Amen Marlene! And for those of us who have had family members and friends who passed on without ever saying "the sinners prayer"; It is a comforting thing to now know that they too will all get the same equal and fair judgement as the rest of us.

thank you charles for your input....you stated it beautifully....i know what you are saying is absolutely true....
for me, i just seem to be living this scripture:
"Rom 9:2 that my grief is great, and a never ceasing pain is in my heart,
Rom 9:3 for I myself was wishing to be a curse from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to flesh,"
but God has a plan, and i trust Him, even though i don't always understand, and i sometimes get discouraged, but His will be done.

G. Driggs:
If I may also point out from Scriptures a few more differences between the many and the few, to further encourage you all to continue in the good fight.
Exo 19:3 And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him out of the mountain, saying, You shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the sons of Israel: (the few)
Exo 19:4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians (the many), and I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.
Exo 19:5 And now if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to Me above all the nations; for all the earth is Mine.
Exo 19:6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the sons of Israel.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I give out of those of the synagogue of Satan (the many), those saying themselves to be Jews and are not, but lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
Rev 3:10 Because you have kept the Word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation which will come upon all the habitable world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.
Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly. Hold fast to that which you have, so that no one may take your crown.
Rev 3:12 Him who overcomes I will make him a pillar (priests) in the temple of My God, and he will go out no more. And I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My God, and My new name.
Thank you Marques for the reminder and the encouragement.
Peace, G.Driggs

It was NOT, nothing more, Marques. There were tears of appreciation running down my face after I read your post. THAT is the kind of Post I for one, certainly would benifit from seeing more of!
With gratitude.
