Mike, it has become plain to me that you really don't know Christ at all; can i lead you to Him?

Lo! He is here. Lo! He is there.
If any should say this to you, believe them not.
shazeep, you have a funny way of speaking for God, knowing how He will judge and mete out eternal justice, but then tell us we haven't the right to know who is saved or lost, according to the Final Judgment at the Throne of Christ.
You are effectively making yourself out to be a prophet with special insight and knowledge of the Holy One.
And yet, how little of the Holy One's Eternal Word you use.
A few verses here and there, "judge not", "forgive and be forgiven", "become like little children", "know them by their fruits", and etc. do not paint the entire picture of the Christian faith.
You who openly admits to failing all of God's commands on a regular basis and then assume to tell others how to know and perceive Christ?
Romans 2:21-24,
Quote:
21. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22. Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege
23. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24. For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

You're preaching how we should not do this or that, yet plainly tell us you fail God in all of His commandments on a regular basis, thereby declaring you are guilty of the very things you tell us not to be doing.
And such actions are, according to Holy Scripture, hypocritical.
You're so bent on getting the alleged beam out of our eyes, and yet have you not considered the beam that is in your own eye?
Muslims will be judged based on what they know of Christ as Spirit? What
Angel of Light told you that one?
Who in this world is able to bypass the cross, circumvent the Gospel, and still find saving eternal grace in the eyes of God? Christ tasted death for everyone, so that
THROUGH HIM all men and women might be saved.
God chooses the foolishness of preaching to save. How shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall a preacher preach, lest he be sent? And how shall the preacher be sent, lest he is willing to go? And how can the preacher even dream of going if all he can say to the Muslim is "I don't know if your saved or lost; God will judge you according to what you know about Jesus (Isa), according to the Qu'ran".
That's not a gospel. That's a "meh", you're on your own, kid. There is no love in your message at all.
The salvation of the world has been entrusted to the Church. We are the Body of Messiah, His active, acting agent and representative to all, in every tribe, tongue, and nation. There is no salvation outside of the Body of Christ. This Body alone is the temple of God through the Spirit. Whosoever sins we retain, they are retained.
We pray people in Christ's stead to be reconciled to God. No one accidentally fell backwards into the Kingdom of God one day, all on their own. This holy nation of royal priests has a job to do and a commission to do it.
You're so wary of saying "All ______ are lost". You don't want anyone to fill in the blank. Well here I go, filling in the blank:
ALL UNREGENERATE SINNERS ARE LOST.
If not, then someone somewhere out there didn't come short of the glory of God, and will make it just fine on their own. The blood of Jesus? No thanks, I've got enough light to make it to heaven all by myself.
How absurd! Get real. Get your head out of the clouds of your own making, and find a place of repentance if God will grant you one, and sacrifice this nonsense right out of you. Seriously.
