Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; 1 Corinthians 1:26.

Take a good look at your favorite politician. You may only see them this side of heaven.

Favorite politician?
I'm not anyones judge so I cant say who is going to Heaven and who aint. However from the egregious evil that comes from many of them, its easy to know that unless they repent they are in trouble.

Why single out politicians? "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. "

Jesus is the judge. Mark chapter 3 , Jesus tells us, those who do will of God are my brothers. sisters and mother. Servant of God is in the same business as God, the salvation business. Corinthians tells us to examine ourselves if we're Reprobates?. First Corinthians chapter 2, tells us, the carnal minded man cant understand spirtual things, its foolishness to them. But the spirtual person understands, because its spirtualty Discerned. You need the holy spirit to make it to paradise. Lot of people will get off the exit too the wide gate to sheol, Luke chapter 13. Read Luke chapter 16. Theirs two sides of the gulf in paradise. Neither side can cross over to each other. The reprobates are in sheol, its called hell. Its prison, holding place for the wicked. They didn't repent sins to God and didn't have holy spirit. You need the holy spirit to help guide you. Lot of people are blinded by the god of this world, Corinthians chapter 4 to document. And I'm not judging people. I told the truth.

The position of power is God-ordained. What leaders do with that power is the leader’s choice and their responsibility to choose wisely. Not all leaders make wise choices and many abuse the power their position provides.

Our God-given responsibility is to pray for leaders—not to determine their worthiness in receiving those prayers. We determine our obedience, and God takes care of the rest.

I believe all are called ---God wants all people -----Saved to reside with Him in His Domain ----It is us who make the choice not to adhere to that call and go with the god of this world ----and end up in a bad eternal home -----

It sounds like your blaming God for not Calling certain people to be Saved ---correct me if I am wrong --

When someone speculates that not many politicians will be in heaven....
I don't think that's a news flash.

Do they confess the name of Jesus Christ?

Do they believe in Jesus Christ and undergo the persecution that always follows that belief?

Luke 9:24
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, this is the one who will save it.

Are they baptized into that death that Christ endured in order to be raised by Jesus?

These are the type of questions that we must all ask of ourselves, let alone politicians.

I think that once a politician has professed Jesus as their Savior, then they are saved? What happened to the OSAS, doesn't it apply to all?

Or do they preach another Jesus? "For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. " 2 Corinthians 11:4

It is not through a "profession" of belief that one enters into the New Covenant with Christ... it is through belief.

Since we cannot see into the heart of another man, God tells us in scripture we can know a thing by it's fruit.



This isn't complicated.

Most politicians are phony as three-dollar bills. They court Christians only to get their votes. The really pathetic thing though is how so many so-called Christians idolize them.
