The following is copied from The Lake of Fire III,

Gary (Orien77), Darren (YellowStone) and I also discussed this theme that runs throughout the entire bible in "Written For Our Admonition" (General Discussions) it is apparent no one escapes the judgement(s), it is only a matter of when.


The Lake of Fire
PART III

JUDGMENT BY FIRE MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD



THE BELIEVER’S JUDGMENT BY FIRE

Well, yes, it does appear that there is a judgment on the house of God, but certainly not a judgment by FIRE, is there? Doesn’t God judge non-believers with fire, but not believers? This only sounds strange to you if you have never been taught the Scriptures.

"Beloved, think it NOT STRANGE concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some STRANGE thing happened unto you" (I Pet. 4:12).

Peter makes it sound as though going through fiery trails is the norm rather than the exception. The New Testament is filled with the fiery trials of the Saints.

Now I hope that none will be offended at my next few statements, but if so, so be it. Unless God Almighty through the purging power of His FIERY SPIRIT, is BURNING OUT the lusts and passions and vanity and haughtiness and greed and self-righteousness and laziness and weakness and hypocrisy and wickedness and pride and materialism and cynicism and depravity and carnality in your life, then Jesus Christ is not choosing you to reign with Him as the Sons of God in the Kingdom of God to bring all Heaven and Earth to repentance and salvation!

And I will tell you on the authority of Jesus Christ and all the Holy Scriptures, that anyone who teaches and takes delight in thinking that God would ever torture anyone for all eternity, will NEVER BE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITH SUCH AN ATTITUDE!

Such damnable character flaws of the mind and spirit are going to be burned out of us all! God will either BURN OUT these filthy impurities from our hearts and minds NOW, or He will BURN THEM OUT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE, but either way, make no mistake about it, THESE THINGS ARE COMING OUT!!!

JOHN THE BAPTIST: John the Baptist said that Jesus would be baptizing repentant believers with fire.

"I indeed baptize you with water unto REPENTANCE: but He that comes after me is mightier than I, Whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, AND WITH FIRE" (Matt. 3:11).

JESUS CHRIST:

"For EVERY ONE [sinner and saint] shall be salted with FIRE" (Mark 9:49).

APOSTLE PETER:

"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it [your faith] be TRIED IN THE FIRE, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" (I Pet. 1:7).

APOSTLE PAUL:

"Every man’s work [including believers] shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed BY FIRE, and the FIRE shall try every man’s work of what sort it is" (I Cor. 3:13).

With such noble and august witnesses, does anyone deny that the repentant, converted, dedicated, believing Christian will escape being "revealed," tried," "salted," and "baptized" by FIRE? These Scriptures are undeniable! Whatever this "fire" is, it is going to be used ON EVERYONE. These four Scriptures have the believer specifically in view, but it says and includes "EVERYONE shall be salted with FIRE," and "EVERY MAN’S WORK ... shall be revealed by FIRE."
I call your attention to statement Strong’s (1b) "In Rev. 3:18 it [fire] is SYMBOLIC, of that which tries the faith of saints, PRODUCING WHAT WILL GLORIFY THE LORD"! (CAPS emphasis mine).

I just love it when Christian Scholars will occasionally just absolutely "nail" a Scriptural Truth. Notice this beautiful and profound Scriptural Truth: The symbolic fire of Rev. 3:18 tries the faith of the saints, and PRODUCES what will GLORIFY THE LORD! ASTOUNDING!

Carefully note that it is not the "believer" who "produces" these glorious things, but it is the "SYMBOLIC FIRE" that produces them. And just Who is this "symbolic fire?" It is, of course, GOD -- "For OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE." (Heb. 12:29)!

Therefore it is GOD who "PRODUCES" qualities in the saints that will GLORIFY HIMSELF! God’s consuming SPIRITUAL fire (remember that "GOD IS SPIRIT" Jn. 4:24) does the "producing," not the saint,

"For HIS ACHIEVEMENT are we, being created in Christ Jesus ..." (Eph. 2:10).

"Now what have you which you did not OBTAIN? Now if you OBTAINED it also [from GOD] why are you boasting as though [you are] not obtaining [it from God]?" (I Cor. 4:7 Concordant Literal New Testament).

"All is of God" (II Cor. 5:18).

"The One Who is operating ALL in accord with the counsel of HIS will" (Eph. 1:11).

--- Quote from: bobbys43 on October 03, 2006, 09:16:37 AM ---Hello all of you my dear brothers,sisters and friends,

 It is a very difficult time for me and I will not deny that. There is a situation I am going through right now and those involved,including myself, have acted in ways that are not good. Those others involved are not followers so I should not be surprised at what is happening.

 I feel ashamed of myself for letting this carnal mind of mine get the best of me. I am being chastised and I know it is for my growth and for my good. I know God loves me and with much patient I know He will work it all out according to his will.

 I had a talk with my big boss yesterday and he shared some things with me and it only proved that my suspicions were correct.

 It was a hard pill to swallow but it has let me know what I need to do right now.

 I do not want to give a big lengthy post here to explain what it is that is going on( it would probably bore you all to tears and or would probably think it is foolish) but if anyone is interested then please PM me and I will explain the situation going on in my life right now. I do believe it would do me much good to be able to talk to you all and the only thing I ask is that you listen(read) and I already know what I need to do.

 Thank you so much for your love,patient and the many kind words you have said. You all mean so much to me and it is so hard to stay away or read without commenting on the posts here.

 For those of you that have asked for prayers please believe me when I say that I do care for you and pray for you even if I do not comment in your request.

Love to you all,

bobby

Bobby,

I am not sure.. what exactly your need. Praying for you there will be no problem. But, if you have a pastor. Pastor supposed to  help you out.  This is the pastor duty.  Wether financially support or spiritually concerned.

Just an adviced as a sister in Christ. Sometimes you just have be opened in one person only. Faith without works is dead. Body without the spirit is dead also.

If this is a concerned about the enemy. The only way you can defeat the enemy by doing good. This is the way I been diciplined myself for many years.

Is Satan find you did wrong. Satan has something that he can prosecute you before God. But, if you did good. Satan has nothing that he can do to harm you. Actually the blessing is in your hand. You hold your own blessing or curse. Whichever you did good or bad.

I hope this will help you. You had nothing to worry if you live the best way how to live for God. As long you did not violate the word of God.

Blessings,
Victoria

Hi Victoria

I have recently recieved the blessing of listening to Rays teachings he gave at Mobile.    Ray explained that given the "opportunity" we would all be capable of being and doing great evils. (If we were born in a family of canibles, we too would become the same... thats how I understand this.....)

For me what makes us good is HIS Faith and what makes us justified before God is His death. ...if you meant that we should have a clear conscience...I agree that the measure against which we should see ourselves is the measure of HIS Spirit of love joy peace kindness goodness patience gentleness faithfulness and self control. I have a long way to go. I am glad that the Father will run out to meet me and you and everyone else who is returning to HIM ... ...........I like to think of the Prodigal Son's experience that can be like ours too....that embrace and joy of God at seeing us coming home to HIM....All by HIS doing and His blessing....

Arcturus :)

Victoria,

hello my friend. First I want to make it clear that I do not attend any institutionalized church of babylon. God revealed to me the lies and deciet that comes from it and I have no desire to return.

 My trials are all of God and it is He and He alone that works in me according to His good pleasure. I am not perfect and still have a long way to go but my faith is in Him and He alone is in control of every thing.

 Satan has no power over me or anyone that is in Christ Jesus. Can satan decieve and try? Yes he can but he is no match for God because God also controls him.
