1 | Why was the man speechless? | Matt 22:11 | rbt56 | 29544 | ||
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I am consumed with the fear that my 30 years of salvation have been false. This was made worse by studying this page at Grace To You (http://www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/genuinefaith.htm). I am just dumb founded at these feelings and hope and trust that this is either Satan attacking or Our Father "pruning". Thank You again, all of you. Rob |

2 | Why was the man speechless? | Matt 22:11 | rbt56 | 29332 | ||
Joe and Emmaus, I am afraid that this still boils down for some of us who are told to be sure of their salvation, but are still afraid of their works. Will Jesus greet us by saying "I never knew you." Will we end up in heaven only to be cast out by the King himself(and not very lovingly I might add). I have always felt the work of the Spirit in my heart and life since I invited Jesus to be my Lord. My life has changed, often like Chuck Swindoll says, 2 steps forward, one step back...although sometimes vice-versa. Without boring you with the 32 years since that day, I am suddenly empty. And I can testify that this is not an aberation of mid-life. There has to be some other concrete way to know, to help others know. I'm just tired of this "drifting" feeling. Thanks for the dialog. Peace |

3 | Who is the man in this verse? | Matt 22:11 | rbt56 | 29262 | ||
Thank you all for your wonderful inputs. Now I ask for your prayers as I wrestle at this stage in my life, if I am in fact saved ... or what have I been thinking since 1972? | ||||||
4 | Who is the man in this verse? | Matt 22:11 | rbt56 | 29183 | ||
Perhaps I'm being too literal. But the man not wearing wedding clothes makes it to the party(heaven) how? And then is not asked to leave, but is aggressively thrown out. I'm just trying to put a reason behind this story. If this is a version of salvation, in other words this man was saved which is why he made it to heaven, then why was he thrown out? What was Jesus getting at? Why does this have to be so complicated after all these years? |
