Originally posted by checkbaiterLets take your 3 passages and see what they really say. 1 Cor 3 identifies 3 classes of Christian Saints or workers in the vineyard of Christ.
..1 Cor 3:14-15
14 If anyone's work whi ol, 14 because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
NIV
1. Good workers who will be rewarded [v14]
2. Average workers who produce some good and some bad [v15]
3. Bad workers who produce nothing but instead defile themselves [v 17]
The last group will be destroyed according to Paul in verse 17.
This corresponds exactly to what Jesus said. in the parable of the talents. Three types
1. Good
2 Average
3 No Good
Group 3 is fit for nothing but to be burned.
Eternal guarantee is only for those Christians who please God with their good works. Not all born again will enter the Kingdom of God. Even those with Holy Spirit Gifts ...
IN FACT ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH THESE GIFTS ... THESE ARE IN MORE HOT WATER,
THe bible says that it is better if they did not know the way of righteousness in the first place, than to know it and continue with sin.
I see you like to boast of your gifts. This is not necessarly a good thing if you are not living a righteous life and following Christ commandments .. be careful.
