Too bad he didn't know anything about context. This is not a salvation scripture. It is written to the church at Laodicea, not to heathens:
`And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write: These things saith the Amen, the witness--the faithful and true--the chief of the creation of God; I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. So--because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth; because thou sayest--I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and hast not known that thou art the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked, I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform; lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me. He who is overcoming--I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne. He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.' (Rev 3:14-22)Young's Literal Translation
These people are already saved. Jesus says "Whom I love, I chasten," This is a chastening, in this message to the church. God deals with His own differently than He deals with the heathen. One of His Own is treated as a son, but He does not treat the heathen so. Of course you will say, "But Jesus loves everybody". Still doesn't change the fact, the cold hard fact, that this letter was written to a church, not to unsaved people. By extension, it is written to all churches. The condition of every church can be found in the messages to the churches in Revelation. Every church on the face of the earth today falls into one of those categories and descriptions.
Rev 3:20 is written to Christians, not to the unsaved.
So what you are saying is that Jonathan Edwards didn't know Jack about the book of Revelation, huh?
Well I came to the Lord in response to someone quoting Revelation 3:20. If that is true, then would you doubt my Salvation?
I'm sure that dozens came to the Lord in response the Jonathan Edward's sermon that day. Would you doubt their Salvation?
Rev 3:20 is written to Christians, not to the unsaved.
When you posted chapter 3 you emphasized the words "And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write...
As if just because it was written to the assembly at Laodicea, that it didn't apply to anyone else. But look carfully. The letter was written to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans...
So using your hermenutics, it didn't even apply to the Church, but God was chastising the Angel.
Assuming that Rev 3:20 does not apply to anyone but those already saved. Would you mind supplying me with as many verses as you can think of that apply to the unsaved. You Calvinists often say that, for instance, the Book of Romans was written so that it only applies to Christians. But when you come down to it, the letter only applies to those First Century Christians that were in Rome at the time that Paul wrote the letter. That is who the letter is addressed to. It is not addressed to the believers in Jerusalem.
At any rate, just do me a favor. Give me a list of verses that I can quote to unbelievers that are actually addressed to unbelievers.
