True, however statistically speaking, one can make reasonable assumptions that each person has a one in four chance of making it. Statistically speaking the sower is going to spread seed on ground that has 75% chance of eventually coming up with nothing.

Only if you assume the number of those of each type of ground is equal in number, which scripture never declares.

I never mentioned anything of "acceptance". But I can explain it Biblically. Just look at the time line when this is going to take place. We know this is an event that hasn't happened yet. It happens on the day of judgement. Newsflash. That group isn't going to an exclusive trinitarian. Unfortunately there will be oneness acts 2:38 bible thumpers are going to be in that group as well.

God isn't above using anyone for anything. As scripture says, God will separate the wheat from the tares in that day.

Need further explaination?

Come on now. If you are going to use the fact that folks can cast out devils and do miracles as a sign that God accepts them, then please explain this passage:

Matthew 7:21-23 "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. 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? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me , ye that work iniquity."

Your point is just as valid. I just used some of my newfound knowledge from a statistics class to make a point. lol

You should know by now that plain old common sense doesn't always work when it comes to Bible related stuff! :tiphat

Amen Amen Amen. Maybe I should spiritualize things. 2 packs of opened cigarettes and one pack of unopened cigarettes were left on the altar today. Third week in a row at least one person has been delivered from nicotene. If only self righteouse judgementalism was as easy to deliver, we just might have church. lol

Jakes and Parsley are NOT on the same side I am on. Jakes is a compromiser and Parsley is a false prophet! They may be on YOUR side but don't class them with me.

Rico, your nic also has a slogan that says Preacher Hater/Jesus Lover. Do you really hate preachers? If so, why may I ask?
