behind in order to take hold of "eternal truths"?

Why would God accept people who give less than all seeing that people give their all for things that are false. Does God desire LESS consecration than idolators give to their idols? If you think so please explain and give biblical references... The actual indwelling presence produces fruit in...

It takes a certain naivety and even foolishness to be able to trust as a child..believing with all one's heart.

It isn't a bible verse issue but a life issue. If we walk in the Spirit we experience the power of the life to come. But nobody owns the Holy Spirit. God will decide whom will live on and in what capacity they will do so. Anybody can speculate. It is very human to do so. It should not be...

They are three Persons in One unity. The Father is not the Son...but the Son is the image of the Father.
