Lake of Fire question
Laren:
From my understanding from Ray's teachings, the carnal mind of non overcomers is destroyed/purged in the LOF.
Does the carnal mind at that time exist seperate from body (dust) + spirit?
Does body (dust) + spirit=soul (carnal mind) apply to only this physical life, but after the resurrection of the wicked, the mind can exist seperate from flesh body (dust)??

Hi Laren,
I found a couple of things from Ray's lake of fire series,
this might help you with your question.
Ray's lake of fire series, part 12------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We have already proved that "the fire shall try every man’s work" in I Cor. 3:13 is a spiritual match with Rev. 20:13 & 15 where "they were judged every man according to their works … in the lake of fire" And in both cases the "fire" is God’s SPIRIT. God’s spirit burns spiritual character flaws out of the hearts of mankind in a similar way in which literal fire burns up and abolishes wood, straw, and stubble. And since we are the Body of Christ and we too are made "flames of fire," then we also judge the deeds of men’s heart.
part 3--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In statement (1) the editor of Strong’s cites seven more Scriptures that are used symbolically and figuratively to demonstrate "the holiness of God, which CONSUMES ALL that is inconsistent therewith." It doesn’t consume their physical bodies, nor does it burn their physical bodies to produce pain, but it "CONSUMES" all that is not consistent with God’s holiness. And these are the things of the heart, mind and spirit! It is not the "body" that needs chastisement and purification, it is the MIND, HEART, AND SPIRIT that needs purification from unholiness. You cannot burn pride and vanity out of one’s heart with REAL FIRE (besides the advocates of torturing with real fire for all eternity admit that it accomplishes NOTHING). It takes the fire of God’s spirit to burn away evils that have their origin in the realm of spirit.

This tells you what happens to the carnal mind of man.
Rev 21: 1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were PASSED AWAY; and there was no more sea."
There was no more room for mans carnal mind, man's heaven and earth, for they had passed away in the Presence of God.
I hope that helps,
ALex :D
