All Saved?  Not in my Bible! by Rav Sha'ul   Below I am explaining how some "pastors" have misunderstood the doctrine of resurrection with the doctrine of judgment and eternal life.  The Bible teaches: Eternal life is given to those who have faith and believe in Yahusha during this lifetime prior to the first death. Very few humans created have this faith and this faith is given to them by God. All man ever created are resurrected from the first death and reconciled to Yahusha the Messiah. All confess Yahusha as Lord and repent before God at the time of Judgment. Only those who had faith during this lifetime receive Eternal Life.  This is the gift to those who HAVE FAITH. Those who repent after they are resurrected from the first death and come face to face with God.... die the second death clearly described in Revelation.  And described in the Gospels as Yahusha told us that AFTER He raises all men up, He judges them and casts out those who did not know Him during this lifetime. ALL SAVED violates the entire message of the Bible Hardy.  I recommend you find a church that is founded in the fundamental doctrines of Christianity.  If this ALL SAVED is all you hear from men you respect... how are you going to know the truth? *************** Below I will explain some of the scriptures taken out of context to develop this very harmful false doctrine sent to me by a member of my email list: John 6:44 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 12:32 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. My comments: You have taken this verse out of context and mistakenly lumped the resurrection in with judgment.  They are two separate events.  Accepted Christian doctrine does not disagree that ALL ARE RAISED UP from the dead... But Salvation is not referring to the FIRST DEATH where all are raised but the SECOND DEATH by fire where NO ONE RETURNS! You forgot the verses just before it... 36 "you have seen Me, and you DO NOT BELIEVE"... vs. 47 "he who BELIEVES has eternal life".  Believing has nothing to do with being raised from the dead and judged.  You are mistaking "raise him on on the last day" with eternal life Danny.  They are not the same.  All men are raised up, all men then fall and come to repentance then JUDGED.  That is the fundamental teachings of Christianity referred to in Heb 6:1.  Resurrection... THEN Judgment.  But ONLY those who had faith and believed during THIS LIFETIME will not be judged.  That is the entire message of the Bible Danny.  Just because all men are raised and just as you pointed out come to repentance because that is God's will... you have to understand that most men come to repentance AFTER the first death when faced with the living God and humble themselves before the Son of God.  EVERY knee shall bow and confess this truth.  And that point is too late because faith is NOT required at that point.  And just as Yahusha clearly pointed out, they will cry out to Him for mercy and He will say.... DEPART... But ONLY those who confess it through FAITH in this life are gifted with Eternal Life. Salvation is referring to the SECOND DEATH not the first.  "Raising up on the last day" is referring to the FIRST DEATH... The blood of Yahusha SAVES YOU FROM THE SECOND DEATH purchasing you for eternal life. You may ask, if it is God's Will that all men be saved, then how could it possible be that all men are not saved if God is sovereign and His Will... will be done? How can God's Perfect Will not be done?  Easy He is God.  He states His Perfect Will to man, setting a bar of righteousness.  Then He predestined the course of history.  That predestined course is known as His Ordained Will.  He is God.  He has every right to set a standard and then put mankind through a life of failing this standard in order to develop disciplined children which is exactly what He did. God's Perfect Will is the bar of perfection.  He "ordained" that we fall short of it.  God states His Perfect Will in the Bible (namely the LAW) in order to illustrate that we are not righteous (because His Ordained Will is that we all fall short).  You could ask me... How can a righteous God, create evil?  Is 45:7.  Again, evil is part of God's Ordained Will.  The concept is not that difficult.  God communicates His Perfect Will to man to establish His attributes, character, righteousness, justice, etc. Then executes a predestined plan and within that Ordained Plan or "Will" He clearly states that He created damned and saved.  And He even told us why in Romans 9.  You cannot steer clear of this concept. There are mysteries, God's ways are higher.  But we cannot do what Mike is doing and just rewrite the Bible to fit our own ideas and ignore the overwhelming evidence against our ideas: GOD ONLY SAVES HIS "REMNANT" Romans 9:27 "Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED" Romans 11:5 "REMNANT according to GOD'S GRACIOUS CHOICE". The answer Mike would give... is simply not Biblical.  He doesn't want to acknowledge the clear truth of the Word and His humanistic pride that ALL MEN BE SAVED and Mikes desire for God to be a "Good God" in human terms is leading him to deny the truth of the Word.  That "Truth" is that all men are born spiritually dead.  Man is born under sin, destined to DIE.  Man is not born ETERNAL.  Eternal Life is a Gift given only to the Elect at the time they are "Born Again" during this lifetime.  Which clearly according to the Bible only happens to a REMNANT. Every man is resurrected from the "First Death" to face God.  Then the Blood of the Lamb covers the sons of God from the Second Death.  And ONLY those whose Spirit have been revived live forever.... ONLY those.  If you are not Born Again during this lifetime the Bible is clear that you are not eternal and that you DIE the SECOND DEATH. According to Mike there is not such thing as a second death.  No one ever "dies" or ceases to exist permanently.  But that is NOT what the Bible says and I quote Yahusha the Messiah again who disagrees with Mike completely.  So Danny, give your EAR to the Lord not Mike: Revelation 2:11 He that hath an 1ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Next, speaking of the End Time Saint ONLY (no damned take part in the first resurrection):   Rev 20:6   Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of the Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.   Next speaking of JUDGMENT (which doesn't occur according to Mike because we all come to repentance and live) we clearly see that NOT EVERYONE is found in the book of LIFE and they that aren't DIE.   Revelation 20 11   And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12   And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13   And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14   And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15   And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 21 7   He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8   But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.   So the bottom line to all of this Danny, is Mike does not teach the truth.  I would NOT submit myself to him.  The fundamentals of Christianity are CLEAR (Hebrews 6:1) and JUDGMENT is one of them.  The doctrine of Judgment is that all are resurrected to face God.  Every knee will bow and confess Yahusha is Lord... Worthy is the Lamb.  Then those (AND THERE ARE MANY) that are not found in the Lamb's Book of Life all DIE.   PERIOD.  You are a smart guy Danny.  Don't be fooled by such a ridiculous unbiblical teaching.  It is clear the Bible doesn't support this humanistic view of God.   PERFECT WILL vs. ORDAINED WILL..,. that is the key to you coming to understand why God said it is His PERFECT WILL that none should perish, yet Yahusha prophesied that on Judgment Day MANY will say they knew Him and they will not be found in the Lambs Book of Life and He will say "depart from me" and they will burn up in Hell and cease to exist.  BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER BORN AGAIN.   I'm talking basic elementary things here.   Hebrews 6:1 lists everything we are discussing as ELEMENTARY to  Christianity.  I wouldn't submit myself to the authority of any pastor who teaches this doctrine... he is a baby in terms of growth in need of milk according to Paul in Hebrews.  In need of laying his foundation yet again.  He should not be teaching the saints or leading the sheep... He is leading them astray.
