I understand your troubles and questions. We all ask those questions one time or another. However, as I have said, and many others time and time again, the scriptures DO NOT TEACH A DISEMBODIED SOUL CAN ACCEPT CHRIST and Be SAVED.
I can't really say if God answered you or not, but IMO, God did not tell you, "Hey, you deny my Son, don't worry, you won't be burn forever for it."
That, is again, a fairy tale made up from the heart and desires of man.
It is not from the scriptures.
I don't believe in corporate visions, unfulfilled prophecy, or any unfinished work. I believe in the continuation of the gifts of the Spirit. I believe in modern miracles, healings, or gifts of the Spirit.
I believe God finished it all in Christ, and being in Him, means believing in Him, and it takes just that, to be a new creation, a new man, a regenerate with eternal life.
That isn't the argument. The arguement is that one cannot accept Christ after they have died physically. That is a fairy tale.
Where is the scripture for that?
All over the scriptures.....it would behoove you to search it out.
Many of us has exhaustively posted them.
Again...I have asked you this before...why are we debating?
That is simply not the case. The vast majority of "universalist" people and websites I've encountered teach that all mankind will be saved through Christ, not outside of Christ.
I also reponded because the "man" argument was a faulty.
1) Pink's argument that God is kind to his enemies but does not love His enemies.
You seem to believe everything a Christian does, but DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE SCRIPTURES TEACH THE DISEMBODIED SOUL CAN ACCEPT CHRIST and BE SAVED? That is the meat of the debate with UR.
Yes, post-mortem salvation (not salvation of disembodied souls though) is a central point of contention, not what is in the OP, which simply paints a false picture of what most universalists believe and then attacks that false picture. Any universalist who believes that one can be saved apart from faith Christ is refuted, but that leaves most univeralists unrefuted and not even addressed.
I believe that a resurrected person, not a "disembodied soul" can repent and turn to Christ, yes. And yes, I believe that God's mercy endures throughout the ages and does not terminate at death, resurrection, or especially at judgment.
However, as I have said, and many others time and time again, the scriptures DO NOT TEACH A DISEMBODIED SOUL CAN ACCEPT CHRIST and Be SAVED.
The bible doesn't address disembodied souls at all yet you are saying that a disembodied soul CANNOT accept Christ and be saved... so where in scripture does it talk about disembodied souls in the first place?
Moot point unless you can show the bible addresses it at all... right? The bible doesn't address how they pruned their trees back then either so it is useless to demand scripture to prove one way or the other!

I have and I disagree. It's only there when reading through the lense of what you already believe.
And this verse is generally offered up as absolute proof without any explanation needed.
But since when does "judgment" in scripture imply "you can no longer repent" or "you can repent but God won't ever respond". It doesn't. There are oodles of judgments, sentences from God, wrath of God ignited, in scripture followed by repentence and eventual (but not always immediate) mercy from God. So "judgment" does not imply "it's too late" but when read through the lense of ET that's all that most Christians can see in that word.
I am going to start a thread on death, resurrection and judgment re the timing of events and would like your thoughts.
Exactly and anyone with an open mind would have to agree with you on this.
No ...... Who is committing genocide?
