<span style="font-size: x-large;">  J</span>esus talks about the fate of self-deceived false converts who merely had come to the edge of saving faith - but they eventually reject or walk away from the truth when tested with the cares; lures of this life. So many people are positive they are saved because they think they are a: good person, have once said a "sinner's prayer", or go to church. Yet the bible clearly states you must: repent; believe the gospel, forsake all sin, and obey God's word. Then our faith will be tested to see if it's genuine or not. (Deut 8:2, Deut 13:3; James 1:12; 1 pet 1:7) even Jesus was tempted by Satan. (matt 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13) faith that fizzles; fails before the finish line is not a saving faith.<br />
<br />
…” Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths” 2 Timothy 4:3<br />
<br />
The lukewarm professing so-called "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Christian">Christians</a>" of Matthew 7:21-23 which are unsaved people who: thought, talked, looked like they were saved but were not. Christians who are lukewarm and lost might have lot of head knowledge like the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharisees" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Pharisees">Pharisees</a> had, and look outwardly godly, but have no true heart change. Peter said the Word of God is not the private interpretation of man, meaning that the Word of God did not originate from man no matter how great an intellect he may be (II Peter 1:20-21). They might be people who appear to have much godly wisdom; have memorized <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="God">God</a>’s word, but they might be breaking God’s commandments in their thoughts, and by their deeds! No matter how godly and amazing you appear to people on the outside, we can’t fool God.<br />

God is setting up his eternal kingdom, and he uses suffering, trials & tests to someday eternally reward true believers at the judgment seat of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Christ">Christ</a> (2 Cor 5:10, 1 Cor 3:10-15, Rom 14:10-12).

Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus warns us, "not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my father which is in heaven." On judgment day, many will say to me ''Lord! Lord! We prophesied (or preached), cast out demons, and performed many wonderful works. And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that do iniquity"<br />
<br />
Now it is true that the Bible teaches that in Adam all die (1 Corinthians 15:22), but it also teaches that men are capable of responding positively to God's calling (Acts 2:38-41; John 6:44; Revelation 17:14; Matthew 20:16). There would be no point in fulfilling the following teachings of Jesus if humans could not respond:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
(Matthew 24:14) And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.<br />
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)<br />
Although God must call, humans can respond, or not....</blockquote>
<br />
Harsh as this may sound, on judgment day, many good people who do good deeds, who are even "religious" will be sentenced to spend eternity in hell. Only God knows the secrets of your heart.<br />
