So.....who is Jesus talking about-->MANY (plenteous in number) will come before me saying....LORD, LORD have we not done many wonderful works in your name, HAVE we not cast out devils in your name and prophesied in thy name......?

He rejects them and they are cast from his presence.....everything they did they did in the NAME OF JESUS yet he rejects them....

WHO are they? WHAT group fits their claim?

ALL WHO BOAST OF WORKS IN THE NAME OF JESUS as the MEANS OF SALVATION AND THEIR TICKET INTO THE KINGDOM.

Rev 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Jas 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.


(Gal 3:16)

Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ.

(Heb 12:2)

looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Maybe the boasters .

He rejects them and they are cast from his presence
Yes it is right to reject boasting for reward but are they thrown into the lake of fire at this point ?.....
everything they did they did in the NAME OF JESUS yet he rejects them....
Once again it is right to reject such acts but would you want to throw someone in hell for ever for being boastfull ?

WHO are they? WHAT group fits their claim?.
this sounds like a call for help to someone who is clueless and possably a thrase that made it into the history books.

In the name of jesus you must cast out demons and this boast is diffrent to your boast

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

a. You missed the point
b. It is the lost who claim to know Jesus
c. Yes they will be cast into the lake of fire for attempting another door other than Jesus (their works)
d. A plea in desperation because they know their destiny is sealed
e. Your point has no bearing on the scriptural reference

great example there are many passages in the bible where he tells us to do good works. It is sad that some are distorting his holy world and basically saying we can live and do whatever we want as long as you believe.

These have been warned by him in his holy word

As God’s fellow workers, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain

and many are receiving his grace in vain. Only to have him take away the gift that was given to him because they had no fruit.

(Rom 8)

33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? [It is] God who justifies.

34 Who [is] he who condemns? [It is] Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

(He 12)

2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
