We need to not deny any of Christ's revelations to man, otherwise, He will say to us "I never knew you".
So, if we agree in Jesus' divine revelation of Himself here - when He said " No one can pluck them out of My hands and My Father who gave them to Me and no one can pluck the out of His hands"

This is an example of a "divine revelation".

What part of "CHRIST divine revelations" do you not understand?
It is Christ's divine revelation that man was made from the dust. and that the earth is a sphere.

If someone believes that man is not made out of dust or that the earth is flat........they are not saved?

If a person knowingly denies any revealed truth of Christ, they are NOT in the father's hands.

A person has to deny what they know to be a divine revelation from Christ in order to not obtain salvation.

Ok..so please answer my question that I asked you above about "divine revelation".

Would the revelation that Christ has us in His hands when we are born again and He said" no one can pluck us out of His hands"..isn't this a great revelation to believe in...He securely holds us for all of eternity because of what He did? We are safe in Him...yes?

Christ tells us that the earth is a sphere. Some choose not to believe that divine revelation.

New American Standard Bible
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

King James Bible
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth
standing out of the water and in the water:

Change "earth" to "land". Solved.

Can a so-called cafeteria Christian even get to heaven?

A so-called cafeteria Christian is only a partial believer since this person picks and chooses belief based on personal preference and not the totality of Christ's divine revelation to man.

Are you on the road to heaven, or, are you a so-called Cafeteria Christian, a partial believer, choosing to deny Christ's divine revelation to man in its totality?
Certainly we won't find heaven if we don't obey the Lord's commandments.

Please answer my question..why is it so hard for you to give a direct answer to a question?..what kind of a game are you playing with us here?

Here is the question again now please just answer straight. Thank you for showing some integrity with us here.

Jesus gave us "divine revelation of truth" when He said that to pluck out your eye if you lust. Have you ever done that?

Have you ever lusted in your life for a woman or anything at all? Do you still have both eyes?

We all know the answer of that question ,.... so in your world of non-specifics you are not in the Father's hands.

We deal with what has been revealed to us. If something has been revealed and we deny it. Is that the same as denying the Holy Spirit? How can you be a christian and deny what has been revealed. Different subject, but this why so many churches are dry and dull because they know that the Holy Spirit has been revealed by the evidence of speaking in tongues. Which is why we have Episcopalians having gay ministers and now the United Methodist are accepting them as well. You can only deny what God has revealed for so long then God will bring judgement. But God is also merciful and the Southern Baptist who have fought tongues are now accepting it. Many of their preachers in their prayer all of sudden started to speak in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. Many have been kicked out and started their own churches and some have stayed in the church and continue.

There is no such thing as a half way Christian and is the reason why we are fighting gay marriage and transgender. These mega churches are saying it's okay God is love and we love everybody and playing ACDC before their service. We need revival and we need it quick, but revival only comes from prayer and repentance.
