[quote:Anonymous Coward 879764:MV85ODA4OTRfQkU5Rjg1NzA=] We're all familiar with this promise, correct? Many of us quote it at unbelievers as a grim reminder of what they have in store. But consider. . .will these folks be [i]forced[/i] to confess Christ as Lord? Highly unlikely, since that's not how God does things, and he's made it clear he has no interest in people honoring him with their lips when their hearts are far from him. I think we must conclude that all who submit to Him on that day will do so willingly. So my question is this: Do we *really* believe that God will [u]deny[/u] them the promised salvation of sincerely yielding and recognizing Him? [/quote]
