Remember the warnings of Christ, that many will claim to know Him but He didn't know them and study the meaning of the parable of the sower.
The parable of the sower?
Only one did not believe.
19
When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it,
the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart.
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
It says that the others are saved. But only one of the seeds made right choices after being saved.
The others who believed (and were saved) displeased the Lord because they quit seeking to mature in Christ.
These ones will be denied rewards when it comes time to distribute eternal rewards. (1 Cor 3:11-15)
23
But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it.
This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
The last seed like the others accepts the Word and believes.....
But he does not stop there.
He keeps expanding in his knowledge of the more and more of what is to be believed.
He produces in his soul (soil) a lush crop of wisdom and understanding and becomes self sustaining as he lives off its harvest in Christ.
Some seeds just want to concentrate on a single plant.
And, will badger everyone who does not see it his way.
But..
We can not eat tulips to sustain life...
