I am unsure what you are saying here PH.
Can you re-edit it by any chance?
lol we are in the same boat I wasn’t sure what you were saying either .
what I’m saying maybe this would help
the gospel of the kingdom is the fire . It has exactly two applications. One it fulfills the Old Testament promise that God would reveal himself in Christ and speak his true words. This is one aspect of the fire it can refine a believer who hears and accepts the gospel it can purify our heart
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in:
behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for
he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:”
Malachi 3:1-2 KJV
that is a reference to the refiners fire for a believer of the gospel it will “ burn up the chaff in our heart and cleanse away the lust , hate , unforgiveness , pride , greed ect in us that leads us into sin that’s if we hear and believe the messenger of the covenant Jesus Christ
but then what my point is there’s always a second aspect of everything in scripture particularly the gospel so if one was to reject the refiners fire it then becomes the other aspect of that same fire that could have purifies the persons faith in thier heart if they believed and saved them
The gospel of accepted and believed can do this by refining the soul and heart by faith like a refiners fire it burns away the sin inside like this “ I tell you my one who looks after another to list in thier heart has committed adultery of the heart “
that command if accepted cleanses the root of sin commanding the believer to reject the lust like a refiners fire burns up the lust ( chaff) if accepted ot saves in that manner
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24
but the same fire of rejected
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
John 12:48 KJV
then becomes this application of the same gospel flame in the world
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:”
Matthew 25:41 KJV
the gospel in the world can save a believer and cleanse away thier sin if we hear and believe the lord like a refiners fire through belief we are changed from sinners into Gods children faith by faith as we grow
but the gospel also burns up our ability to continue on in sin in saves us by its operation in us if we believe but if we don’t that fire is going to consume our a everlasting soul forever by the exact same word that’s meant to save of believe or condemn of rejected
I’m sorry I’m not good at making a concise point what I’m saying is there is a spiritual fire in the world ot was kindled here
“And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
we can be saved by Gods word or condemned by it either way it’s through fire that either burns up the internal sin and saves us or we end up in the other aspect of the fire in the end when it’s a raging inescapable blaze
I’m not sure we disagree I just didn’t understand the point you were making
