My Response To Daddy Freeze On The Issue Of Muslims Going To Heaven.


Christ did not come to start a religion, he came to restore humanity & bring men into a relationship and fellowship with God even deeper than the way it was before the fall. Christ is not coming again to take a people of religion belonging to either the christian, Islamic or anyother religion; he's rather coming to take his bride, his church and that includes all who belong to him as members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones(Ephesians 5:29-33). 
Those who like a bride deeply in love with her bridegroom, earnestly long & look for his appearing. 1Thessalonians 4:16-18; Titus 2:13; 2Timothy 4:8 and Hebrews 9:28 all show us that when the Lord shall descend from heaven for the catching up of saints, he shall appear unto those that look for him. This is what going to heaven is all about and it has nothing to do with whether you're a christian or a muslim; has nothing to do with your religious divide or denomination but your relationship with the Son of God as the one sent of God to die for the sins of mankind and save as many as will believe in him. 

Philippians 3:20-21 says "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself"

* This is the hope and expectation of those who truly believe in him and look for his appearing. Earnestly looking and longing for his coming to take them to the Father's house, just as he promised in John 14. Any profession of faith short of this hope and expectation of the coming saviour from heaven, winds up in perdition and damnation, no matter how pious and religiously appealing it might seem with all the forms of godliness.

Hebrews 10
37  For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39  But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

When Jesus made the absolute claim in John 14:6 that he is the way, the truth and the life and that no man can come to the Father but by him; it was in connection to going to heaven(the Father's house) that he said those peremptory words. He did not mince words about it. There's no other way, no other truth, no other life to bring us to the Father/grant us an eternity spent in fellowship with God and his glory. It is as absolute as the truth that there's no revelation/seeing of the Father outside him. 
The invisible God who no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see; can only be seen in his Son who according to scriptures is the image of the invisible God. Outside of Christ, the son of the living God there is no true revelation/seeing of God. 1 Timothy 6:16; Hebrews 1:2-3 and Colossians 1:13-16.
In John 14:8-9 when Philip said unto Jesus "shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us." Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?


*There's absolutely no revelation/seeing of the Father outside the Son(Jesus Christ).
It takes one who is one with the Father and equal with him to fully manifest him such that it can be said "He that has seen me, has seen the Father".

False Assertions About Sin. Part 6.

False Assertions Addressed By John.  (3.) "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."  1 John 1:10. This is the third false assertion about sin, which John the apostle dealt with. I know you must have heard some preachers/christians today teaching that the new creation man does not have a past; that the new creation man is not the man that Christ died for, that the new creation is not the redeemed for he never existed prior to his birth in Christ. I was once in a service in 2001 when a renown preacher/televangelist, in a bid to demonstrate and pass across this teaching, brought out two men, and put one of them infront and said that is the sinner, that is the man that Christ died for, the man that was redeemed; he can sing: 'Amazing grace...that saved a wretch like me'; he can sing the songs of redemption.  He then led the second man out and said that is the new creation man, the man who has no past; that is

Who Is A Man Of God? Part 1.

The Man Of God Or The Man Of Himself.  A very thin line exists between a man of God and a man of himself. Many today are called men of God but they are men of themselves or men of the people. They speak of themselves, represent their own interests and concerns, even in the things of God. It's high time we defined who a man of God is. The general tendency we have is to refer to people as men of God, simply because they carry the bible and preach or because they set up a religious organisation, and have a building where they use a microphone to speak to a congregation. There's also the tendency to think that those called into the word ministry like apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors, are automatically constituted men of God. The appellation or designation 'man of God' was not carelessly used in scriptures, and should not be carelessly used by any bible believer. Scriptures scarcely referred to men as 'men of God', thus we should be c

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.  By Dipo Ecclesia When I gave my heart to Jesus as a teenager and later staggered in faith, I became agnostic and showed complete apathy to the things of the spirit and I stopped going to church. I began to doubt everything about  Christianity and the bible and will try hard to argue the bible logically with anybody I see. After some years (Five years precisely), there was this strong and serious desire for me to seek God again (I actually embraced Islam at a point but just didn't practice). The desire to seek God was so strong and compelling that it became a struggle with me and the Lord before I finally yielded and bent to the will of the Lord and was restored. Back then I made up my mind that if there is really a Living God and since I HAVE JUST ONE LIFE, then I want to know Him myself before I die and not just what preachers have being telling me, in fact I asked God to show Himself to me and He did by some encounter
