What are your thoughts about the following verse? I ask honestly, not arguementatively. And thanks.
Rev 3:16 'So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.
So sorry about you parents. My grandma lived for another 7 years after my grandpa died and not long before she went she said she had been waiting for those last 7 years to go.
Roman 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
The key here is 'believe in thine heart.' Otherwise it is that simple.
Lukewarm has nothing to do with it, its all about belief (not head knowledge) but heart believing.
There are lots of doctrines and traditions of men trying to change this simple message; the simple truth is stated in the above scripture.
