This is the same for all believers not just Christ's disciples, just as John 17 says, it says He has authority over ALL flesh to give eternal life to as many as God has given Him. Now maybe you dont consider yourself one of those that God has given to Christ, well then if God did not do that for you too, then your still dead in your sins.All they lacked was repentance. They had become carnal. If they didn't repent, what would have happened to them? Do slaves of Satan go to heaven?
Jesus said He hadn't lost any of them the Father had given Him, except the son of perdition that scripture might be fulfilled. He was speaking of His disciples. You have to look at all three Synoptic gospels to find the missing pieces to get the whole truth. Otherwise, you'll make up your own doctrine and contradict the rest of the Word of God.
I dont make up doctrine.
John 17 New King James Version (NKJV)
17 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
