Appointed to die once

 

2 Corinthians 5 King James Version 5 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens

We're going to look at Whitney and Elvis below because there are some corrections that need to be made. It's good for famous people or celebrities to have understanding so that they don't end up perishing. December 25, 2021 11:44 a.m.

Appointed to die once

There is a lot of confusion in what happens when a person dies. When Jesus went to people's places where for instance there was a dead child or dead adult he would tell them fear not for they are only sleeping. For instance he raised Lazarus from the dead. So you would say well once the body dies and decays how could you have a person come back to life? Lazarus was in the grave three +  days and he was decaying and yet God was able to restore him. With God all things are possible but God is Holy. Holiness is not exercised the way humans think. But he did this to show for those who love God how God is loving back. And I've covered this subject before but since I came up with an interesting link being a story and I did ponder well what about the people that never heard of Christ under the New testament of course. What about the people in Noah's day because the book of Genesis has only eight people that were saved. For instance today a lot of people are going to die and babies are going to be aborted and a lot of people are going to be born too around the world. Where do all those people go especially if they lived in Nations under other religions. Well Jesus said he is the only door and while I can come up with reasons or synopsis concerning scenarios it might not be the whole scope of the answer. For instance Christ blamed the Pharisees of shutting the door to people to enter the kingdom of heaven. He said they don't enter and  they don't let others enter. So probably if there are dictators and evil people as well as Nations or governments or people's who stop the gospel there will be levels of judgment that only God is able to do by his tribunal. It's a great white throne judgment where everyone will appear or probably most everyone. So I will give you a link to an interesting story.

What Happens When We Die - Different Religious Beliefs on Death

Some research on Whitney Houston and Elvis Presley

"Some have even questioned if she loved God or was a believer in Christ. I never had a spiritual discussion with Whitney, although we did talk about church. She and her mother both learned that I was a Baptist minister when Whitney brought her family with her to the White House in 1990 to meet President George H. W." Feb 22, 2012

By Joe Watkins

 

Does Whitney Houston believe in God?

"Wherever I go, it doesn't matter, I always tell the world of the love that I have for God and Jesus," Houston told MTV of her faith. She even admitted that she had reservations about being a pop singer rather than a gospel one, but concluded that she was able to bring God's word to a broader audience as a superstar."

"Well, whatever we may think, she is with the Lord now. And I quite agree with Tyler Perry’s excellent comments at her funeral — “‘If God be for you, who can be against you?’ …God was for her and she is resting, singing with the angels.” Feb 16, 2012

Very interesting as said, Tyler Perry.

As a true Christian it is written that it is enmity with God to befriend the world James 4:4 and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. From what is written above about Whitney Houston it seems reassuring that she was a believer and I truly would hope God was merciful and saved her. Even if I have my doubts because Jesus did say he will tell people he never knew them on the day of judgement I still would hope that she be saved. It's a sad situation which happened with her and even Elvis Presley.

Now I once "assumed" that Elvis Presley was a Baptist at Birth.

"Elvis was baptized, undoubtedly, as a child by a Trinitarian Pentecostal preacher in Tupelo, Miss. He was re-baptized, reportedly, as a young teenager by a Oneness Pentecostal preacher in Memphis. He also was baptized, posthumously, by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

"Elvis works at various jobs to help support himself and his parents. The Presley-Smith family remains close-knit, and Elvis and his family attend the Assembly of God Church".

Attention celebrities and famous people

I'm reaching out to famous people or if you're a celebrity to really think where you will spend eternity because even the biblical Lord Jesus Christ said that it's a straight gate and many will be told they are workers of iniquity and he doesn't know them on the day of judgment. Scripture says there is a way that appears right to a man or a woman but in the end it is the way of death. You die once the physical death and then you die a second time being the spiritual death. If that happens you end up in hell which does exist unfortunately. It's easy to shrug off and take things for granted because scripture does say to befriend the world is enmity with God. You can't have it your way because God is not mocked as God is Holy forever and blessed forever. God's word says God is no respecter of persons but he's merciful and graceful. You know the Messiah said that you cannot serve two masters as you go despise one and love the other. Let me explain this to you. You can't have or claim to be a Christian believer in Christ and also have a foot in the world of sin. You can't serve two kingdoms. You either serve the true God or you serve the world that is hostile to the true God. You can't serve two masters. It never ever works. Because if you disobey the Vine the Lord said the branches would be cut off and thrown into the fire. All liars will have their part in the Lake of fire. People see God as this pushover so loving that he just accepts all manners of sins. One brother in Christ who used to be a preacher in a biblical Church said that God loved the people that are in hell right now but they didn't love him the proper way. So you need to really ponder where will you spend eternity if you were to die today. Are you sure you are saved. Are you abusing Grace. Are you abiding in the Vine or are you fulfilling the lust of the flesh and putting Christ to an open shame. Because the real way is a straight Gate. You see scripture doesn't say that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom in vain. So for example the information above concerning Whitney Houston and Elvis Presley is interesting. Whitney professed to love God and Christ. It is written that she did spend time reading her Bible. But that's not enough because you have to be a doer of the word. Let me explain. A person can take out an automotive manual and read it and then go do the physical work and be totally lost and totally destroy an automobile. Elvis Presley on the other hand seemed to be re baptized more than once. That tells me that he was trying to find assurance and that he felt convicted of something. That's in a sense a good sign. But it's public information of the toxicity in that was reported associated with him. Just the story of the hairdresser that he gave is devastating. Now there are true Christians that will condemn both of these people and say no they strayed and they weren't saved. I would hope that they are saved but I know it's a straight gate and will leave it up to God. We can say that both of them had gifts that were very special.

From the lifestyle Elvis lived despite that he lived the life of vanity and a life being called The King when the king is Jesus Christ is a bit troubling. You have to speak to True biblical Christians and ask them their opinion. True baptism is a serious thing. Was he truly saved I don't know. But I would hope so. It just doesn't seem right. 1:44 p.m. December 26th 2021

So when we now alive in the body have gifts that God has given us are we utilizing those for Jesus and his ministry or are we squandering and abusing the talents that God has given us. You need to get serious if you're a celebrity or somebody who's famous. Because you don't want to perish unless you really do want to. Christians please pray for celebrities and famous people.

Now I never got into salvation here or baptism. But it is important to know if you truly are saved. And of course you should be saved before you are baptized. What does the Bible say about salvation is here

I strongly recommend Believers Baptism right after salvation.
