Just my opinion. Of course others will have theirs. On that great day of the Lord, who will fare the best and who will get the worst deal. Best #1, Worse #6.
1. Saints of Christ, the elect of God, the chosen ones who have eternal assurance of salvation. Disciples, prophets, those converted on the day of Pentecost [excluding those like Judas Iscariot and Annanias and Sapphira]. These will rule with Christ in the millennial reign. Some will escape judgment. [Paul's Group 1 in 1 Cor 3]
2. Christian Saints who have lived average lives, have not committed grevious sins but have not done great things either. Their faith saves them [Pauls Group 2 in 1 Cor 3]
3 Publicans and sinners who have repented and lived righteously and in keeping with Christ's commandments. .. Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.(Matthew 21:31 KJV)
4 . Others, who do not live by any law, but by the law written in their hearts [Romans 2]
5. Christian Saints who have reverted to a life of sin and have rejected Christ by their grevious sins. They were given everything,
tasted of the heavenly gift,
made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
tasted the good word of God,
powers of the world to come,
they would be in a worse off position than before they accepted Christ. [Hebrews 6, II Peter 2 & Pauls Grp 3 in 1 Cor 3]]
6. False teachers and false prophets. Those are those who for whatever reason or motive, mislead the innocent and gullible. They speak negatively about the commandments of Christ, and promote mouth worship and lip service to God.
*************************************************
Assurance of salvation and guaranteed eternal life is for Group 1. These are those who will meet the Lord in the air. All others will face judgement. Group 5 is in a particularly sticky situation. These are the Judases and the Annanias and Sapphiras of this world, who shame Christ and crucify him over and over by a life of sin.
Just my opinion, so far. Subject to change as more information on the teachings of Christ and the Apostles are digested and understood.
1) Non-abrahamics ie all people who are neither jewish, christian nor muslim. The jewish/christian/muslim god, you see, is busy gathering souls for some reason, and he wants souls that worship, fear and obey him. That's a definition for the perfect slave - or perhaps the perfect resource material. The supernatural inhabitants of heaven are hungry!
2) everyone else
Don't go into the light! It's a trap!

Originally posted by JS357Did I say anything about salvation worthiness? Maybe in group 1, these are the chosen ones who have assurance of eternal salvation. For all I know God will call all groups into his kingdom.

Im going by what the bible says. Notice I quoted Bible passages.
Are you are bible reader? If not maybe you should do like I do when people start talking about creation v evolution.

those in (4) would fare best , those in (6) would fare the worst.
I'm going to have to rethink what exactly you mean by a couple of those categories. Let's see where this thread takes us 🙂

Yet it is their opinions on this that would be most revealing...
Any Christians out there?
Sonship. Kelly Jay, josephw and several others. All live with this delusion of how things will play out.
