One passage they twist to try and use to "prove" that self-professing "christians" will not end up in hell is in John:
John 10
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
This passage clearly states that Yeshua's sheep KNOW HIS VOICE and FOLLOW HIM. In other verses, it is clear that Yeshua's sheep OBEY TORAH. Those that honestly follow Torah (not the false Christians) will never be plucked out of Yeshua's hand because they are obeying Him and following Him. False Christians do NOT know Yeshua's voice - they are following wolves in the pulpit so they are NOT in Yeshua's hand and they will listen to and follow any wolf that tickles their ears and tells them what they want to hear.
John14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Wolf "pastors" also love to twist the words of the apostle Paul to back up their false teachings. Peter says they do so at the risk of their own destruction. It amazes me that these wolves and their followers have no problem twisting the words of Paul and following that even though the twisting of the passages contradicts what Messiah Himself clearly taught. They have made Paul into their Messiah instead of following what Messiah Yeshua clearly said --- Remember: Yeshua's sheep know HIS voice and follow HIM - not the words of Paul they twisted to justify their rebellion. Peter said they twist the words of Paul to follow the error of the wicked and fall from their stedfastness (of obedience)
2 Peter 3
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Messiah Yeshua clearly taught that there are those that believe they are Christians that He will reject because they do not obey Yahweh and are lawless. He also stated the road is NARROW and FEW find it - not wide and broad to let anyone who claims to be a Christian entrance to heaven.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. G458
Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia) :In verse 21, Yeshua said the kingdom of heaven is for those that obey Yahweh. You obey Yahweh by following His instructions in the Torah. The Torah is the first five books of the bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
Verse 22 there are MANY who will say on that day (the rapture when they are left behind?) who claims to be Christians and doing things "for Jesus" including prophecy in His name, cast out demons, and doing other things - such as making youtube videos, feeding the poor, etc.
Verse 23 Yeshua will tell those that were doing things "for Him" that they are NOT His sheep and He never knew them because they worked iniquity. Iniquity by definition (above) means they held Yahweh's Torah, His law, in contempt and knowingly and willingly violated it.
Even if 'That Day' is not the rapture, it is clear that those who are false Yeshua is speaking about will be left behind when He comes for His bride. I'm not at all sure that the rapture will be noticed for what it is (more on that in another post)
Another very strong warning by Messiah is the parable of the ten virgins: five wise that had oil and five who did not have enough oil. Yahweh showed me about this parable a few years ago. The five wise had enough oil because they were abiding in the nourishment of the root - Messiah Yeshua Himself - and had the Holy Spirit - the oil - because they abided in Yeshua and obeyed,
The five foolish were saved although their grafts did not hold and they were cut off even though they thought they were still part of the olive tree and did not realize they had been cut off. For those who know about grafting - sometimes when you graft a branch, it takes and the graft is stronger than the rest of the branch. Sometimes the graft holds for awhile and then fails and the branch slowly dies while gaining a little nourishment from the root. Other times the graft fails quickly and completely (if you know the bible, you can see how this correlates with the parable of the soils)
The apostle Paul spoke of being grafted in branches in Romans - wild olive branches among the native branches both partaking of the same root - which is Messiah Yeshua - and being filled with oil from the olives which symbolizes the Holy Spirit. First I will post the parable followed by what the apostle Paul wrote about it.
Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Next what the apostle Paul said. Ask Yahweh to show you the connection if you don't quite understand it. Yeshua is called The Root - which is what the branches are grafted into.
Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Romans 11
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
The time is very short and Yeshua is about to come to take His bride. Those who are not living in obedience to Him are NOT His sheep and will be left behind. Those who refuse to repent and those who are following wolves will be left behind. Do not deceive yourself - if you are not living in accordance to what Yahweh says, you do not belong to Yeshua no matter how many "things" you claim to be doing "for Him" REPENT NOW before it is too late.
