We then run the risk of being told "I do not know you" when our judgment day comes.

The verse you are referenceing here is being taken out of context. Jesus was not speaking about people who sin, but to people who are trying to work their way to heaven with good works, by being good people Matt. 7:21-23: This is a clear teaching that just being a good person, and doing good works will not get you to heaven. And if you are trying to work your way to heaven with good works instead of trusting that the work of Jesus is what gets us to heaven, you are working iniquities, and Jesus will say "I do not know you"

John 6;28-29 Then said they unto him what must we do to work the work of God, Jesus answered and said This is the work of God that ye believe on him who he has sent.

I realize that. I was just putting words into St. Peter's mouth (isn't he the one at the pearly gates?) ;o)

Please, I would like a response on a question that I think is important.

How many of us, believe God already knows whether or not we will be in his kingdom?

Yes or No is fine, or a comment if you feel like it, but I do need a majority response. Thank You in advance. JH

Please respond!
