The reprobate are not God's children, they are reprobate. As you say, disqualified. Rejected as a result of testing.
The pure, and the defiled, who are rejected. They profess to know God, buthey don't.
This says nothing about the pure becoming defiled and reprobate, rather, it speaks of them separate and distinct.
1 Timothy 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
The preaching of a baptism of the "Holy Ghost" with the evidence of tongues to already saved believers to seek after, the slain in the spirit, the holy laughter movement, the Pensacola Outpouring, the Toronto's Blessings, Ernest Angeley's Healing Crusade, and etc. is the hypocrisy whereby saved believers with the Holy Spirit already in them are seeking to receive spirits after a sign in committing spiritual fornication/adultery against Jesus.
The rudiment which is the lie that they can receive the Holy Spirit "again" in the life of a saved believer is why God permits that strong delusion to occur as that damnation is to be left behind in becoming vessels unto dishonor in His House. It was already at work in Paul's days.
2 Thessalonians 2:1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first....
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The reproof for that lie is below where there is only one tine that believers shall receive the promise of the Holy Spirit and it was at our salvation moment at the calling of the gospel when we had first believed.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Oh . . . what makes you think the marriage supper is in heaven? Who comes from "the east and the west"?
Luke 13:24-30
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Who are the servants here? The gentile church? That didn't exist yet? That was still a hidden truth, a mystery? Or was it the same as all the rest of Jesus' parables, the servants are of Israel?
Verse 40 is addressing believers even though Peter was not sure for why he had asked the question and it was in relations to the topic of being ready when He comes to receive and cut off, as in leave behind saved believers that were found in iniquity and thus were not ready for why they were getting stripes and facing that fire that is coming on the earth that Peter was talking about in 2 Peter 3:3-15
The Lord will appoint his portion with the unbelievers . . . because . . . he is an unbeliever. If he were a believer, he would have done differently.
Much love!
The consequence for not being ready, is to be cut off; you cannot be a part of the vine to be cut off unless you are a believer.
And unbelievers do not get measures of stripes per the knowledge of not being ready. There is no point. The stripes is to make sure those servants never do that again, especially during the millennium reign of Christ when they serve the King of kings on earth after the great tribulation.
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
