What matters is what God has revealed in His word. They're scriptures in the Bible that plainly state that not all are saved. "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. 14"For the gate is small, and the...

I have heard others say that Christians are "spiritually alive," and non-Christians are "spiritually dead." However, these terms can be misleading unless we understand what they really mean. The Bible says that God is a spirit (John 4:24), and we are told that humans were created in God's image...

Just a question for anyone...Is there anywhere in the Bible where it says our spirit dies?
