My comment: I fully oppose the false and incomplete
doctrine of Charles Spurgeon because it is not the full
counsel of Lord Jesus, and Spurgeon's doctrine deceives
souls. Even from very early on in the writings of the
Holy Bible, people can find that God will actually
remove peoples names from His Book of Life. From His
book He will remove the names of people that continue to
sin against Him (ref: Exodus 32:33).
Lord Jesus does give people opportunity to repent of
their sins; however, there were times which have been
recorded in the Holy Bible when certain people were
slain by the Lord suddenly and without written account
in the Holy Bible of them having any opportunity to
repent immediately before the time they were slain by
Him.
Nadab and Abihu were burnt to death suddenly by the Lord
for their sins against Him as they did not regard the
Lord as holy and did not glorify Him (ref: Leviticus
10:1-3). Then in the book of Acts in the New Testament
of the Holy Bible, Ananias and Sapphira were slain by
the Lord for lying to the Holy Spirit (ref: Acts
5:1-11). In order for people to repent of their sins
repentance must 'firstly be granted by God' before
people may decide to repent of their own free will.
● Moreover, people that
blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven
of that sin. Furthermore, all whose names are not in the
Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire (ref:
Revelation 20:15). Even Christians' names can be removed
from that book if they do not remain faithful to
God/Lord Jesus.
Lord Jesus will cut off from Him people that do not
continue in His goodness (ref: Romans 11:21-22). The
Scriptures in Romans are in the form of an epistle
written to all in Rome and all beloved of Lord Jesus
that are called to be saints, and all the writings in
the Holy Bible are to teach, inform and/or warn all
living people.
People aren't continuing in Lord Jesus' goodness unless
they keep His New Testament commandments. If people do
not obey these commandments and they do not later
repent, it means that they hate Lord Jesus and are thus
His enemies. Lord Jesus will not allow such people to
enter heaven. Ref: Psalm 5:5 and Luke 6:46-49.
In some part of the Scripture of Luke in which Jesus
says, 'the ruin of that house was great,' this refers to
eternal and utter ruin. If any person that is Christian
or otherwise listens to the words of Lord Jesus, which
are the written words of the Holy Bible but do not
actually obey these words, they will end up in the fires
of hell forever......2 Thessalonians 1:8....Selah.
Check also the writings in the book of James including
James 1: 5-8 and 4:1-4. There are professing Christians
in the world that are in friendship with unbelieving
sinners and with the wicked ways of this world, so they
are enemies of Lord Jesus, and they must repent or be
damned to hell. Unstable, double minded and insincere
people that claim to be Christians need to turn from
their compromising and sinful ways or else they will
receive nothing from lord Jesus and not even eternal
salvation.
● He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the
book of life, but I will confess his name before my
Father and before his angels. Revelation 3:5.
There is clearly laid out a condition of
salvation with the above Scripture. Saints must endure
through temptations and overcome their sins by the grace
of Lord Jesus after He delivers them from all sins
that they sincerely repent of. If saints have sincerely
repented of their sins and they then follow Lord Jesus
fully for the rest of their lives, their names will not
be blotted out of the Book of Life. The white
raiment/garments which these saints are clothed in
represent the righteous works of obedience to Lord Jesus
by truly repentant saints.
● And being made perfect, he became the author of
eternal salvation unto all them that obey
him.....Hebrews 5:9
Lord Jesus accepts into heaven only
people/saints that obey Him, and not all professing
Christians are presently meeting this requirement,
so any such disobedient people will not be saved to the
uttermost and not be accepted by Lord Jesus into heaven
unless they sincerely repent of their sins and then
follow Lord Jesus sincerely.
● And behold, one came and said unto him, "Good Master,
what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal
life?" And he said unto him, "Why callest thou me good?
There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou
wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." He saith
unto him, "Which?" Jesus said, "Thou shalt do no murder,
thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal,
thou shalt not bear false witness, honor thy father and
thy mother: and thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. Matthew 19:16-19.
These scriptures in the book of Matthew
along with other similar verses of Scripture in the Holy
Bible clearly tell us the conditions of eternal
salvation. Christians/saints must obey the New Testament
commandments of Lord Jesus including loving the Lord
God/Lord Jesus with all of their heart, all of their
soul and their entire mind, and they must also love
their neighbours exactly as themselves.
C.H.Spurgeon: Mark! "All that the Father giveth Me shall
come to Me." Not one of those whom the Father hath given
to Jesus shall perish. If any were lost, the text would
have to read: "Almost all," or, "All but one;" but it
positively says "All," without exception; even though
one may have been, in his unregenerate state, the very
chief of sinners. Yet even that chosen one, that given
one, shall come to Jesus; and when he has come, he shall
be held by that strong love that at first chose him, and
he shall never be let go, but shall be held fast, even
unto the end.

What does that say about Judas Iscariot?
Take note that Judas Iscariot was an apostle called by
Lord Jesus and who learned directly from Lord Jesus face
to face in His very presence.
Lord Jesus loved Judas, but Judas like many people in
the world today loved money more than loving Lord Jesus.
Judas clearly hated and resisted Lord Jesus as have
certain professing Christians after him. Judas chose to
betray Lord Jesus and later hung himself, so Judas was
clearly not on the hilltops of glory after his walk of
disobedience, yet Judas came to Jesus.
● And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am
glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world,
but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy
Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast
given me, that they may be one as we are. While I was
with in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that
thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost,
but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be
fulfilled.
John 17:10-12.
It is important to understand that Judas
Iscariot did have a part in Lord Jesus' kingdom for a
time, and he also had the offer of eternal salvation but
rejected it by his actions. Lord Jesus has never forced
any human being to follow Him but has instead warned
people of the eternal consequences of continuing to
disobey Him.
When someone receives Lord Jesus as their saviour, it is
not a case of irresistible grace but a matter of choice.
Jesus Christ never forced Judas Iscariot to follow Him
nor did he force Judas to betray Him; it was one hundred
percent 'Judas' choice'. However, Lord Jesus certainly
knew beforehand that Judas was going to betray Him, but
that still does not change the fact that Judas chose to
do so of his own free will. Lord Jesus gives all of His
followers the choice of whether they will follow Him and
continue to follow Him or not (ref: John 6:63-71).
● Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living
God. But exhort one another daily while it is called.
'Today;' lest any of you be hardened through the
deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of
Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence
steadfast unto the end; while it is said, 'Today if you
will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation.'...Hebrews 3:12-15
There are Christians in the world that do
become hardened through the deceitfulness of sin, so
they must humble themselves and repent again of their
sins and then be doers of Lord Jesus' words that He
taught them or else they can forget about entering
heaven.
Christian brethren have been warned in the above verses
of Scripture, so take note and remember that there are
conditions of salvation. After Lord Jesus calls a
person, it is totally their choice of whether they are
going to follow Him or not. If you repent sincerely of
your sins and choose to follow Lord Jesus, you must then
continue to sincerely obey all of His New Testament
commandments for the rest of your days if you want to
please Lord Jesus and remain His friend and thus be
accepted by Him into heaven. (Obedience up to the
light/knowledge you have).
We must learn the full gospel of Lord Jesus by taking
into account all the points He has informed people
about. It will not profit a Christian ultimately if they
continue throughout their lifetime to learn from a
professing Christian or professing minister that
preaches or teaches a part of the gospel but not the
full gospel or if they preach interpretations altogether
of what they think the gospel means. Such false
teachings will lead blind followers and the teachers and
preachers o such doctrine all the way to hell unless
they repent and then stop teaching, preaching or
believing in such heresy (ref: Matthew 15:10-14, Matthew
7:15-23 and Galatians 1:6-9).
Test the teachings of a professing Christian, professing
Christian minister and even of a Christian or minister
that is actually called and sent by Lord Jesus. It is
essential for church congregations to learn from a
faithful minister actually sent by Lord Jesus and learn
by reading and thinking carefully about heavenly
Father's written words directly from the Holy Bible. The
purpose of this truthful learning is for a Christian's
edification, education for their spirit and eternal
welfare of their souls, fruitful growth in the faith, to
deliver them from the confusion, deception and
exploitation caused by the teachings of false churches,
false Christians, Apostates and Heretics (ref: Ephesians
4:11-16).
