It's hard to convert a man when you are kicking him in the butt.



... or get him locked into hell, for that matter.

MERCIFUL CHRIST... no wonder we have so many athiests and agnostics running around these days.

unbelievers will make it into the kingdom of God, long before some of these supposed 'believers' will.

How will that happen? What religion does that belief come from?

Interesting comment from a an old mountain man who claimed all Protestants and Catholics weren't Christians. I guess he was trying to convert those people when he kicked 'em in the butt with that slander.

Well, sometimes they do get excited when they don't believe the whole thing, just the parts they want to believe.

No one can make another believe or not believe - that conviction comes from the Holy Spirit and then it is their own choice to listen to the conviction or not.

or get him locked into hell, for that matter.

No one locks another into hell - it's only happens by their own choice.

unbelievers will make it into the kingdom of God, long before some of these supposed 'believers' will.

Not sure what you mean by 'supposed' believers mean - no riding the fence - one either believes TOTALLY what God says in His Word or they don't. God doesn't take kindly to lukewarm. Why would unbelievers even want to be in the Kingdom of God - they wouldn't be happy if they don't believe. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
