This is true... but a good Christian is not someone who judges the fate of others, as you have done here.

If someone doesn't know who Jesus or what hell is they will go there.
That is why we MUST preach the Gospel Romans 10:14-15.

That's the second time you remarked on my Avartar does your's mean you Dead and buried?
I tell you to read the words of Christ and you reject them and quote Paul.

Was it not understood that eternal fellowship was implied?
Look, I understand your position that a person must accept the gift offered (and not only accept it, but accept it in the right way according to the standards of your version of Christianity, and accept it in this mortal lifetime). I do not question the fact that you may have had a profound salvific experience (or the reality of that experience). But the more conditions you place on salvation, according to your understanding of scripture, the more you limit and diminish the kenosis of God in the Christ (not that you could really do that, of course).
And think of this: God is not described as being both “just” and “loving.” As it says in the First Letter of John (more than once): “God is love.” No other verses in the Bible can be used to diminish that statement of God’s very essence. Whatever God does for you, whatever God does for me, is done in and from and out of love. (You might read the whole of First Corinthians 13:1-13, the most beautiful paean to love; Paul even says, “And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.&rdquo😉
That is all I really have to say; I just ask you to think on it.

How do you guys derive Paul overiding Christ words on salvation'
and you asserting what you just did makes mockery of Christ's words
