Christians: wheat, sheep, good soil, et all........symbolism is not lost on me. I don't need a road map.
Christians do not build with wrong materials.......it is the Holy Spirit in us that teaches, convicts, comforts et all......and God has prepared ALL my good works that I SHOULD walk in them. Eph 2:10 God gives us the materials. Those who fail got their materials from the world. Some people talk the talk but they were never OF US.

1 JOHN 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that [a]it would be evident that they all are not of us

Need I remind you that scripture picking is the road to apostasy

ok...this takes care of these latest posts.......now give the scripture where you said the wheat is burned.
I don't know why you think you have to talk down to me.....its rather insulting. I was re-born...but not yesterday.
First, if my language is demeaning, I should stop, and second, if you dismiss my examples, which were taken from scripture, out of hand, and without comment, I should also stop. No "talking down to" was intended, but if I inadvertently did, I apologize.

God bless.

....and still no scripture for your statement that God's people (the wheat) are burned up

I'm not the only one you talk down to.....but you are not alone in doing that. I see more sermons in these forums in an hour than Spurgeon wrote in his lifetime. (ok, a little exaggeration)

I get criticized for anwers that are too short.....yet I assume that the person I am talking to is an adult with at least a high school education and SOME theology background. I would expound if asked. Peeps seldom ask because they know they are not going to get an answer they agree with.

I am sovereign grace believer (tulip++) have basically many of the same basic doctrines as Baptists.
Non dispy and pro amill. So I'd like to know where you are.....though I think I can guess.

Brother, if my style is offensive to you, I'm the first to back off.

Go well.
