There are many who are saved, but still working towards that. There are many who are saved, but because they are being distracted from the full truth of the Lord, they will find that their saved soul suffers loss of rewards in Heaven, <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%203:11-17;&version=50;" rel="nofollow">1 Corinthians 3:11-17</a>. This is regarding people who have honestly accepted Christ and know it. I'm not trying to make anyone think I embrace the heresy of Universalism. There are some, who claim the Lord's name who really are saved, but are still being tossed around in bad doctrines. In the end, the Lord will weed out those who are not true and not His, even if they fool many saints here on earth, <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%207:21-23;&version=50;" rel="nofollow">Matthew 7:21-23</a>. Of course we contend for the faith and expose sin, <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude%201;&version=50;" rel="nofollow">Jude 1</a>, <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=eph%205:11;&version=50;" rel="nofollow">Ephesians 5:11</a>. We work to help saints stay away from evil doers who claim the Lord's name, <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%205:9-13;&version=50;" rel="nofollow">1 Corinthians 5:9-13</a>. We who have found sound doctrine because the Lord willed that we have it are not as easily tossed by the bad doctrines. He has allowed us to grow more into Him. KyleA, consider that when many of us were being tossed around by false doctrines, we were saved even then, but still babes growing and trying to get to Ephesians 4:14.

There are many who are saved, but still working towards that.

There are many who are saved, but because they are being distracted from the full truth of the Lord, they will find that their saved soul suffers loss of rewards in Heaven, 1 Corinthians 3:11-17.

This is regarding people who have honestly accepted Christ and know it. I’m not trying to make anyone think I embrace the heresy of Universalism.

There are some, who claim the Lord’s name who really are saved, but are still being tossed around in bad doctrines. In the end, the Lord will weed out those who are not true and not His, even if they fool many saints here on earth, Matthew 7:21-23.

Of course we contend for the faith and expose sin, Jude 1, Ephesians 5:11. We work to help saints stay away from evil doers who claim the Lord’s name, 1 Corinthians 5:9-13.

We who have found sound doctrine because the Lord willed that we have it are not as easily tossed by the bad doctrines. He has allowed us to grow more into Him.

That You Tube vid answered a lot of questions I had. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways my friend. The one thing that stood out to me was what he said about thousands being saved in the UK. Out of 300 million in the US I would bet maybe tens of thousands or a 100 thousand at most are truly saved. Although I am not God, and truly don't know, lately the Lord has really opened my eyes to who is saved and who isn't and I must confess this Brother is right on point. The more I grow in the Lord the more I recognize that I am NOT of this world. Also, the people I thought were saved especially when I was just a babe in Christ clearly has shrunk now that my eyes have been opened. Kyle WoW IC, That was meant for me.

My husband often says that God is not on our side, but that we are on His side. I agree with him, but did not fully understand his statement. Thus my lack of understanding had discouraged him from discussing such things with me. Now that I have heard more of an explanation with Scripture to validate, we can go back to discussing politics and religion. Thank you for the post.
