Amen to this article.

I can't scroll through this article.

Yeah it seems the website is weird as well ☹

The article seemed to me to raise 3 different points, but concluded with only a brief comment regarding one of those points, which wasn’t connected to the title of the article. First, it spoke of “Hills on which to die,” and made reference to central Christian doctrines, and named 8 such central issues. This made sense to me. Christianity is made up of central issues and secondary issues. The central issues are non-negotiable. The secondary issues are not secondary because they are not important, but, rather, they are not issues that affect one’s salvation. Over secondary issues, Christians may disagree, but should not divide. And this part of the article seemed to be consistent with the title of the article. Second, the article spoke of one of the great drawbacks of denominationalism, namely, that within the overall Church as a whole, different denominations are sending out a message to the unbelieving world that the Church is disunited in what she believes. And, it’s true that, as the article states, “… every church believes that they have pure doctrine.” But, obviously, they can’t all be right in cases where they arrive at different scriptural and doctrinal interpretations. So how is an unbeliever to know what is really meant by the word “church,” and how is he or she to know which one to go to? That’s at the very heart of the harm done by denominationalism, because, as the article asks, “Who would want to attend a church that didn’t hold to the truth?” Answer: Nobody. And so, we have the very great problem today of church non-attendance. Unfortunately, the difficulty is not solved by establishing “non-denominational” churches because (1) even those do not agree on a wide variety of beliefs and practices, and (2) non-denominational churches end up becoming a denomination themselves. At this point in the article, I thought I was next going to read about the author’s solution to the problem. But that didn’t happen. Third, the article spoke of an objection raised by a radio talk show host over the author’s accepting an invitation to speak on a program that apparently held to beliefs that were scripturally problematic. The author used that example to decry the negative effects created by “heresy hunters,” people who simply stir up controversy for the sake of creating dissension and discord among the Church, which is clearly condemned in scripture, such as 1 Timothy 6:4. The article concludes with the author expressing his desire for Christians to “focus their zealous sights” on evangelism, reaching the lost. That’s very good. But what does it have to do with the title of the article? So that when I finished reading the article, I wondered, “What was the main thing the author was talking about?”

I don't need to watch a video for me to believe God...:-)...all the proof I need of God's existence, is in the mirror when I stand before it and see one of His creations.

This is Wonderful and so grateful and pray it will open the eyes of people who are lost and dont know God our Creator and Heavenly Father, Jesus , our dear Saviour and wonderful Holy Spirit! May God bless folks of Living Waters Outreach !!!😘💖💖🌷💖💖💖💖

Amazing - praise God!

Excellent...

Love it or hate it your God is real, but idc what you say he isn't the only one.

At the end of the love chapter (1 Corinthians 13), Paul says that we know nothing. We are "Looking through a glass darkly", and much will be revealed after our earthly death. I will not (as Jesus commands) stand in judgement on any life here on Earth - that's for Jesus to decide. But, as Paul says, we don't know the full story.- many we think are saved will turn out not to be, and many we think are unsaved will be in Paradise with us.

Personally God only knows whom is saved or not. I have traveled across the US and I have seen Individual that look the part perfectly but something seemed off. I have been with the totally broken and had divine appointments. I have learned a long time ago that you can go only so far than it personal between God and that Individual.

There is an old saying - "The truth will set you free", however that only applies to one seeking the truth. The best thing anyone can do at another's funeral, is to SPEAK THE TRUTH, whilst being kind and nonjudgmental at the same time. The Bible is very clear that a great multitude are not going to Heaven. I have heard so many pastors speaking of how the "DEARLY DEPARTED" will dwell with God, knowing the individual was not saved. They do so thinking they are comforting the loved ones. Their not, they are professing a false doctrine and defacing God's word.

I would pray for wisdom to speak the right words.....

I generally say that your loved one would tell you, “Serve the Lord Jesus Christ...Make Him your Savior today...” if anyone balks at that, they are really in bad shape!

I think the best thing to do is give a clear salvation message, stating that the Lord knows the heart of the departed. All who put their trust in him will be saved and in heaven.

"God loves them more than you do and he knows their heart, rest assured He is in control"

No one knows except for the Lord if that person put their faith in Him the last second of their life. Love hopes all things!♡

Or how does an atheist expresses his condolences to a friend who has lost a loved one by accident or after a hard battle with cancer? One can be insensitive by not expressing the right words in times of grief. The believer can tell the bereaved that one day, God will wipe away our tears because we believe there is ultimate hope we will see them again. Because God has infinite wisdom for all that He loved, and God is fair and just.

I have often wondered what to do. I don't want to hurt them unnecessarily, but it seems like a good time to plant seeds in those who are left. Thank you for this post.

This person may have called out to the lord in the last minutes of life. We cannot tell people that. Like the thief on the cross..Jesus said today you will be with me in paradise. I don’t recommend this but call on the name of the lord today. Now is the acceptable time as now is the day of salvation.

I always answer that question with the fact that we cannot know for sure until the Day of the Lord. Unless the person died cursing God, we don't know for sure what transpired within a dieing person's heart in the last days, hours, minutes of their life. They could have remembered hearing the Gospel and repentingly call on Jesus in those last moments.

You don’t know if someone was saved or unsaved they could have had a death bed confession. Jesus honors those confessions just as he honors those confessions who were on the cross

Amen you Preach the Word of God

Be there as a friend. Don't bring up the gospel unless they ask you first. Don't want to smother an ember.

Preach the gospel no matter what...

It’s a hard issue to deal with. People want assurance

Jesus told us to go out and preach the word. The rest is up to him.

Agreed

Who would do that?

Thinking that anybody who didn't know Jesus ends up in hell is foolish.

My step father died in march this year. I shared the gospel with him at times and he would let me share it with him, altho i feel like i didn't share enough and pray enough for his soul. I hope the fragments i did share were enough to have him cry out to Christ during his final moments. He died in his bed from asphyxiation while away for work . I do hope he was saved at the last minute, but i cannot know =[
