Here is something Interesting i found:
If Elaine Pagels is correct, then the Valentinians believed that those who only attained psychic salvation would ultimately attain pneumatic salvation at the end of the world. After they died, those who had only attained psychic redemption waited with the Demiurge until the end. Then they joined those who had pneumatic redemption for the "wedding feast of all the saved" and they "all become equal and mutually recognize one another" (Excerpts of Theodotus 63:2). Then they entered the Pleroma to be joined to an angel.
If this is correct then the only difference between psychic salvation and pneumatic salvation is a matter of timing. One could attain pneumatic salvation now by becoming a Valentinianor wait until the end to attain it. Despite its lower value than gnosis, pistis was decisive for salvation! - Faith (pistis) and Knowledge (gnosis) - Valentinus and the Valentinian Tradition
Sounds a lot like Universalism, doesn't it?...
Sounds like more of the same magical mumbo jumbo and magicadoola nonsense that has corrupted Christ's message of God's love for us all . . . to me. Christ accomplished the salvation. We have nothing to do with it . . . "pneumatically or psychically." We need sanctification through "love of God and each other" daily and repentance when we don't, period.

The sorrow of God is being revealed from heaven, against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth.
Funny how what comes around goes around... like Satan just altering enough what God said to Adam and Eve. Every Bible version from Biblegateway does not say what you changed it to. 32 different Bible version (including the YLT ) has God's wrath\anger.
32 different versions proves just who think they're being clever in their own sight vs who is accuratly quoting God.

Twin what would be the point in bringing up 32 verses that clearly speak of the Love and grace of God being revealed from heaven, as far as you are concerned, for you believe wrath trumps both of them.
