????? wow, I just don't understand how you got "Universalism" out of the things Grace777 has posted.
I'm aware of the wonderful message of grace posted each day since I come here daily and read as many of the posts I can. Grace777 has put up Scripture and interpretation that I am in 100% agreement with and very much aware of. It is not by any stretch of the imagination akin to Universalism.
(We need that picture of the guy with his hand on his head again.) .
I read the things Grace777 and JGIG post and I am so happy to be fellow-shipping with believers of like mindedness. And not only them but all those here who are sharing about what Jesus has done and how we are set free to walk in the new covenant of grace. Their writing is uplifting and encouraging. We are no longer sinners but sons and saints. Our identity is in Christ.
The law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Popeye, I hope you reread these many posts and see that there is in no way a message of Universalism. I still don't see how you could have come to that conclusion. Blessings Popeye. (my divorce was 20yrs after I was saved so i am familiar with what you are saying)

I agree with every single verse they post,and i would consider myself in fellowship with them,and they my fellow believers.
I come close to hyper grace myself. However,i noticed he (grace 777) has taken a more serious look at the prodigal.
there is no serious ,sold out believer ,upon arriving in heaven,going through judgement. But only because they walk close enough to Jesus that when then do sin they repent.
What I am seeing here is "automatic grace",no accountability.
The 1 cor church was a carnal church. We see the actions that needed to be deployed.
When Paul said "i pick up my cross daily",the result was a closer walk,and intimate fellowship with Jesus,but the dynamic that brought that benefit was,to deflect "the sin that so easily besets us"
It's like this;
The 'holiness police" are the worst nightmare of fellowship you will ever encounter. It is putrid. But not Holiness itself,that is a good thing. What happens is,they rejoice and celebrate,and glory in their "holy life",but see all kinds of things wrong with your walk.
The correct pattern is "getting closer and intimate with Jesus,and as a benefit of his spotlight and essence in my life,whatever I am doing wrong is burned out by his presence and light invading my dark recesses.
Oswald Chambers said "to preach holiness,is to preach the saints into despair"
I believe I saw this in the "holiness police" because their "holiness" is mechanical. They are the modern day pharisees
Serious,sold out believers,are judged in this life,not the next. In the next life we recieve rewards. Those with no crowns did nothing for the kingdom.
Those carnal ones,I just do not know how they are dealt with,but what indications I see are not very nice. I just do not know.
