But what will you do in Heaven, Night?

Unlike the Trads, I do not speculate whether my opponents will or will not be there.

What I do know is that those who reject the wedding grament of Christ's righteousness and try to keep the law as a way to gain merit or favor with God will be left out in the cold darkness. When they come to Him and wail about how they did the right things, ate the right things, said the right things, had all the 'right' truth, tried to make themselves perfect so Christ would accept them, tried to make themselves 'worthy' for inspection in the judgment, He will tell them He never knew them. They are blind and refused the eyesalve. They took solace in thier accomplishments and denominationl pride just as the Jews of old. They boasted about how they had not 'sinned' in at least a week. They arrogantly claimed to be the select few who were superior to other Christians. They believed in an anti-Christ system that claims Jesus needs our 'help' in the salvation process. Christ pleaded with them to come to Him and give all thier religiosity over to Him, take rest from the burdens of thier efforts to gain salvation and let Him do it all. They refused.

Since there will be no one in Heaven who will believe that way, and since all who are there will have rejected any works-based system of salvation and glory in Christ's imputed righteousness and merits on thier behalf just as Luther and Paul explained it, I will not have any issues.

I will leave it to others to determine if the shoe fits thier foot.
