So in your mind what happens to people that are saved but somehow don’t have eternal life? If everyone is saved why are some people condemned?? Sorry but you are being absurd.
You need to pray and ask God for understanding and read over the writings of Paul, who says exactly what Im saying. Your problem is that you people cherry pick a couple verses and beat it like a dead horse and swallow the nonsense church doctrines.
Paul explains the whole process of the Christian life in great detail. Please take your time and read it.
Here is the whole story [not the church doctrine]
1. Christians accept Christ and are baptised into Christ
2. They are now SAVED FROM THEIR SINS by death and resurrection of Christ. They are now Born again, Christian saints.
3. Their continued life must now be [under the guidance of the Holy Spirit], good works and righteousness.
4. Those who succeed in living in righteousness, will receive their reward - eternal life in the Kingdom of God, having positions of authority, reigning with Christ during the millennial period.
5. Those who do nothing [neither good nor bad] will still be in the Kingdom of God but without these positions of authority.
6. Those Christian Saints who live in sin and defile themselves will be destroyed. According to Paul they will have no inheritance the Kingdom of God.
The writings of Paul and the Apostles contain all this information in great detail. Its not all about boasting that you are saved and saved by grace, and boasting of your Holy Spirit . Churches do not preach what Paul said. If they did the churches would be empty as well as their bank accounts.
