Bible History indicates only FEW Christians will be Finally Saved!

(Luke 13:23-28)  "Then said one unto him, Lord, are there FEW [Christians] that be saved? And he [Jesus] said unto them, {24} STRIVE to enter in at the STRAIT GATE: for many [Christians], I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall NOT be able. {25} When once the master of the house is risen up [after the Rapture], and hath shut to the door [of Heaven], and ye [or those Christians left behind] begin to stand without ['The Door' - John 10:7], and to knock at the door [in prayer], saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he [Jesus] shall answer and say unto you, I KNOW YOU NOT whence ye are : {26} Then shall ye [who have been left behind] begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence [at the Communion table], and thou hast taught in our streets [in our home groups]. {27} But he [Jesus] shall say, I tell you, I KNOW YOU NOT whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. {28} There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out."

(Matt 7:13-14)  "Enter ye in at the STRAIT GATE: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many [Christians] there be which go in thereat: {14} Because STRAIT is the gate, and NARROW is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW [Christians] there be that find it."

This website explores the Bible's evidence that this claim is valid.

Three Biblical examples of this are when God's judgment came upon the inhabitants of Earth at various times throughout Earth's history, that only FEW people were 'saved':

  • Days of Noah - 8 souls saved out of the entire world's population
  • Days of Lot - 3 souls saved out of an estimated population of 3 million people
  • Days of Moses - 2 souls saved our of an estimated population of 2 million adult Jews that departed Egypt for the Promised Land.

New Testament scripture warns Christians that as it was in those days, so it shall be in these days:

(Luke 17:26-30)  "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. {27} They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. {28} Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; {29} But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. {30} Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed."

There are three articles that highlight the doctrinal error that has crept into the churches that relates to Salvation. The many false beliefs about today will damn many Christians for preferring to believe a lie rather than what God has stated in scripture. This is the same method Satan used to deceive Adam and Eve into disobeying God when he cast doubt into Eve's mind when he said (emphasized below):

(Gen 3:1)  "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said..."

Other areas of Bible doctrine that Christianity fails to present as being essential to Salvation is the need for Christians to become:

  • Holy as God is holy (1 Peter 1:16)
  • Perfect as God the Father is perfect (Matt 5:48)
  • Your own righteousness (2 Cor 9:10) MUST exceed the righeousness that represents a Scribe and Pharisee (Matt 5:20) - hypocrisy, religious, a false accuser, misrepresenting what scripture plainly states, etc.
  • Become "a good workman for Jesus" (2 Tim 2:15)
  • To produce "GREATER WORKS" than Jesus did when He walked on Earth (John 14:12).

To meet these essential requirements for Salvation, the Christian MUST be "born-again" (John 3:3-8). This is a new-birth experience (John 3:4) as revealed in scripture (Acts 9:18).

When the Christian can truly SEE the kingdom of God after this event has occurred (John 3:3), he or she must then begin to WALK in the Spirit for the remainder of their lifetime on Earth because:

'Walking in the Spirit' is an essential requirement for Salvation!

To do this, Christians must become 'spiritually minded':

(Rom 8:1) "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK   not after the flesh, but AFTER THE SPIRIT.”

If we take this statement literally, it is saying that unless a Christian "walks in the Spirit" during his or her lifetime on the Earth, condemnation will be waiting for that individual from Jesus at the Judgment because their 'carnal man' had not been crucified (Rom 6:6)

(Rom 8:6) For to be carnally minded is  [eternal]  death; but to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED is [eternal] life and peace.  See also Gal 5:16; Gal 5:25; 1 John 2:6.

This website has been established to help Christians understand what Biblically-based doctrine is (2 Tim 2:15) and involves applying the appropriate verses of related scripture from both testaments to prove the claims scripture makes, together using a literal interpretation of the King James Bible wherever possible. This means that if the Bible says to do something (i.e. 1 John 2:1), God then expects His people to believe and do what it says as an act of faith (Heb 11:6).

In this regard, Jesus plainly stated: 

(Rev 1:3)  "Blessed [for eternity] is he [or she] that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep [or do] those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." 

I have discovered that many Christians today simply prefer to believe only  in the name of Jesus Christ to be saved – and as a consequence, avoid undertaking any of the necessary “works of faith” that are plainly stated throughout James chapter 2 and Hebrews chapter 11 as being a requirement for Salvation.

Any belief (or church ritual) that avoids what the full meaning of "believing in Christ" means (Acts 15:11; Acts 16:31; Rom 10:9) while failing to produce the necessary 'works of faith' (James 2:26) that avoids bringing 'much spiritual fruit' into God's kingdom - such a belief fails the fundamental test of sound doctrine (1 Tim 1:10; 2 Tim 4:3; Titus 1:9; Titus 2:1-2).

(John 15:5-8)  "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing...{8} Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear MUCH FRUIT [through 'works' initiated by God the Father as being His will (Matt 7:21), and]; so shall ye be my disciples."

(James 2:19-20)  "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. {20} But wilt thou know, O vain man, that without [the accompanying] works [that produce 'fruit unto God' - John 15:1-2] is dead [faith, and therefore worthless towards God]?"

The purpose of this website is to explain the requirements of God contained in scripture for His children on Earth, and the expectations He has of them that church leaders today fail to teach. 

Conditional Salvation 

To help address the false belief of Once Saved, Always Saved and of Eternal Security (otherwise known as Calvinism), this website promotes the doctrine of Conditional Salvation that requires ‘conditions' to be met if Christians realistically expect to spend eternity with their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in eternity - eg. Heb 12:14. 

‘Saved’ versus ‘Born-again’ 

It is through my own personal experience that all children of God here upon the Earth (Eph 5:1) must at some point during their lifetime experience the new birth – or to become spiritually ‘born-again.’ This ‘experience’ is completely different from simply being ‘Saved,’ although every child of God must be both Saved (Rom 10:9-10) and Born-again’ (John 3:1-8; Acts 9:18) to inherit eternal life with Christ. The need for this spiritual ‘birth’ to take place is recognized by Jesus where He said: 

(John 3:7)  "MARVEL NOT that I said unto thee, Ye MUST be born again." 

‘Walking in the Spirit’

The term “walking” indicates a movement of a person’s body from one point to another point. If a Christian is not moving forward along the ‘Narrow Way’ that leads to the Straight Gate (Matt 7:14), then it is reasonable to question if that Christian is indeed ‘walking.’ If they are 'walking,' then it's worth considering what direction are they travelling in (Matt 7:13)? 

This 'walk' is a spiritual journey that commcences at the 'new birth'. It must end with the Christian victoriously overcoming Satan's devices (1 Peter 5:8; 2 Cor 2:11) that he uses to deceive God's people in the same way as Christ overcame him:

(Rev 3:21-22)  "To him [the Christian] that overcometh will I [Jesus] grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. {22} He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."

Menu Item - BOOK EXTRACTS 

This website promotes the eBook “The Christian’s Practical Guide to Walking in the Spirit” to help Christians be become truly effective towards serving Jesus.

To help readers learn more about this, extracts from five of the six chapters of the eBook are provided for examination.

Menu Item - ENDTIME SIGNS 

I have been a ‘watchman on the walls’ of the Christian church for more than 20 years while observing events both inside and outside the church. This tab highlights how many disasters in recent times are culminating with other signs that Jesus said would indicate when the end of the world would come. 

(Matt 24:3-4)  "And as he [Jesus] sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? {4} And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you." 

A end-time sign that occurred in 2010 was that of the ‘comet’ Elenin heading towards Earth – or as some believed it to be, a dwarf star about the size of Jupiter (which is 16 times larger than planet Earth).

During the lead up to event, I encouraged visitors to this website to read what I had researched from the web about Elenin. I would now encourage visitors to read my analysis of the Elenin hoax. This article highlights how a 36-year old Swiss banknote was involved with this deception.
