Send themselves to hell? Verse 18 says they are condemned already… John 3:18 ESV [18] Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

I"m not referring to the ‘love of God’ towards believers as in the first epistle of John.

I guess I don’t understand that God loves unconditionally ‘except’ those He doesn’t save.

So would you say God doesn't save those whom He loves? (since He loves everyone unconditionally)

God is love, but conditional on those who embrace His Son, otherwise we would have to say God loves those He sends to hell. (True or False?)

Have it your way... (Psa 139:7) Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? (Psa 139:8) If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! (Psa 139:9) If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea...

"Right hand of God" is an anthromorphism. There is no right or left side with God. 'with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning' James 1:17b

Their real problem was that Jesus 'never knew them', He says so in vs. 23... (Mat 7:23) And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ It's not rocket science, they were not born again; they didn't have God's Spirit.

Anyways, I like your signatures I've come across many 'teachings' in the past 50 years, but I compare them to Scripture (that's why I asked my first question).

Where do we find in preaching the Gospel in the Book of Acts the apostles saying to a crowd, “Jesus loves you”?

Do you have any Scriptural backing for this theory of yours? Or are you speaking of justification (1st) and sanctification (2nd)?

Being born again has little to do with faith/works as it has more to do with a new heart, new desires and a new perspective in seiing things. (Jer 31:33) “Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days”—the LORD’s declaration. “I will put my teaching within...

I was referring to those who have actually been born again...they will know it. As far as that passage from Matt 7 goes, those people were not trusting in Christ alone, but rather in their 'good works'...‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your...

Living in the realm of 'maybes' and 'possiblys' is a very tenuous position. Saving faith involves certainty... 2 Timothy 1:12 (KJV) For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that...

As far as 'Those who stop believing in Him'... 1 John 2:19 (KJV) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. Then we have... (Php 1:6)...

If a person doesn't know they have been born again, then most likely they aren't.

Ok, so Jesus died so that those who believe in Him will go to hell? Waaa?

Then along comes a JW and quotes… John 14:28 ESV [28] You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

Lost? Need a map? Need Life?... (Joh 14:6) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
