Condemnation & Perish are words that are equivalent to being cast into The Lake of Fire.
Believers are not condemned unless their actions result in it.
Simply confessing yourself to be a believer is not what determines whether or not one faces condemnation. Doing the will of The Father / obeying Yeshua’s Commandments out of love for Yeshua, loving God & neighbor & brother is what proves us to be a true believer.
We have Aionios Life when we first believe. Having is a result of seeing & receiving. We enter Aionios Life after coming to full obedience = keeping Yeshua’s Commandments = loving God, neighbors & brothers.
Those who overcome inherit Aionios Life at the time of their resurrection or change.
During the time after receiving / having Aionios Life & before entering into Aionios Life there is a time of sowing both to The Spirit & to The Flesh. Over time there is less sowing to The Flesh & more sowing to The Spirit.
With Crucifixion of the Flesh we enter into Aionios Life. This is also called “belonging to Christ”.
Once we overcome we no longer have the possibility of backsliding to the place of having our names blotted out of The Book of Life. This can also be described as no longer having any danger of ever being condemned.
These truths are much different from The Church Age Doctrine / Tradition of Men of “once saved / always saved”.
That doctrine states that all one has to do is confess Christ & they are saved & always will be saved no matter what they do.
This is clearly not true.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:21 – 23 NKJV
Yeshua knows us after we have departed from practicing Lawlessness.
Practicing Lawlessness = Sinning as a matter of habit.
It does not mean sinlessness. I illustrate the difference between practicing & not practicing by pointing to attorneys or doctors who practice law or medicine until they retire. They may still give legal or medical advice after retiring ( as long as they still have their license ), but they are no longer practicing by going to work many days each week for a full or part shift.
One who is no longer practicing Lawlessness has retired & is a retired Sinner. This doesn’t mean that they don’t occasionally sin, but they no longer do so habitually.
This is the standard that is needed in order for Yeshua to know us. Yeshua knows us before we know him.
Once Yeshua knows us, then we can go on towards Overcoming.
These are biblical truths that are much different from that which we were taught in The Church during The Church Age.
There are a lot of Church Age “believers” who will be cast into The Lake of Fire after The Great White Throne Judgment.
This is because their names aren’t written in The Book of Life.
It is also because they weren’t really Yeshua’s Disciples.
‘And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.’ Matthew 28:18 – 20 NKJV Disciples are made not born.
How is a Disciple made? By someone making them into Disciples not of themselves, but of Yeshua.
The Pharisees made Disciples of Moses & themselves.
We are to make Disciples of Yeshua. How is one made into a Disciple of Yeshua?
1) Water Baptism
2) Being taught to do all that Yeshua commanded
The 12 to do. This cannot be done by teaching primarily from Paul as revealed in The Acts & his Letters. This is what most of The Church Age does.
I didn’t know what Yeshua commanded The 12 to do until I began to seriously seek out what Yeshua taught to The 12.
Also, one does not fully become Yeshua’s Disciple by only having revelation of The Gospel of Christ.
Yeshua taught The 12 to proclaim The Gospel of The Kingdom. The 12 also proclaimed The Gospel of The Kingdom. So did Paul.
Paul proclaimed The Gospel of The Kingdom to those who had already seen & received The Gospel of Christ.
Most modern believers have little if any understanding of what Discipleship is & that Discipleship is required rather than optional.
Current Evangelical Church Age tradition of men that is taught as doctrine says that as soon as we receive Yeshua we have a “personal relationship” with him.
According to Yeshua’s own words this is not true. We may think that we know him, but Yeshua says that he doesn’t know us until we stop practicing Lawlessness. We can’t go on to know him until he first knows us.
