Consider what Jesus has to say about salvation:

Jesus answered, " Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
(John 3:5)
" Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."
(Luke 18:17)
" There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out."
(Luke 13:28)
" And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire."
(Mark 9:47)
And He said to them, " Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."
(Mark 14:15-16)
" But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
(Revelation 21-8)
" Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie."
(Revelation 22:14-15)


It is obvious that Our Lord & Savior, the Author of Salvation, does not support this universal free-ticket to Heaven.

Amen....lifesigns64 !!

"It is obvious that Our Lord & Savior, the Author of Salvation, does not support this universal free-ticket to Heaven"

And God has used you ....lifesigns64 as an instrument to provide throught God's Spirit the truth of his word.
A faithful servant who is sharing and speak His "TRUTH" written to deliver those who will hear what the Spirit of God is saying.....personally and to the world.
If you hear His voice "ANYONE" right now do not harden your heart in the rebellion of unbelief.
Turn and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.....today, for NOW is the day of SALVATION !!

Blessings....

I agree. It all seems pretty plain to me too. Jesus said it: that's good enough for me...

Thank you for quoting that last passage in Revelation. Not the contrast between those who "have the right to the tree of life" and those who are "outside."

UR presents another gospel if it teaches that those who die in their sins will have their sins purified in the lake of fire. There is no other means given to men for purification of their sins than the blood of Christ.

UR doesn't teach that anyones sins are purified by the LOF. The purpose of judgment is to turn a person to Christ.

Right. 100% saved means that 100% have to turn to Christ and follow Him. No free ticket. No automatic entry.

Psalm 22:27-29

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and
All the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship:
All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and
None can keep alive his own soul.

To demonstrate the fruits of sin. To bring to nought the pride of man by which he worships the creation rather than the Creator. To turn a person away from sin and to Christ for savlation from sin.
