Post Mortem Evangelism - Did Jesus preach Second
Chance to the Dead?
First Word
I have FAMILY, neighbors and friends; some of which are
Protestants, Catholics, and Buddhist as well as many Atheist; my only motive in
this Word Study is to address the Second Chance Doctrine
based on The
Book; precept upon precept and line upon line[1]
with no motives or agenda to throw rocks at any denomination or person that
supports the Second
Chance theory. The question presented is;
CAN
A PERSON BE SAVED AFTER THEIR DEATH?
Can you do Penitence
for a loved one that has died?
Is Baptism
for the dead a valid option.
Is reincarnation
a valid doctrine?
Are Prayers for the dead scriptural?
Do we get a Do Over?
Post-Mortem Evangelism
Post-Mortem Evangelism asks us to
reshuffle the deck for a new understanding of death. PME contends that those who DO NOT BELIEVE the Gospel
Message during their lifetime will be given another opportunity to believe
after they die and thus be saved; PME. The supporters torture John 5:25 until it confesses this thinking. John’s letter was about being spiritually dead, hearing the gospel
massage and being made spiritually
alive.[2]
John 5:25 – The
dead will hear the Gospel and live
25 Truly,
truly, I say to you, AN
HOUR is
coming, and is now here, when THE (spiritually) DEAD
will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear WILL (spiritually) LIVE. ESV
LISTEN: In the actual
text Jesus is speaking about THE HOUR that was to
come, the time when He would be crucified and then spend three days in a
compartment of hell known as Paradise preaching to those who from “all time” who had died in the friendship
of God. Remember Jesus taught that He
was the ONLY way to God the Father and
these in Paradise lived before Jesus was born and had never even heard about
the Gospel
Message; this was a ONE TIME EVENT. The Book is absolutely SILENT regarding any
opportunity to hear the gospel after death.
LISTEN: IF the fate of a Christian is NOT fixed at death,
then that opens the door to the thinking that our salvation may not be fixed; a
Believer might end up being lost after death. Those in Torment in
Hell and those in Paradise already had their
fate fixed. It’s in the Book
Exclusivism
Exclusivism is the view that you must
believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and it is ONLY through His work on the cross that
Salvation is obtained.[3] It teaches that God’s perseverance with
unbelievers will end
at their physical death.[4] Exclusivism
teaches One
Way – One Truth – One Life.
The Last Call Doctrine is that you
must make your “Free
Will” choice in this lifetime.
Sleep/Wake Gap Doctrine
The Death-Judgment GAP is the belief
that there is a time gap of unknown
duration between the time you die and the judgment; this is where you are given
a second chance for salvation. Those
who embrace this, use the scripture from the Book of Daniel
that says “those who SLEEP
in
the dust of the earth; (sleep meaning A GAP OF TIME)
shall AWAKE, some to everlasting life, and some to
shame and everlasting contempt.”
Daniel 12:2 - Time Gap between sleep and waking
2 And many of those who sleep in
the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and
some to shame and everlasting contempt. (ESV)
The Book says and, you must
let this sink into your spirit; when the life giving breath (Ruah) departs from the man and returns to
God, the man goes back to the dirt from which he was formed.[5] All his plans have now perished, there is NO working, planning, knowledge or wisdom.[6] He can no longer think, he cannot praise God;
he is silent, not a word can be heard.[7]
He is not aware of anything, he knows nothing, he has no emotions of love, hate
or envy; it has all perished.[8]
Did you see it? There is NO second Chance GAP
Universalism
Universalism is the
doctrine of universal reconciliation, also known as universal
salvation. This doctrine teaches that every human soul will
ultimately be reconciled to God because of God’s divine love and mercy; even
after they CROSS OVER. This
makes a remarkable shift; you not only get a second chance for salvation, but
you get a fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, etc.
until finally God triumphs over ALL,
in their stubborn resistance to the Gospel Message.
The Book says that after we CROSS OVER we will be
judged for all the things we have done while “IN THE BODY” whether good or evil.[9]
Works do not save us, but they do
determine our REWARDS in heaven or
the level of PUNISHMENT in Hell.[10] TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH WILL BE REQUIRED.[11]
EDITORIAL: Much will be required especially for Oprah Winfrey, for whom much has been given;[12]
her religion and church diminishes the God of the Bible. She is clear to insist that when she speaks of
God that she means no specific god and entails no particular theological
commitments. This is the Blind leading the
Blind… Millions
of Souls will be lost because she has led them to the lake of fire.
The Book gives an example
where there were two men that had died; one went immediately to Torment the other immediately to Paradise.
The one tormented in Hell wanted someone to CROSS BACK OVER to warn
his family, but God said NO.[13] If someone could get a SECOND CHANCE for salvation,
then there would be no reason for Jesus to be sacrificed on the cross.
The doctrine of Hell is the most
gut-wrenching, heart-breaking doctrine in the Christian faith. Universalism is a false doctrine. Even in the Apocrypha; 2 Clement says, “For after we
shall have departed out of this world, we shall no longer be able to confess
our sins or repent in the other.”[14]
There is NO Universal Reconciliation; there is NO Second Chance!
Reincarnation
Reincarnation is the
religious or philosophical concept that the soul or spirit, after biological death, begins a
new life in a new body; you get many second chances to
get it right.
Reincarnation is a word derived
from Latin, meaning literally, "entering the flesh again". The Greek equivalent corresponds to the
English phrase "TRANSMIGRATION
OF THE SOUL"
They refer to being "born again" which is a universal process that
gives rise to the cycle of death and rebirth, governed by “Karma”.
Every living being's soul transmigrates
(recycles) after death, carrying the seeds
of Karmic
impulses from the life just
completed, into another life and a lifetime of karmas.
Birth is not a beginning and death is not an end.
After death, the life as we know now moves
on to another form of life based on the merits and demerits it accumulated in its
current life.
The path to becoming a “SUPREME
SOUL” is to practice non-violence and
be truthful.
As worn-out garments are shed by the
person; worn-out bodies are shed by the dweller within the body; new bodies are
“put on” by the dweller, like
garments.
Abrahamic
religions such as Christianity, and Islam do not believe that
individuals reincarnate, however in Judaism, followers of the Kabbalah
do believe in reincarnation. Wikipedia
Just to drive home a point; when the
Disciples saw Moses
and Elijah
appear on the Mount of transfiguration, they were still identified as they were
before; Moses
and Elijah;[15] they
had not been reincarnated into different bodies.
When Jesus was resurrected from the dead,
He was still identified in His same form, not a reincarnation of somebody else,
although I must point out, that all of them did have
glorified bodies that were
not subject to our dimensional laws.
DO OVER: God has provided us FULL salvation through His Son Jesus Christ; we don’t need
another DO
OVER LIFE to try to FIX
our sins.[16]
We are destined to die once and then the
judgment; it’s through the JUDGMENT[17]
that the Kingdom of God will be ushered in.[18] The Book says that when we leave our body, we are present
with the Lord.[19]
So there is NO Reincarnation; there is NO “DO OVER”; there is NO Second Chance.[20]

Progression
between
ESTATES and KINGDOMS
ü
The
First Estate –
Spirit -
A place where all humankind existed as spirit children of the “Heavenly
Father”.
ü
The
Second Estate – Mortal –
Those who proved themselves worthy in the pre-existence spirit world were
eventually allowed a mortal existence here on earth and given physical bodies.
ü
The
Third Estate –
Heavenly – Those who are tested and tried
on earth will after their death enter the heavenly estate.
Salvation for
the DEAD is the system by means of which those who
“die without
a knowledge of the gospel” may gain such
knowledge in the spirit world and
then, following the vicarious performance of the necessary ordinances, become
heirs of salvation on the same basis as though the gospel truths had been
obeyed in mortality. (When
they were alive).
Salvation for
the DEAD is limited expressly to those who do not
have opportunity in this life to accept the gospel, but who would have taken
the opportunity had it come to them.
THREE DEGREES OF GLORY: Every person on earth is living a set of laws
that will have a bearing on what level of Glory they will inherit in eternity.
1)
Celestial
kingdom: The celestial kingdom is of the HIGHEST of the three degrees of glory
and is the permanent residence of God the Father and Jesus Christ. It will be the residence of those who have
been righteous, accepted
the teachings of Jesus Christ, and made and lived
up to all of the required ordinances and covenants.
Individuals may accept and receive these ordinances and covenants during their mortal
lives. For those who did not have the
opportunity while living, (when
they die)
they will have
the opportunity in the post-mortal spirit world, where they can
accept ordinances
performed
on their behalf by Latter-day Saints in temples. All children
who die before the age of eight automatically
inherit the celestial kingdom without the
reception of ordinances. (None of this is in the Book)
2)
Terrestrial
kingdom
is the MIDDLE of the three degrees
of glory. It is believed by Latter-day Saints to correspond to the "bodies
terrestrial" and "glory of the moon" mentioned by
the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:39-41. Those who will inhabit the terrestrial kingdom
include those who lived respectably but "were
blinded by the craftiness of men" and thus REJECTED the fullness of
THE GOSPEL of Jesus Christ
when it was presented to them during their mortal lives. (while they were alive) It also includes persons who rejected the "testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it" in
the spirit world and those who "are not valiant
in the testimony of Jesus" after having received it. Those who inherit the terrestrial kingdom
"receive
of the presence of the Son, but not the fullness of the Father”. (Nowhere in the Book)
3)
Telestial
kingdom is the LOWEST
of the three degrees of glory. Those
who will inhabit the telestial kingdom include those "who received NOT the gospel of Christ, nor
the testimony of Jesus."
It will also include "liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers,
and whosoever loves and makes a lie." Because of their refusal to accept Jesus as
their Savior, these individuals will remain in spirit prison for 1000 years during the millennial reign of
Christ. After
the 1000 years, the individuals will be resurrected and receive an
immortal physical body and be assigned to the telestial kingdom. Individuals in the telestial kingdom will be servants of God,
but "where
God and Christ dwell they cannot come”. – Wikipedia -
Those who have a fair and just opportunity to accept the
gospel in this life and WHO DO NOT DO IT, but who then
do accept it when they (have died and) hear it in the
spirit world will go NOT to the CELESTIAL (kingdom) , but to the TERRESTRIAL kingdom.
(None of this is in the Book)
Mark Twain was right this is Chloroform in print
1 Corinthians
15:39-41 – Sun Moon Stars different kind of glory
39 All flesh is not
the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another
flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also CELESTIAL BODIES (heavenly),
and
BODIES TERRESTRIAL (earthly): but the glory
of the celestial is one, and the glory
of the terrestrial is another. KJV
The Book says that once we die it’s all over. For the Believer, he is present with the Lord[21]
and the unbeliever goes directly to the grave and awaits judgment; pre-judging
has already occurred. [22]
There is only ONE kingdom of God - There is NO Second
Chance
Prayers for the Dead
The supporting scripture for praying for
salvation for someone that is dead comes from Timothy’s letter when he writes
about his friend Onesiphorus that is “assumed”
to be dead[23]
and states he hopes he will find favor at the judgment. (Onesiphorus may or may not be
dead)
Give me a break! Paul has just
expressed that there were some that were UNFAITHFUL and had turned
away from the ministry and he named them; Phygelus and Hermogenes[24]
and then he continues by lifting up those who had remained FAITHFUL with a praise to the Lord; “May the Lord
grant Onesiphorus mercy at the resurrection”. He was NOT Praying for salvation, but was Praising
that “special
blessings”
would be given to the FAITHFUL; especially Onesiphorus.
Prayers for the Dead are a USELESS pagan ritual; there is NO Second Chance!
2
Timothy 1:16-18 - Prayer for rewards for Onesiphorus; not salvation
16 May the Lord show special
kindness to Onesiphorus and all his family because he often visited and
encouraged me. He was never ashamed of me because I was in chains.
17 When he came to Rome, he
searched everywhere until he found me.
18 May the Lord show him special
kindness on the day of Christ’s
return. And you know very well how helpful he was in Ephesus.
(NLT)
Baptism for the Dead
Superstitious customs of proxy
baptisms have always existed; someone could offer to be baptized on behalf of
another, or the graves of someone could be baptized.
Those who practice this rite view baptism
as an ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT to enter the
kingdom of God, and therefore practice baptism for the dead to offer it by
proxy to those who died without the opportunity to receive it. (This is a teaching
that Salvation is Jesus Christ PLUS
baptism.)
The LDS
Church; the Mormons are the best known for the BAPTISM FOR THE DEAD doctrine of
which they have practiced since 1840. It is practiced in their secret temple
rites according to the “Doctrine and Covenants”.
Mormons emphasize that the family succession of baptized persons MUST form an unbroken chain back
to Adam. They must research their own genealogy
and for this reason you will find Ancestry.com advertised on TV.
The doctrine of “Vicarious Baptism” is a way to save someone who has already died. Those who have died may
choose to accept or reject the
baptisms done on their behalf. Wikipedia
The ONLY supporting
scripture is when Paul, debating this pagan point, speaks about people being
baptized on behalf of the dead; saying that if they did not believe in the
resurrection; then why did they baptize for the dead? He was making fun of the pagan
tradition. There is nothing in The Book that says that the early Christians baptized for
the dead. –
NOTHING – ZIP – NADA -
Metaphorically speaking; the word BAPTIZE means to “IDENTIFY WITH”; being identified with Jesus Christ in
His death and resurrection, salvation is Jesus plus nothing else.
Baptism for the dead is a USELESS pagan ritual; there
is NO Second Chance Salvation!
1 Corinthians 15:29 – Pagan tradition Baptized
on behalf of dead
29 Otherwise, what do people mean
by being
BAPTIZED ON
BEHALF OF THE DEAD? If the dead are not
raised at all, why
are people baptized on their behalf? (ESV)
Baptism for
the Living
Baptism is a change from one state
to another, like a civilian putting on a soldier uniform; we put on the
garments of Christ, we are baptized into Christ; we are identified in Christ.[25]
ü
Baptism is death
and burial
to our past life with CHANGE to a new
resurrected life in Christ.
ü
Baptism is
something that we do, but it is also something that has been done to us; CHANGE.
The Book says that a public confession and commitment is required. When you fall in love with someone; you act
different, what’s in your heart will overflow your mouth, you want everyone to
know; otherwise you’re really not in love…
Love
is the way you ACT.
For sure, Faith is something you have, but
it is expressed through your actions or you don’t really have the faith; if you have the
light, you will let it shine.[26]
IF YOU DO
NOT CONFESS IT… YOU DO NOT POSSESS IT.
Baptism in water is not
necessary for Salvation; otherwise the thief on the cross was lost.[27] Our salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ
alone; Jesus
Christ plus nothing else. While baptism is a commandment, it is neither a requirement nor a guarantee of a person receiving the gift of eternal life.
About 40 years
ago I was shocked when my pastor was preaching on baptism and spoke to the
method being used; he said, “I’ll use a WATER GUN if that’s all I have;” he was implying
that what really counted was the work of the Holy Spirit that “CHANGED” the heart on the inside. The act of baptism must be accompanied by a heart attitude of faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul
gives us an example of heart attitude. “A
man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely
outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew
if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, BY THE SPIRIT, not by the written code.”[28]
Purgatory
Purgatory
is a state or place in Roman Catholicism and
other Christian doctrine in which, those who have died in the grace of God EXPIATE their
sins by suffering… Webster;
Any
state or place of temporary punishment, expiation or remorse.
Expiate: to make satisfaction or atonement; to
make amends or reparation for wrong doing; to pay the penalty or suffer.
Catechism - Catholic Church; “All who die in
God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified are indeed assured
of their eternal salvation, but after death they
undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to
enter the joy of heaven”
Second Vatican Council: “The truth has
been divinely revealed that sins are followed by punishments. God’s holiness and justice inflict them. Sins must be
expiated. This may be
done on this earth through the sorrows, miseries and trials of this life and,
above all, through death. Otherwise the expiation must be made in the NEXT LIFE
through fire and torments or purifying punishments”.
Purgatory
is
a place in Catholic
doctrine designated as a place of
purification, not a place of punishment; however the purification process does
involve mental and physical anguish which includes an intense, excruciating
painful “purifying
fire”. The time in purgatory
can be from a few hours to a few thousand years. The supporting scripture uses the verse in 1 Corinthians 3:15 to point to the doctrine of Purgatory. “If any man's work shall be BURNED, he shall
suffer loss: but he himself shall be SAVED”.
In the Book, Paul is talking about laying the spiritual
foundation for the church at Corinth; the foundation of Christ which he laid
that others would build on. He said that if someone builds on a different
foundation, one other than that of Jesus Christ; their building or efforts or
works
would be burned
up in fire; but they would NOT lose their
salvation.[29]
1
Corinthians 3:10-15 – Different
foundation; Works will be burned up
10 Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the
foundation like an expert
builder. Now
others are building on it. But whoever is building on this
foundation must be very careful.
11 For no one can lay any foundation other than
the one we already have—Jesus Christ.
12 Anyone who
builds on that foundation may use a
variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw.
13 But on the judgment day,
FIRE will reveal what kind of
work each builder has done. THE FIRE WILL SHOW IF A PERSON’S WORK HAS ANY VALUE.
14 If the work
survives, that builder will receive a REWARD.
15 But if the WORK is burned up, the builder will suffer great LOSS.
THE BUILDER WILL BE SAVED, but like someone barely
escaping through a wall of flames.
(NLT)
Fire is symbolic of purification; as the intense heating and melting of metals
and the pouring off of the waste; the dross.
The Good
Book says this purification will
take place on that day; which is the
“Day of the
Lord” spoken of by John the revelator; the
return of Christ. This is
talking about good works and heavenly rewards, NOT about purging
sin so man can be saved; we are appointed
once to die and then after that
is the judgment.[30]
The
Tradition of Purgatory is NOT FOUND in scripture;
there is NO Second Chance Salvation!
Jesus
– Second Chance
There
are those that believe that Jesus will go to Hell and give people a
second chance to accept the Gospel, and they use the Book
to point out the scripture where Jesus went to Hell[31] to a place called Paradise, preached and then
everybody got saved.[32] Hell was divided into two sections; Torment[33]
and Paradise.
Paradise was also known as “Abraham’s
Bosom”, which at one time was located in Hades and held those in the
“FRIENDSHIP” of God; the
Godly saints of all times. These are
people who had sought after God’s heart, but had never heard the Gospel
message. Paradise
is a better place to be than on earth, but it’s not as good as it’s going
to get.
When Jesus died;
He went to Abraham’s Bosom and preached for three days[34]
telling them, “I am the way,
and the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through me”.[35] Those in
Paradise heard this message FOR
THE FIRST TIME and they accepted this Good
News. Jesus then took all of
Paradise and those in it to Heaven; where it is now.[36]
The preaching in
the compartment of Hell known as Paradise CANNOT be repeated again because it’s not there
anymore. When the Paradise compartment was removed
and taken to heaven, Hell was enlarged to receive more Un-believers & Make believers; if someone is
in hell now, they are just plain lost.
There is NO Second
Chance
The Take Away
If we always have a second chance then why obey
God at all?
The Book says we will be judged by the deeds done while
in the body… This would not be true if we got a second chance when we were dead
and out of the body. This is a slippery
slope as you would then have to embrace reincarnation to get another body to be
judged in.
The Book says that when the
Rich man died and went to Hell and the Beggar died and went to Abraham’s Bosom
or Paradise; they had already been judged and their destination had been FIXED at their death.[37]
The Book says NOW is the time of
God’s favor, NOW is the day of
Salvation; once we die we are judged.[38] Even ONE SIN would
keep us out of heaven. Jesus atoned
for ALL
of our sins, past, present and future; ALL of our sins… and has given us
almost innumerable chances in this lifetime on earth TO ACCEPT His payment on
the cross, to deliver us from the wrath of God.
Two Deaths: There are
actually two deaths; Physical and Spiritual, but the believer only
experiences the first;[39]
the physical death; the Un-believer and the Make-believer experiences both. [40]
Books are opened and
