The Scriptures reveal who God will be spending eternity with

Really EmSw? There is but one who knows the heart of a man, and can judge their salvation. And that is God.

That is why it is above Psalm's paygrade to make judgements on a person's salvation.

And what do you judge Psalm's pay grade to be?

He sure is not God. And that is all that matters. If only God can judge, and you (not you personally) are not God...then you are not in the position to make that judgement.

Jeremiah 17.10: "I the LORD search the heart".

John 3:16 is my favorite verse from the Bible! Did you think about it lately?

In light of the whole NT, do you understand what John 3:16 really means?

In light of the whole NT, do you understand what John 3:16 really means?

In light of post #12, where these verses were quoted:

John 3:15,16 - so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. 16“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

John 5:24 - “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

John 6:40 - “For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”

John 20:31 - but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

So, those who have believed in Jesus Christ for salvation HAVE eternal life.

And the best part is this:
Rom 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Eternal life is a free gift of God!!

More good news:
Rom 11:29 - for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

…do you understand what they are saying? They answer the OP as to who God will be spending eternity with.

They (posted verses) answer the OP as to who God will be spending eternity with.

God definitely will not be spending eternity with apostates ...
who are those who were Christian believers at one time, but chose to depart.

(Departing is a tactful word for it ...
since Jesus and Paul deal with believers tactfully, maybe I should also.
However, since some are not NT "believers", perhaps I'm off the hook.)

If you wish, I can provide Scriptural clarification on who the apostates are.
Not gone fishin'.

God definitely will not be spending eternity with apostates …

What verse gives one that impression? The Bible is clear about what God does for all who have believed, WHEN they believe. They are sealed, they are guaranteed and promised FOR the day of redemption.

I don't know how it could be made more clear than that.

Please explain how God wouldn't be breaking His own promise and guarantee by revoking salvation from one who apostatizes.

btw, I notice that you completely ignored all the verses about what God does for each believer.

So can I. They have fallen from the faith. The second soil in the parable were apostates.
