Your peculiar inability to field questions about the ideology you propagate - like, for example, explaining what "the disciplinary consequences" for a Christian divorcee are - is a real problem, and not an imaginary problem at all.
I have written on the rewards and disciplines aside from the GIFT of eternal life many many times.
I have debated Rajk999 on this.
I have debated RJHinds on this.
I wrote a thread on Five Kinds of Forgiveness.
Do you understand that repeating explanations to the same objector can get ... let's say ... old? You don't want to know. Why are you examining as if you want to??? you've followed my posts like a hawk. You know I have spoken again and again about the reward or punishment of discipline to the Christian who has the gift of eternal life.
Rajk999 already did your work for you insisting that I was pushing cheap "mouth" worship. How many posts I defended the Gospel on this I cannot say - hundreds of posts have been written on it probably by me.
Why would Paul say that knowing the fear of the Lord he and his co-workers persuaded the Christians to cooperate with Christ's salvation?
But you don't like any "fear" of the Lord. That's a no-no for you atheists.
Second Corinthians 5:11 is just one of many verses showing reason for the eternally forgiven man to consider his ways.
Berean Literal Bible
Therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men. And we have been made manifest to God, and I hope to have been made manifest in your consciences also.
New American Standard Bible
Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.
The men he is talking about persuading are those for whom the question of eternal redemption has already been solved. They are Christians.

But you don't want to know. Why re-ask as if you want to know, want more clarification, more explanation.
You don't want to know.
You want to embrace that God does not exist.
