    And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 13:8

    And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. Philippians 4:3

    But the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book. Luke 10:20

    But now, if you will forgive their sin—but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written.” Hebrews 12:23

    You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever. Revelation 3:4-5

    The Bible is pretty clear: you have to earn your unconditional love. But don’t worry becauseit’s not real anyways so nobody’s actually saved.

      Thanks for responding.

      To me it, seems like what Jesus said and urges us to, is downplayed and softened or sidetracked in many doctrines. While He and the apostles are clear and set a high standard where willful sinning is a real problem, modern theories make it a blur.

      While i like what the man in the video says(wrt salvation and sanctification), i can’t really make sense of it in light of what i read in the NT.

      John 1:11-13

      11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

      12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

      13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

      Not sure, but that’s where i am now
