We all find out where we go Heaven, Hell or Purgatory based on the judgment from Jesus when we die. Mt 25:31-46

Why do you want to wait till you die, only to wake up in the flames 🔥 of hell? Sounds like a pretty rotten deal to me. If you want to play that game, with your immortal soul, knock yourself out. I am comfortable outside of that line of thinking. 👍 I like having assurance of salvation, even if some think we can’t. I have it. If you don’t, that’s on you bro.

We all find out where we go the second we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. At that very moment we pass from death to Life and are assured of our salvation. Those that don’t believe find out their fate at judgement I suppose. There is no mythical third choice of purgatory.

Christ and the Bible teach that we will receive our judgement by Jesus upon our death. The protestant view of this is incorrect and will lead many to perdition as Satan desires.

Your choice to reject the teachings of Jesus and assume that you will go to Heaven before your death.

Even St Paul says in 1st Corinthians 4:4 that he’s doesn’t have absolute assurance that he’s finally going to be saved because in 1st Corinthians 4:4 he says, “I’m not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted.” And then he goes on to say, “It’s the Lord who judges.” He’s leaving that act of judgment to God. He’s not aware of anything against himself, he’s not aware of mortal sin or anything like that, but he’s still not finally saved. He recognizes that. What’s the implication? It’s possible he could goof up. It’s possible he could lose his salvation.

Your comment: “I like having assurance of salvation, even if some think we can’t. I have it.” So is it a foolish belief that Satan has provided?
