Yes, meaning you have the cart in front of the horse. Forgiveness is first and includes everyone ever born, and salvation comes after and only includes those who are first forgiven and only given to those to whom it is granted.

You are missing the point. The context of the story and interaction Jesus gave, is within this world, not that of heavenly salvation. The context of salvation is heavenly, not of this world. Which is to say, you are not "rightly dividing the world of truth" according to proper context.

One thing at a time...since you are so steeped into your own interpretation: Forgiveness being rescinded simply means it is as if they never were forgiven, thus salvation will not yet be granted. But that is not salvation being rescinded, only forgiveness. Which also just means that torment...

They certainly tried to scam me, but I rejected it.

If the issue and topic of Matthew 18:23-35 is properly identified as referring to repentance (and not specifically about salvation), what is to be done, is to repent...or as He indicated, he would be turned over to the torturers. Which incidentally, is God's follow-up measure for continued or...

You are not listening, but are blinded by your own pet peeve theology. Indeed, all are forgiven, and all are raised up eternally--but "Some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2). Forgiveness of sins, is not salvation.

All who sin pay for their sin. The wages of sin is death. All die. Which says nothing of eternal life. There are two issues and you have confused them by putting them together. By one act Christ has paid for all sin, but all do not receive eternally life. Sin is one issue, salvation is another...

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life" (John 6:47).

Matthew 18 is not about the possibility of salvation being revoked. It is about repentance...which comes before salvation. Thus, to purpose a question that insists that salvation can be revoked before it is even attained, you mislead many who are yet babes not fully versed even in their own...

Meanwhile...the greater point of this thread, in addition to the gift of prophecy not being given to every person born of God, was to address the fact that the subject of prophecy is often misunderstood and misused. The word "Prophet" in the original language, simply means: "spokesman, or...

Hmmm, missed this one. No, it's your quoting me that cause me to wonder if you were referring to me. I know a long time has past since then, so I will just drop it.

With your question, it is you who make those who answer out to be liars. Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea (Mark 9:42).

There is ignorance, and then there is innocent ignorance. God decides, not religious groups.

This issue is clarified by Paul in Romans 1:16, saying "first the Jew, and then the gentile." In which there is a distinctive difference. The reason that Jews of that time were told to be baptized with water, was because they came late and were just witnessing what they would otherwise miss out...

Okay, now you're mocking Christ. Matthew 22:37

There is no argument within one Spirit. God is One. But, hey, go ahead, argue away.

Why do you persist? Indeed, you only "think", because you do not know. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I was quoting the apostle Paul.

Have you not read that the words in their written form are foolishness to the natural man and therefore must be--not literarily, but spiritually discerned? Meanwhile, you have made the written form a law unto itself, which it is not. But is spiritually confused by God to confound the wicked...

Just seeing this for the first time... Apparently, most men in ministry don't have a clear understanding of God's intentional creation of mankind as male and female, or they would teach it, and we wouldn't have this problem. Yes, it's a problem. It's a problem because the "image" of man as...
