Yes, people will be resurrected for judgment, but it does not talk about salvation after death. It is a universalist invention. The Bible talks about necessity of faith 200 times, but you'd rather believe a fabricated belief of forced salvation after death. The 'saved as though fire' is not about the salvation of the wicked, but the testing works of a believer.

heh-heh. You can't stop talking about hell, can you? How do you explain such obsession with hell and eternal torment?

Well, I have made my point here, and it was to say that unbelievers never become universalists, because ur is not the truth, and only the truth can set you free.

God talks in the Bible how believers of Him are refined with fire, meaning he is molding us into His image. The refining stops at the first death.

The Lake of Fire is not for refining, it is to destroy.

FJ you are a piece of work. If you want to be literal about what a unbeliever becomes after believing it's certainly not a Christian or any other label you obviously think we should own. God desires all to believe,it doesn't state he wants them to believe in ET,UR or any thing else, but who the Truth IS,which Jesus Christ said he was.

Let me tell yo this FJ,There is far more yet to be discovered than UR,and one thing I know for certain,all who are rejecting UR will also reject further light that is discovered in Him.

I do not reject the truth, I only reject universal salvation.

The Lake of Fire is not for refining, it is to destroy.
The only thin being destroyed in the lake of fire are unrighteous works and the carnal nature ... And your false religion.

I figured that,because from previous conversations I have had with you,you mostly definitely have never been in error in what you have believed since you made a decision for Jesus. For the record I have been, and have no doubt in some areas I still am,but I trust him to keep me open hearted enough that I recognize the Light he's restoring back to His church.

I can't believe I have put down a great book to be going back and forth with you Finn,I hope someone lurking may have got something from it.

Ps

The book is "A young man's Jesus",by Bruce Barton, it,s only a dollar on kindle,if you're interested Finn.
