[P-Marlowe]

It is all academic. The big question is not whether or not there will be any non-believers in heaven. I think everyone will agree that there will not. The big question is whether or not there will be any believers in hell.

I cannot fathom that anyone who meets the contingency of John 3:16 can possibly end up in hell. If "eternal" life is revokable, then eternal punishment would likewise be revokable. If "Eternal" Punsishment is revokable then there was never any need for the cross.

Eternal means Eternal. Never-ending, irrevocable. What other definitions can there be?

The big question is whether or not there will be any believers in hell.

The very statement is predicated upon the false notion that the natural fallen man has any desire to believe. If you are going to maintain such a position, then you are going to need to provide Biblical scriptures to back you up. Until then, I will maintain that "Salvation is of the Lord."

believers in hell

There will be no believers in hell. All believers will be saved "yet so as by fire."

I cannot fathom that anyone who meets the contingency of John 3:16 can possibly end up in hell. If "eternal" life is revokable, then eternal punishment would likewise be revokable. If "Eternal" Punsishment is revokable then there was never any need for the cross.

The promise to Adam in the garden was an eternal promise. It was based on a COVENANT. Adam was required to NOT EAT of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In the day that he did, he would surely die.

God has had such conditions on an eternal covenant in the past.

The conditions of the New Testament(covenant) are: Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.

Be a believer and you're saved. Be a non-believer and you're lost.
