I Never Knew You!

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'” (Matthew 7:21-23)

If this is what happens to these people, what will happen to those who do even less? What will happen to those who are even worse?

What will happen to those who disobey God’s commands, and refuse to prophesy, refuse to cast out demons, and refuse to perform miracles in the name of Jesus? What will happen to those who refuse to heal the sick? What will happen to those who teach against these doctrines of Christ?

If the passage refers to counterfeit believers, then what will happen to those who are so much worse than they cannot even imitate counterfeit believers? What will happen to those who refuse to obey Christ and perform these works, and who even attack the people who do them?

What will happen to those who oppose atheists, heretics, murderers, prostitutes, homosexuals, abortionists, drug dealers, child rapists, and all kinds of sinners, but who refuse to condemn cessationists? And what will happen to those who honor cessationist theologians and preachers?

Why do you call yourself a Christian, but pretend that the Bible teaches the opposite of what is written? Why do you call him Lord, but refuse to do what he says?
