Not all those who are saved will inherit the millennial kingdom. You won’t lose your salvation, but you may lose your reward. Not ruling with a rod of iron, but being ruled by a rod of iron, plain and simple.
But none of them returned to Egypt either, that’s the point. They crossed the Red Sea, the bridge was burnt, those Egyptians they shall see no more.
Where do you find that in Scripture?
Somewhere in 1 Cor. that says our works will be tested through fiery trials to see what sort it is; if it’s burned, then you’ll still be saved, but no reward.
The context of that passage in 1 Cor. Is teachers. But I don't recall anything there about rewards. Regarding weeping and gnashing of teeth, I believe that's a reference to an Old Testent passage that speaks of the wicked gnashing their teeth at the righteous.
So it's not ever believer's job to share the gospel? Last time I checked, it says EVERY MAN'S WORK shall be made manifest, not just the deacons, pastors and bishops. How could you not see this since you know the eternal covenant so well? Spiritual birth is just like physical birth, once you're out, you can't go back in.
Every man can mean different things depending on context. However, I don't see anything that say the one whose works are burned up is denied access to the Kingdom.
I never said that one whose works are burned up is denied access to the Kingdom. On the contrary, he WILL be saved and thus going into the kingdom, and SO is the UNPROFITABLE SERVANT. "Outer darkness" was an idiom of out in the street at night, there was no street lights at ancient time. The kingdom covers the WHOLE EARTH, not just one nation state that covers a small region. If this servant is denied access, then where does he go? The answer is not the Lake of Fire, not yet, but outside of the wedding party. Same goes to the five foolish virgins or the guest that isn't dressed in proper apparel in the two wedding parables. Back at the very beginning there was the Garden of Eden and the outside, and the holy temple also had the inner court and the outer court, so will be the future kingdom. Only the saints who inherit the kingdom will have the access to the inner court and rule with Christ, others don't have that privelege.
In post 421 you said this,
No inheritance, working as hirelings at the best. You may have access, but no ownership. "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?" 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
That doesn't seem to fit with Scripture. The whole point in salvation is the inheritance. The unrighteous don't inherit the Kingdom because they are lost
Salvation is a trinity of its own like the Holy Trinity, there're the justification, the sanctification and the glorification. Justification is just the start, that's what the Lord died for, the full payment for the penalty of sin on the cross; glorification is the end, the final resurrection with incorruptible body; but in between is the sanctification, our spiritual journey down the narrow path of righteousness following the guide of the Spirit. If we fail to follow the Spirit and walk down this path, we won't reach the end, that's why blaspheming against the Holy Spirit is unpardonable. That's like you're sick, you've got a diagnosis and a treatment plan, yet you refuse to comply with the treatment and continue to indulge in the substance and/or behavior that got you sick in the first place, and you'll be held accountable and punished harder than unbelievers. As long as you hold onto the impression that salvation is a one and done deal, a ticket to heaven, a life insurance policy, or worse, a license to sin, you won't get it.
Where do you find that in Scripture? Salvation, as I see it, is salvation from death. The wages of sin is death, as Paul says, but the gift of God is eternal lfe. Salvation is being raised from the dead to die more. That would be a one and done deal. However, I don't believe it's a "ticket to Heaven" since I don't ont find anything in Scripture that says people go to Heaven. I'm just not seeing anything here that indicates people are saved but don't inherit the Kingdom. They very point of being saved is to inherit the land which belongs to Christ. As Paul said, ' if you are Christ's you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise'.
Then why did Paul write about the loss of inheritance in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11? Why did Yeshua warn about holding the five bad churches accountable in the seven letters? Those were NOT talking about the unbelievers, those were addressed to the churches. Even if it was a one and done deal, then the unpardonable sin is a deal breaker.
Because they would be lost.
How does someone hear His voice today?
Which means losing inheritance in the end. That’s a subtle difference between “I never knew you” to the unbelievers and “I don’t know you” to the five foolish virgins.
He doesn't know either group. Thus, indicating that both are lost.
Ultimately both will go down into the Lake of Fire, but their fates are still different, regarding salvation. You see, in Rev. 20, after the 1000 years of the millennial kingdom, Satan will rally an army and wage a war against Christ and the saints. How is it possible that anybody , having literally reigned with Christ and lived in a real utopia, would rebel against the Lord? And their own inheritance? How could co-heir with Christ to that? I believe this is talking about those who are cast into utter darkness, or in your word, those who are lost. You can't imagine salvation with no inheritance, I can't imagine inheritance with rebellion.
