Does it say who is in heaven and hell?

Peace

It says all that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ when they leave this earthly tent are clothed with their heavenly Home..

It also says that He will reject those that have cast out demons and did other things in His name

I don't know. I've never observed it.(Reformation Day)
I'm not real big on any day bein' more special than others. They're all pretty cool to me.
I've only heard about there bein' a Reformation Day. I haven't looked into what it's about.

The first Saints were those that were martyred by the Roman persecutions.

The first saints mentioned in the Bible are in the Old Testament. You must've picked up a different definition of saint than scripture, bro.

Because He didn't know them. It is not what you do but who you know...

 

[StTherese]

Because He didn't know them. It is not what you do but who you know...

Why do you think He didn't know them, since we know that God is All-knowing??? If they were doing things in His Name, they obviously knew who He was, right???

 

[Rick Otto]

They knew who they thought He was.
When an omniscient being says "I never knew you", it has to mean in a relationship sense, not just an intellectualy cognizant sense.

Ever heard of Identity theft? Just because they Took His name and used it with Authority does not mean that Jesus knew them. We also see this when the Disciples came and told Jesus what someone was doing..

he said forbid them not...

Mar 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Mar 9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
Mar 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.

Thats right.. But He did not say He knew them..

You have to know the saviour in order to be called by His name. This is called the rebirth process and Him by His Spirit coming to dwell inside of His people.

I stand corrected and the CC does celebrate them as saints.

Matthew 7:21-23

Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers.

Thats right.. But He did not say He knew them..

That's right He did not them. They thought that they were saved but they were not. They did not find out till after He told them.

And they prophesied and casted out demons in His name.

LR friend,

It appears your mixing up IAA response to Mark 9, with what has been posted on Matt 7...2 seperate happenings 2 different context. Matt 7 making a point against meritorious salvation (Guys doing great works to NO avail.) because they knew of but didn't necessarily have faith in Christ and didn't ACTUALLY cast out in HIS name... Mark 9 Jesus suggested this person was a believer calling on HIS name to cast out!
In Him,
Simon

Ever heard of identity theft.. Lets explain it like this.. Say you are a very rich man and you have authorized some men to use your bank card to do good.. Someone comes along that does not know you takes your bank card and starts doing what they want with it to make themselves look important..At the end of this ministry you gather up those whom you have known and to a meeting and low and behold here are some strange people that you have never met using your card.. You say to them who are you? They Speak well we have been using your card and doing this and doing that.. You say I never knew you give me back my card and go away... I did not authorize you to use this card you did this on your own...

Do not boast that you stand, least you fall.

 

[simonthezealot]

Do not boast that you stand, least you fall.

Do not boast lest we boast in Christ Jesus! boasting in the flesh is precisely what the fellas in Matthew 7 seemed to be up to!

I can truely say I am of the circumcision who worship by the spirit of God! My flesh adds nothing!

Phillipians 3:3
For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
