Myth—Everybody Gets To Go

A satanic church has deceived people who practice the items in the left hand column. They have never actually been saved because their heart

has not found its “way” back to God’s righteousness. You don’t have to live there and you don’t have to be uncertain about your eternal status. I have placed “A Real Salvation Prayer” in Appendix-A for you to study and take to heart. If you state this prayer with the sincerity of your heart and then

back it up with your behavior on earth, you will be saved. Note that this isn’t a simplistic “mouthing” prayer. This prayer forces you to acknowledge the fundamental teachings of the Bible in regards to obedience.

Matthew 25

Now that you understand it is not just Jesus that teaches our earthly

behavior influences our eternal destination, let’s focus on Jesus’ teachings about the kingdom of God. It is our Lord’s teachings on the kingdom that can set every soul that speaks his name free. That is, IF they will take his teachings to heart and act upon them. Let us look closer at Matthew 25.

In verses 1-13, Jesus teaches the following:

1. The kingdom is likened to five wise and five foolish people.

2. The wise people came fully prepared to shine their “light.” 3. The foolish people came unprepared to shine their “light.” 4. The Lord came at night, which challenged their “light.” 5. The foolish people found themselves “locked out.”

6. The Lord responds to the foolish, “I do not know you.” 7. We are admonished to have our “light” ready for the Lord.

I don’t believe for a moment that Jesus arbitrarily used five wise and five foolish virgins. This 5 of 10 is a 50% factor. In this illustration of the

kingdom of Heaven, Jesus makes it clear that 50% of those wanting to get in and who claimed the right to be there, won’t actually get in. As I look at the state of Christianity today in the United States, there is little doubt in my spirit that we have come to the point that Christ has referenced. With 50%

of Christians supporting policies that kill babies, marry Gays, etc., there is little chance of them gaining permanent entry into Heaven. These Christians have no “light” to shine and the analogy Christ used fits them to a tee.
