[QUOTE="oi_antz, post: 59641816, member: 261524"] Because not everyone makes good decisions. His purpose for allowing temptation is to identify those which are suitable for living in a Christ-like manner. Notice this does not mean those who swallow what they are fed in church because not every church creates Christ-like disciples. It means those who apply Christ's discipline in their life. I also believe that there are people who obey their conscience yet don't recognize that it is Jesus' discipline. This is why Jesus said in Matthew 25 "the nations will be gathered before Him and He will sort His people as a shepherd sorts sheep from goats". Jesus is the shepherd who owns the lambs book of life. No other person on earth has the right to say who is saved and who is not, so anyone who says that [insert stereotype here] won't be saved is actually condemning themselves. It is written in Matthew 12 "36 And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. 37 The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you. And Matthew 7:1 Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. [/QUOTE]
