An Immediate Entrance into Glory Upon Death?

Theology Biblical Theology
#1

I recently finished reading James Relly’s “Epistles: or, A Great Salvation Contemplated” and he answers these three questions in one of his letters to a church:

  1. What is the situation of unbelievers after death?
  2. How are they to be delivered?
  3. When shall they be delivered?

I will share his response later LW (Lord willing).

How would you all answer the question?

BTW, I of the persuasion that ALL post-mortem punishment occurs BEFORE the ressurection. Nevertheless, I am not firm in this belef.

If anybody would like access to Relly’s book, here you go: mercyuponall.org/wp-content/ … 0relly.pdf

Welcome Alexander!

I’ve approved your first post. There will be at least one more moderator-approval needed (maybe a couple or three–I’m not certain), and then after that your contributions will be approved automatically. We’re not always on the forum, so if it takes a little while, please don’t be discouraged. We’ll pass them through (as long as you don’t turn out to be a spambot :laughing: ) as soon as we see them. In the meantime, please post an intro in the Introductions section so we can greet you properly.

A couple of simple rules: Members may post one topic per week. (Your introduction doesn’t count toward that, nor do prayer requests in the prayer requests section.) Mods and Admins usually post fewer, but MAY if we think it necessary post more than one Topic per week if we think it’s needed. IMPORTANT: You may respond to topics as often as you like and we strongly encourage you to interact with your own topics and the topics of others as much as you like. We try to be a very civil group here, so please keep that in mind.

That said, Welcome. We’re glad to have you and look forward to your contributions to the group.

Blessings,
Cindy Skillman (admin)

Alexander,

For a recent discussion here on this topic, you may find this thread of interest:

ultra universalism

  1. What is the situation of unbelievers after death? They are lost & in need of salvation.
  2. How are they to be delivered? By the grace of God in the Lord Jesus Christ, through HIs blood & the Holy Spirit making them a new creation.
  3. When shall they be delivered? After they are in the lake of fire, if not before, as they receive the Word of Life.

More detailed answers are at the topic mentioned above.

God bless.

The situation of unbelievers is the same after death as before, meaning they need salvation. They may be delivered through the Lake of Fire as i think Rev 22.17 is a invite to folks still in the LOF. It is an invitation from the Spirit and the Bride to whosoever may partake from the Water of Life & it’s 5 verses from the end of the bible.

Keep in mind that the Bible shows that there is only one thing that destroys Death and that is Life. I believe the 2nd Death therefore must be the 2nd resurrection where the rest of the dead are raised.
