“I don’t think that is true... I don’t think anyone who goes to Judgement Day will be surprised. God has written it right into peoples’ souls to know with confidence when they are blood bought believers. I will agree that there are plenty who call themselves Christians who will go into judgement... but they knew deep down in their hearts that they never really had accepted Christ in the first place.”
No. I have someone in my circle, not blood-related but close enough, that thinks they are saved...and are quite sure they are....but they are following and believing false prophets and false teachers like Ken Copeland, Kat Kerr, Julie Green, etc. I really don’t think falling for lies from these liars in God’s name is going to get them to Heaven. I could be wrong, but don’t think so.

I’ll certainly concede that there will be some who will follow false prophets... but I also suspect that if they were absolutely open and honest, they would have doubts about where they stand. You and I of course will never know the answer to that... “only God knows the heart”. However, Romans 1:20 says this... “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Am I taking the verse out of context? I don’t think so... and as a result, I’m going to interpret that phrase ‘without excuse’ as meaning that what they get told on Judgement Day won’t be a surprise.
