Here it is for me. I live according to God’s plan, not because i have to, because there is not anything I would rather do. This comes after salvation, this ease with living according to God’s plan.
It just makes me sigh when some says, "If you are saved and cannot lose your salvation, then what stops you from sinning, or being bad?” This is the acme of ignorance! We are saved not when we may be sinners, being saved WANTS to live according to God’s plan; it is like pleasing the most wonderful!
When I die, I go to heaven, do not have a carnal body, Earth, no more. I am with God forever. Jesus said in His father’s house, (heaven) there are many mansions ( like a desirable place to be, beyond human apprehension, so Jesus said mansions). Jesus also said His Kingdom is not of THIS world. (Heaven)
This is what i know and all i need to know. I manage to live by faith, receive Grace, the Holy Spirit fills my soul. My soul lives forever. I am saved and go to heaven. Saved is when God knows you are not going to fall into sin.
I heard of this other stuff, but I am not interested in earthly Kingdoms, I am interested in the Kingdom Jesus told to Pilot, not of this world.
If some people come though Christ by tribulations and remain on Earth, well, that is for them, not for me. No, they are not in the Body of Christ.
As to the apostles, I doubt anyone failed to realise what I have come to realise. Just look at Peter, he knew well, after the incident, when Jesus told him what he could not believe about himself, then Peter changed, he grew in faith. Look at Paul, how can one say Paul is not in the Body of Christ?
