This thread has proven the verity of that which is written in the proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel which saith, only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. Let us first make sure that we have put on Christ by being buried with him in baptism, wherein also we are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. Arguing about "losing" something you do not have will do you no good. If you are not in Christ, then you shall have your part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Because the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; when he shall come to be glorified in his saints.
And how do we get baptized into Christ? Thus: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
