1 | Judgement of believers | Matt 7:21 | CDBJ | 242210 | ||
Greetings, The question was, will there be any believers at the white throne judgment not unbelievers, which is what you have alluded to. The verses that you emphasized are defiantly unbelievers even if they think they aren’t; this is pointed out by the response that Jesus made. Matthew 7:23 (KJV) 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. The key to previous verse is in the Lord’s response “I never knew you” with emphasis on the word never. You made the statement and I quote, “This is something not many teach on. But just believing in Jesus Christ is not salvation. He has to be Lord and Master of our lives, in very aspect. Many believe few serve in that belief.” Salvation isn’t a cumulative thing that takes place over an extended period of time, it’s instantaneous. The glitch in the, so called, believing of many resides in their understanding of the Greek word translated, “believe”. The English word believe comes from the Koine Greek root word PISTIS. The words believe, in the English, suggest merely giving mental assent to something which will give those that are doing it a very long hot stay for an eternity in the lake of fire! The word PISTIS and or PISTEUO in the Greek conveys the following which is amplified in the Amplified Bible. John 3:16 (AMP) 16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. The very instant that anyone places their undivided trust in the person of Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for them are saved from that moment on for all of eternity. It’s a by GRACE through Faith operation plus nothing. God’s plan of salvation through faith His Son is a perfect plain and anything that man does to try and earn it nullifies God’s perfect plan. The example from Scripture, that you suggested, doesn’t show that there will be believers at the great white throne judgment. The actual answer to the question is deduced from several verses, it’s just putting them in order that answers the question. Have a great day, CDBJ |

2 | Judgement of believers | Matt 7:21 | EdB | 242211 | ||
The point is they think they are believers. Belief in Christ will always produce a change. No change no real salvation. Many people never see/allow that change to be manifested in their lives. They believe that they can live as the did, act as they did and do as they did and that grace has saved them. This deception is very prevalent in the church today. Where there is no expectation nothing will manifest. So while we know them as not being save they consider themselves saved and the false belief/teaching that is wide spread in the Christian community reinforces that false assumption. | ||||||
