enter a torment which is eternal (Rev 14:11, Rev 20:15) unless and until they
repent. Eventually, from this default eternity, all are saved (Psalm 22:27, 119:91,
Isaiah 45:23, Rom 14:11, 1 Cor 2:11, 3:16, 12:3, 2 Cor 6:6, Phil 2:10-11, 1 Tim
2:4, 1 John 4:15), thus everything works out for the best in the end (Rom 8:28).
The saving confession of Christ is not 'forced' or insincere but is a sincere and
freely given confession (1 Cor 12:3).
Failure to be saved is the unforgivable sin whilst it lasts (1 John 5:16-18). This is,
for the unsaved Man, a sin of the flesh and of the basic spirit (Rom 1;20, 3:20, 1
John 1:7-8, 2:12, 3:9, 5:17-18, Rev 20:12-15). For the former Christian it was a sin
of and by the flesh (Rom 7:18, 1 John 1:7-8, 2:12, 3:9, 5:17-18) and can only be
committed in the flesh i.e. prior to death (1 Cor 5:5). For the devil spirit it is sin of
the devil spirit's spirit (Heb 1:7). For the unsaved angel ((Mark 12:25 (the dead
(like angels) rising for judgement - Rev 20:12-15), Luke 20:35-36 (not saved until
they become 'the children of the resurrection' at the resurrection post-judgement or
earlier i.e. saved), 1 Cor 6:3 'judge angels', 1 Pet 1:12 'look into', Rev 2:20)) it is a
sin of the angel's spirit (Heb 1:7, 1 John 1:7-8, 2:12, 3:9, 5:17-18). For the
Christian out-of-the-flesh, or the saved angel, whilst the free choice exists to chose
this sin it is never chosen as the saved spirit is perfect (1 John 1:7-8, 2:12, 3:9,
5:17-18). It is ‘forgiven’, only by its removal, by the act of salvation (2 Cor 5:17, 1
John 5:1) which involves the forgiveness of all other sins, all of which are
potentially and individually forgivable without the act of salvation being required
(Mat 9:2, 6, Mark 2:5, 9, Luke 5:20, 23, John 20:23, 1 John 1:9, 3:9). To be saved
after the Last Judgement involves an independent, solitary and sovereign decision
without the benefit being available of earthly Christian preaching (Heb 6:6, Rev
14:10-11). Christ however is always available wherever anybody is (Psalm 139:8).
Those who are saved and then reject salvation can repent and be saved at any time
(Psalm 139:8, Heb 6:6). No being can repent during the Last Judgement itself (1
Pet 4:18, Rev 20:15).
During the second resurrection process a vision is seen of the future whereby every
being is saved (1 Cor 12:3, Rev 5:13). They can, and all eventually do, repent out
of the lake of fire (Psalm 139:8, Rom 2:11, 1 Cor 12:3, Phil 2:11, Rev 5:13, 21:6).
Phillipians 2:10-11 refers to this. Those in Hell before the Last Judgement and
those in it after the Last Judgement, when it is cast into the second death or lake of
fire, can exit it only by faith in Jesus (Luke 16:24, Rev 21:6). Remember that
salvation is never any easier or more difficult for anyone at anytime, there is no
easy ‘cop out’ for late repenters (1 Pet 4:6). Any delay in salvation is always
tormenting (1 John 4:18).
