Do you find your need to judge
sometimes interferes with your judgement?
Nick.You believe that you are saved by water.
I believe I was given knowledge, but not saved untill the reward is given.Only the HS can give knowledge.
Knowledge means knowing God, and His Son.wakeup.
Hi WU,
It is best to obey scripture.
Knowledge can come by many sourcesThose not properly clothed [in christ in baptism] will be shunted out of the wedding feast.

Nick.Not clothed in baptism.
Knowledge does cover your nakedness.
Many are baptised but still naked,because of no knowledge.
Like the church of the laodicians.wakeup.
Hi WU,
You really need to put more faith in the teaching ability of the Spirit.
Ignorant fisherman became very wiseHi,
Jn10
5.John 10:12
But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.Hi,
The wolf scatters the sheep.
Fear is his weapon.1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.Hi,
Heb2
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Some here threaten the sheep with martyrdom.
Those in Christ need not fearHi ,
Jn 10
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.Hi,
Is 30
15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:Hi
Ps23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Hi,
John 10
Truly, truly I say to you, He who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he will s a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow because they do not know the voice of strangers. This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which he had been saying to them.
So Jesus said to them again, Truly , truly , I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. I am the good shepherd , and I know my own and my own know me; and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock with one shepherd.
For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from me , but I lay it down on my own initiative. I have authority to lay lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from my Father.
The good shepherd enters the door of the kingdom by his death. Now his death is the only door for us too. There is salvation in no other name. None who came before offered this salvation from sin.
We hear the voice of the Spirit and we respond. By believing and being baptised in his name we enter the flock. We are baptised into his death and he leads us by the Spirit we are given, and he guards and protects us and gives us the tools to fight.
He is faithful to us and gives us peace, comforts and revives us with more grace according to our needs.
We are attacked by the devil but the armour and the sword of the Spirit he gives us are effective. False teachers cannot lead us as their voice is not recognised as valid. Their teachings lead to death.
He dies by his choice, and goes to the spirits in prison to join them by faith also to the flock.
Hi,
There is only one door to the kingdom.
Be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the Holy Spirit.
Hi,
Jn 10.4
When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.
If you do not know the voice of the Spirit of Christ perhaps you are not one of his sheep.?
