Sorry, I forgot to ask a question on this earlier. My question was, Was Cornelius saved when the Spirit came upon him or later when he was baptized? |

"The endurance...is physical survival." ____________________ 'The endurance, then, is physical survival. While many will be martyred, a few will make it to the end. Those who endure through the awful events of the tribulation will be alive or delivered by Messiah when he returns to earth. This is not a reference to eternal salvation from sin, but rather the deliverance of survivors at the end of the tribulation as stated in Romans 11:26, where the Deliver will save the nation Israel from its persecutors. Many will not endure to the end in that they will be martyred for their faith as described in Revelation 7:9-17.' ____________________ "You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved." Matthew 10:22 NASB 'It is important to remember that the use of words like “save” and “salvation” must be understood in their context. “Saved” often does not mean saved from sin or saved in the sense of receiving eternal life. It may simply refer so some form of deliverance or survival. 'As one considers Matthew 10:22, it is vital to bear in mind the context which is Messianic and in keeping with the Old Testament calendar of events... 'In view of Matthew 10:23, “before the Son of Man comes,” Christ is looking forward past the church age to the days of the Tribulation, the time of Jacob’s trouble, when the gospel will be carried throughout the entire world before Jesus Christ returns in power and glory to establish His kingdom on the earth (Matthew 24:14). In the similar context using similar words, Matthew 24:8-31 (especially 24:13), the future Great Tribulation and the Second Advent are in view. As there, it would seem clear that the “coming of the Son of man” is eschatological here also. In keeping with their expectations from the Old Testament, such would have been more readily understood by the disciples. 'The endurance, then, is physical survival. While many will be martyred, a few will make it to the end. Those who endure through the awful events of the tribulation will be alive or delivered by Messiah when he returns to earth. This is not a reference to eternal salvation from sin, but rather the deliverance of survivors at the end of the tribulation as stated in Romans 11:26, where the Deliver will save the nation Israel from its persecutors. Many will not endure to the end in that they will be martyred for their faith as described in Revelation 7:9-17.' (http://www.bible.org/) Matt 10:22. "The word 'saved' is used here, not in the sense of the salvation of the soul but of deliverance out of persecution" (p. 1008, New Scofield Reference Bible, 1967, Oxford). |
