Kermit Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 The Bible states that whoever calls on His name shall be saved. Therefore, it does not matter at what stage in life it happens, as long as the person welcomes God into their heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 The Parable of the Workers in the Field "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. "About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' So they went. "He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?' " 'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.' "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.' "The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.' "But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?' "So the last will be first, and the first will be last." (Matt.20: 1-16) Three Principles First, no matter when in your life you decide to join His Kingdom, you are entitled to all the rights and benefits pertaining thereto the moment you do. (Ephe 1:13-14) The last ones hired got the same pay as the first. Second, you have to sign up before the end of the day. (Hebr. 4:7) No one was hired after the end of the day and as I said, the day represents our lifetime. Third, if you think you deserve more in the Kingdom because you worked longer or harder or lived a better life than someone else, then you've forgotten how you got in. You weren't saved because of your merit or worthiness, but because of His mercy and grace. Thinking He owes you something extra is a sin that if left unconfessed won't get you thrown out, (remember every worker is a believer) but it could put a strain on your relationship with the Lord during your life and will certainly diminish your joy at having been accepted into the Kingdom.

Guest Guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Give me a Break. Is this the Christian lie chat room? How can there be a God or Gods when it was all made up by human beings or homo homo sapiens. And even possibly before that by Cromagnon man and Neanderthal cave men (who live simultaneously for a thousand years). But, that can be true.... those fossils and bones aren't real......... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cro-Magnon Oh wait maybe you better not click the link, it might bring reality crashing down upon your supernatural world.............

As you will be, too, if you're wrong. Why would I want to believe in a God who would punish me simply for not believing? Isn't that the best way to scare someone away from pursuing any interest in any organized religion? Oh....that's right. You haven't thought that one through, have you?
