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.
Why must you insert things into what I wrote that I never said? Oh, I know why, I just want to see if you will admit it! You can't answer the Word, as written, so you attack the messenger, and attribute things to him that HE DID NOT SAY! Typical.

And the Lord would do this through a letter? When the Angel is a spiritual being? Obviously it was written for the church's enlightenment, reproval, and correction. It was the Church that the message was written to, through the agency of John the Apostle, to the Pastors of those churches, which the Greek word can also mean, and in this context, would be more accurate.

I'm not jumping through hoops for you. Your request is not from a heart that truly wants to know, but for the purpose of further slander and libel. If you can't understand the context of scriptures, you will fall short in your understanding of them. Salvation is not dependent on certain "correct" scriptures to be read or recited, any more than it is dependent on a certain prayer being uttered as some sort of a mantra or incantation. Salvation is of God, beginning to end.
