I am definitely going have to get his books.
While the judgment in Matthew 25, as in Ezekiel 20, is based on outward works, it is true here as elsewhere in Scripture that works are taken as evidence of salvation. The good works of the “sheep” in befriending the “brethren” (the Jewish people) is an act of kindness which no one but a believer in Christ would perform during the tribulation when Christian as well as Jew is hated by all the world.
I do not believe the 'works' are evidence of salvation...I believe they are a requirement for salvation, along with faith...
No where do these people pass the muster by faith alone...The emphasis is on works...
As per the goats:
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
These guys recognize Jesus as the Lord...There is no mention of Eph. 2:8,9 but everything is 'works'...
The judgment of the Gentiles is an individual judgment, though some premillenarians have seen in it a description of national judgment. This misconception has arisen from the English translation where the Greek word ethne is rendered “nation.”
I am one of those...I do not believe it is a 'misconception'...And it does make for interesting discourse...
But overall, I'm right with ya....
