I don’t think many people understand salvation, at least, not many younger people.

One group of people seems to think that people will burn in hell forever. If you believe this, then you must believe the Lord is incapable of, or unwilling to, discipline the people he creates into fulfilling that which is required to avoid such a fate.

Another group seems to think that if at some point you accept the Lord as your Savior, you live happily ever after, no matter what you do. If you believe this, I think you are in for a rude awakening.

I believe we are all bound for heaven. It will be a much, much easier ride for those who accept the Lord’s discipline.
Forgive me if im wrong but i think that you may be in favor of spiritual prison befor exercution ?

Is there a distinction according to John 5 and Revelation 20 of those who have already heard THE VOICE of THE SON of GOD now from those who will hear THE VOICE of THE SON of GOD after the end of all these things?
You're not going to make me reread all of John 5 and Revelation 20, are you?

Just keep in mind there are those who have a part in the first resurrection

they are mentioned in both John 5 and Revelation 20 as separate from the rest of the dead who are not raised until after the 1000 year reign

I think if we obey the Lord's commandments, things will fall in place.

We trust in the blood shed at Calvary not in the commandments. We have remission of sin. Sin is removed and remembered no more.

When we obey the Lord's commandments, we stay out of trouble. You might remember the Lord told us to repent (Matt 4:17). I hope you aren't one of those who ignore Christ's teachings.
