not be deceived.

Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, [a] nor sodomites,
10
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of
God.
Galatians 5:13-21 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not
use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.[a] 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest
you be consumed by one another! I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you
shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and
the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you
do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not
under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,
[b]
fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions,
jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy,
murders,[c] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand,
just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will
not inherit the kingdom of God.
PLEASE remember that this doesnt mean that you lose your eternal salvation
(spirit salvation) we are already in possession of that. Ephesians 2:8 For by
Grace you have been saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift
of God, not by works, lest anyone should boast. It simply means that once you
are in possession of eternal life, if you live your life accordingly to your own
selfish desires, living contrary to the word of God, and the spirit, you WILL NOT
INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD .
In other words you have not run the race according to the rules and you have
been disqualified from receiving the prize. Paul tells us in Philippians 3:13
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those
things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the
upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 16:24-27 Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come
after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For
whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life
for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the
whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange
for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His
angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
In the above scripture, we see that if we want to follow Christ we need to lay
down our life, thats our flesh (our soul life) in order to save our soul so that we
dont lose it at the Judgment. Please remember this has nothing to do with the

salvation of the Spirit, which is a free gift and relates to eternity, beyond the
millennium.
1 Corinthians 3:11-17 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is
Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
straw, 13 each ones work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed
by fire; and the fire will test each ones work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyones work which he has
built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyones work is burned, he will suffer loss; but
he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. (The Second Death)16 Do you not know that you are
the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God,
God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
These verses again are talking about your soul life. God will destroy your soul as through fire. If
you therefore lose your life now (walk according to the Spirit) you will find it (save it). However, if
you desire to save your life (live according to your own desires/your soul) you will lose it.
(Matthew 16:24-27).
The Second Death, Revelation 21:8 is a reference to the lake which burns with fire and brimstone,
being the lake of fire. This is also a reference to the outer darkness.
Revelations 22:14-15 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to
the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and
sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
Matthew 25:14-30 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his
own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and
to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then
he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17
And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18 But he who had received one
went and dug in the ground, and hid his lords money. 19 After a long time the lord of those
servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 So he who had received five talents came and
brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five
more talents besides them. 21 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you were
faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
22
He also who had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look,
I have gained two more talents besides them. 23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful
servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into
the joy of your lord.24 Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you
to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered
seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is
yours. But his lord answered and said to him, You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap
where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited
my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.
28
Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.29 For to everyone

who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even
what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The above verses, Matthew 25:14-30 is a parable which shows us that when Jesus appears to rapture
the church, we will then appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ at which time we will be
rewarded according to our works 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before

the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things
done in the body, whether good or bad.
The servant who was not faithful with what he had received was cast into outer darkness. The
outer darkness is where those who have not been overcomers will be during the Millennium (Rev
22:15)
The parable of the Wedding Feast shows us the same thing.
Matthew 22:1-14 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 The kingdom
of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call
those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out other
servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted
cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding. 5 But they made light of it and
went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants,
treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he
sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then he said to his
servants, The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 Therefore go into
the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding. 10 So those servants went out into the
highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was
filled with guests.11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not
have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here without a
wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand
and foot, take him away, and[a] cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.
14

For many are called, but few are chosen.

The first part of this parable relates to Israel and its rejection of the invitation. Then in the verse 9
the invitation is to all who would come and the wedding hall was filled with people who had
accepted the invitation, in other words all those who had been born again ie; accepted Jesus.
Then we see in verse 11 that a man didnt have on a wedding garment. Now lets look at
Revelation19:7-8 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has
come, and His wife has made herself ready. 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine
linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
We see as we compare scripture with scripture, the wedding garment that the man in Matthews
parable didnt possess was the righteous acts of the saints as shown in Revelations 19:8.

So summing up these verses, all who had received the invitation to the wedding were born again,
had accepted the invitation, however not all were PREPARED and READY as we see in verse 7 of
Revelations. Those that havent prepared themselves or adorned themselves with a wedding
garment, being the righteous acts of the saints were cast him into outer darkness; there will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The Second Death (revised 7/2/15)
Adam.

The first death we experience through

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and
death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.
Revelations 2:11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.
In other words those that dont overcome shall be hurt by the second
death.
Revelations 21:7-8 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be
his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable,
murder, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their
part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second
death.
Please note that the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable.. are actually
Christians who have not walked by the Spirit but by the flesh and have not
overcome and therefore do not inherit all things
Revelations 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection.
Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and
of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Here we see that those over which the second death has no power, the
overcomers, shall reign with Christ during the thousand years in the
millennium.
So the saving of the soul is in relation to the millennium in which we who
possess eternal life (salvation of the spirit) shall either be overcomers, in
which case we shall reign with Christ for a thousand years (in the millennium or
the 7th day) or will not be overcomers (not saving our soul) and shall have
their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the
second death.
Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is
coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He
will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Jesus indeed does baptize us with the Holy Spirit and fire. Fire is a refining
process, getting rid of impurities. So if we are refined here and now by dying to
our soul life, we wont be hurt by the second death, go through the fire. (1
Corinthians 3:15, Rev 21:8).

In the following verses Paul is speaking to the Corinthian Church, (to Christians)
who again, are walking not according to the Spirit but according the
flesh.
1 Corinthians 6:8-10 No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your
brethren! 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do
