Cup, I understand what you are saying, One must accept Jesus to be saved.
No dispute there.
This is simply obeying what Jesus asked us to do.
Love and pray for your enemies.
If I hold hate against my enemy I give them power over me. I give them the fuel to harm me.
By praying for them and Loving them I release them to God Our father.
Im not God, I cannot know who will or will not be saved. That belongs to God. I can only do what I am asked and trust in Jesus.
Failing to forgive is a sin. Failing to love another is a sin also.
How are we to win souls if we hate?
I do not dispute that there are those that reject Jesus and become one kind of enemy.
But do you want to explain to God Our Father when you stand before him how you decided that you were the one that knew who would be saved and who would not?
I can only do what Our Lord Jesus has put on my heart.
I know you must do the same.
All we can do is hope that we all have carried a part of the truth and been obedient to Our Lord Jesus.
God bless, pickles

John also says that the Son of God had witness in himself a record from God, if they do not believe then they make God a liar, "He that hath the Son hath life, he who does not have the Son does not have life." and then John says if a brother/sister in Christ stumbles, if their is transgression not unto death, so not rejection of the Son, but a lapse in pursuit of the Lord, then pray for them. No Apostle ever preached that Christains should pray for antichrists that they be forgive for willful sin, there are to be no enemies in the Kingdom of Christ but outside is destruction and some are not from Him, Jesus says that, God says that, there is the seed of the Devil; "I will put enmity between thy seed, and the seed of the woman", seperation, seperation, 'be a seperate people', the word of God has always been seperation, yet the word of the devil has always been a united world, Jesus divides His sheep from out of the world, He does the saving, He does the soul winning, He does the election, annointing, sanctification, go and teach and diciple on the coming kingdom, the gospel of the kingdom salvation in Christ, we are not called to forgive those that will not have it that He be Lord, we can only pray that the brethren not stumble in this mission, how can someone be forgiven if they are not in the body of Christ? There is no remission of sin outside of Christ.
