Yes, and we know from the Parable of the Ten Virgins that half of those who think they are saved don’t have enough “oil” for the journey. So we need to help those who think they are Christians, but are not, to get with the program.
With your Bible background may I ask you to help us with something regarding the parable of the ten bridesmaids? And yes, the word should be bridesmaids not virgins. Are the ten bridesmaids, not the bride? These in the parable are the ones who are tasked with watching for the Bridegroom’s approach, to alert the Bride. Is there a more accurate way to understand the players in the parable? The Bride is not spoken of directly, just her bridesmaids who job it was to watch for the Bridegroom. The five with oli for their lamps we understand tyo be those with Holy Spirit fuel. Could we see the five who did not bring ‘oil’ as ther ones left behind when the Bride and the faithful leave? ... Could those left behind be the ones who will show up in Heaven after the Tribulation begins? Or are the five with oil the ones who will show up after Tribulation begins? Can you see the conundrum? The Bridegroom will not be coming for five brides ... the parable is about the bridesmaids.
