I think it all comes down to be born again .A new spiritual being ,made just like our LORD JESUS CHRIST .Many are called ,few choosen.I was dead 2 times.Once before the NEW birth ,once after.I went to church and knew the LORd from my youth,But had not accepted HIM as LORd.I thought I was saved as so many do.Yet I had not experianced a new birth .But thinking I could accept it by faith .Which ,We must be BORN OF GOD.The 1st time I died ,I fell into darkness ,falling fast in this darkness ,knowing I was going to await judgement ,Full of fear.The next time I had a new birth experiance.This time I went to NEW JERUSALEM ,far from earth in space .I saw the city ,but did not enter in .I could have.I ask my LORD JESUS CHRIST ,could I return for tend to my kids and wife.HE said yes.I came back to my flesh and entered in .Death to the child of GOD ,is a blessing.But without the new birth is fearfull .The city I saw,is moving very fast toward the earth.I saw it in 1976.It should be here soon to recieve the LORDS BODY.We are spirits 1st .This part of us is who the LORD died for. This is the part of us that must be BORN OF GOD.If we have this birth.We have faith in our salvation forever more.1Jo 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
