I would respectfully suggest that it is up to God to determine who falls short of Him. He will treat us as individuals. Perhaps we should all work harder on our personal relationship with Jesus, to avoid sin and glorify God, including you.

And I would respectfully state that your comment has nothing to do with the reality of what I said.

If one rejects the Gospel as given in the scriptures, he will end up at the Great White Throne Judgement and then be damned to the Lake of Fire for eternity, and that is what scripture teaches (Jn.3:36, Rev.20:15)

Are you saved?

If you died at this moment do you know that you would be in heaven?

If you can't say yes to those two simple questions, you are likely not saved and are depending on something other then the Blood of Christ for your salvation.

Some people are just downright deranged, but I’m pretty sure God will forgive them as they are not sane.

“If you can’t say yes to those two simple questions, you are likely not saved and are depending on something other then the Blood of Christ for your salvation.”

Bold words for the man depending on the infallibility of the KJV translators.

Here we come, down to the nitty=gritty. Protestants think they are the judges of who is "saved" and who will "go to heaven." They claim the right to ask Catholics (and any other person with whom they disagree theologically) to ask those questions.

God will judge the protestants who set themselves up as judges of how others love and serve Him. Of that, I am certain. God will NOT ask me if I love Him the way some heretic says I should, according to a sola formula. Protestants should be careful that they don't end up condemned by their own words.

It has been clear on all these threads that this statement of yours is the way most if not all of the protestants think about Catholics. That is fully understood by Catholics here.

Furthermore, as you said above in post 4712, protestants think they are going to get to be the judges of those they've preached to who reject their word. You further state that when Catholics and protestants disagree, only one can be correct, and the wrong one goes to hell.

If I am wrong about your statements, please tell me. I do not want to misunderstand what is being said here.
