Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, “He who endures to the end will be saved” (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31–46)

Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

The end of what??? Do you know the context...Do you even know what they are talking about??? I'd say not...

Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

This isn't about enduring to the end of one's life...It's about enduring for a period of time...And that time is the Great Tribulation...It has nothing to do about losing salvation...It's about people saving their lives if they make it thru the tribulation...

And yet the very folks He spoke this to have been DEAD a mighty long time.

Do they STILL have to 'endure'?
