Those who repent and believe into Christ are in Christ. Period. Those who are just actors going through the motions are not in Christ, and neither is he in them. Thus, 'I never knew you'.logabe said:Not at all... the key to understanding what Paul just said, is knowing what "in Christ" means. When you believe on the Lord, he comes and resides inside of you, but in order for you to be in Christ, you have to learn his ways, or Jesus will tell you to depart for I have never known you. Why? Because you did it your way... you did what you thought was right in your lifetime, but
you were wrong.
Will God throw you away? No... He will raise you in the 2nd resurrection and correct your way of life. You will lose your reward of the 1st resurrection and be raised with the unbelievers in the 2nd resurrection (Luke 12:46), because you didn't learn how to forgive.
Your doctrine is based on Revelation 20:4. But that verse says nothing about 'doing it your own way' or 'didn't learn how to forgive'. It says those who reign with Christ for 1000 years:
- had been beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God
- had not worshipped the beast, neither his image
- had not received the mark of the beast upon their foreheads, or in their hands
What is the fate of these people?
