There are many who claim to be Christians that will be left behind when the rapture happens because they refuse to obey God's instructions. There are a lot of people who cry we are all close to the end and we need to get along with anyone who names the name of Jesus. This dangerous and false teaching is why many will be left behind - even those who believe they will be taken.
Messiah Yeshua strongly warns about those who thought they were His but will be rejected by Him:
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.
There are those who are falsely teaching that it does not matter what you do that you will be raptured if you name the name of THE LORD. The bible does not state anyone who names the name of Jesus will be saved but those who calls on Him as LORD - BIG DIFFERENCE.
Even satan knows Jesus is the Messiah but he is not saved (nor can he ever be) satan has knowledge of Yeshua as Messiah but does not call on Him as LORD of his life.
Having someone as your Lord says you will OBEY that person's rules- think of like a landlord where you agree to obey the rental agreement.
It does not matter what apostle or bible passage you quote (or misquote) if it does not line up with ALL of scripture then either scripture is wrong or your interpretation is wrong.
Many love the easy believism and want to accept wolves and demons into their fellowships - and then turn around and wonder why there is so much apostasy. Both Messiah Yeshua and the apostle Paul warned of the wolves that will infect fellowships and Christianity in the end times yet the people love the wolves and demons as long as "everyone gets along" in spite of the heretical and false doctrines those wolves and demons bring into the fellowship.
Messiah Yeshua called out the pharisees that were teaching lies mixed in with the truth. Yahweh sent prophets and watchmen to warn the people to stop the false worship of Him and the people wanted to continue to worship Yahweh THEIR way and ignored - and actually put to death - the prophets of Yahweh. It is the very same today - you have those that love the demons and wolves that stroke their egos and gives a false sense of fellowship when they are actually leading people to hell with their false doctrines.
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
There will be MANY MANY people who are watching for the rapture and who believe they are doing things "for Jesus" yet He will reject them because of their disobedience. Those who teach others they can disobey and still be saved will suffer the same pentalty as the wicked because they failed to warn them of the danger.
I'm very concerned with those who love to worship with wolves and demons without warning anyone about false teachings and false doctrines. Their concern is "for the lost because they will see people cvalling each other out", etc. - that is their concern instead of concern whether or not truth is being taught. It does believers no good to "accept Jesus" if the continue in their sins (because of the demonic Once Saved Always Saved doctrine) and continue down the broad road to hell. Those who follow the lies that are throughout "christianity" will be held accountable because they made a statement of faith. Messiah Yeshua calls the false teachers who teach false doctrines pharisees and says those those false teachers "convert" are twice the child of hell that those false teachers are.
Matthew 23
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Those who refuse to speak up against false teachings and false teachers "for the sake of unity within the body" are just as guilty for the souls that are misled by the lies of the wolves. If someone believes the lies of "doctor" Andy Woods that they will be raptured even if they were backsliding and that person does not repent thinking that it doesn't matter - if that person is left behind then their soul is not just on Andy Woods, it is also on the person who did not warn them when Yahweh said to warn them.
Not everyone is instructed to warn the sheep - but those that are are doing as Yahweh instructs and they should not be judged for it by those who are not. Yahweh gives different gifts and talents to people and everyone who is TRULY saved needs to work together - which includes keeping demons and wolves out of the fellowships. As it is now, there are numerous "fellowships" that are so demon infested and nobody is keeping the demons out --- you have people who whore after false prophets, lying signs, spread false prophecies, into astrology, etc. yet for the "sake of unity" and "fellowship" nothing is being done to protect the others from the false teachings, prophecies, etc. Not all wolves are as obvious as a Joel Osteen or a Benny Hinn - some have better fitting sheep clothes than they do. Some are obviously heretics while others take more discernment to see they are not a sheep. Just because they have better sheep clothes does not make them less of a wolf!
I am so done with the fake church and fake "christians" - most who are watching for the rapture and will be extremely unhappy and surprised when the door is shut behind them and Yeshua has cast them into the tribulation because they did not repent of their sins - sin being defined as disobedience to Yahweh's instructions which are found throughout the bible.
If you are believing the lies that Christians do not have to obey Yahweh - you really need to read and understand what Messiah Yeshua taught (and not the words of Paul twisted to mean the opposite of what He taught)
I have broken these verses down before although it needs to be done again:
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.
There are people who will call Messiah Yeshua 'Lord' but not all of them will enter the kingdom of heaven. This contradicts the false teaching that all you need to do is recite a prayer or "ask Jesus into your heart" and you will always be saved (and therefore raptured)Matthew 7
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?
Many of these people who call Messiah Yeshua Lord and will not enter the kingdom (and therefore obviously not raptured) and not carnal or backsliding "christians" - many of them are in ministry and doing things "for Him" including [false] prophecies, casting out demons, and other things (like making youtube videos? and predicting rapture dates?)
Matthew 7
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
This should scare many more professing "christians" than it does. MANY people who call Messiah Yeshua 'Lord' and are doing ministry "for Him" will be REJECTED by Him because they did not obey what Yahweh instructed them to do. Verse 21 says they are rejected for not doing the will of the Father and verse 23 calls whis INIQUITY. Strongs definition of iniquity states it is a violation of the law either due to ignorance or contempt of it.
Those who teach that just "naming the name of Jesus" is enough and "anyone who calls on Jesus" is saved does NOT understand what the scripture says. Calling on the name of THE LORD means you follow / OBEY Him. Those who believe that they do not have to obey the Shepherd are not sheep - they are GOATS. Sheep follows the Shepherd while goats are off doing their own thing. Goats have their own agenda while sheep listen to and obey the Shepherd.
Sheep follow the Shepherd Goats have their own agenda and do not follow
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.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
