Reply to Michael deKruif.Hej Michael, first of all you may read my "letter" the way as I write it. But I will try to showe you what it is I mean.have a blessed weekend in the name of Jesus - Jan Mikael !"it is Two - DIFFERENT - Events / Times !"
I - stated the following:event - point 1. - I believe that - we are saved by faith, Jesus have paid the price - no doubt !For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.the only thing you can, and have to do, - is in faith to accept this free gift. and start your walk with God. We have to understand the meaning of the word of Paul, in Philippians 2:12.v. - because it is the way unsaved people can see in who we believe !---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------event - point 2. - but the escape events we have to work for, thats the risen why the word say, that we must pray and work for, to be found worthy to escape the tribulation.
We can read it clearly out of the parable of the ten Virgins, and the Invitation to the Wedding. f. ex: many are called, but few are chosen. - why ? Jesus says: because they were not found worthy. - It have nothing to do with there salvation ! - But to escape the tribulation, - and come to the Wedding-feast - the Great Coronation in Heaven !
I realy hope you understand me, if not, you must go to the Holy Bible itself, and there you can see the differences between those two events ! - Remember that we always in pray, can ask Jesus for help to understand and obey !
in the Love of Jesus - Jan Mikael ><>
