NO. 6 – STATED BEHAVIOR WHICH CONSTITUTES
VAIN WORSHIP, DEFILEMENT, GOD'S JUDGMENT,
EXCLUSION FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD, ANATHEMA,
VENGEANCE OF FIRE, THE LAST DAYS, BEING WITHOUT
GOD, THE LAKE OF FIRE, REJECTION FROM THE
HOLY CITY AND THE PLAGUES OF GOD
God has warned in over 11 different ways
of the destiny of all who continue to willingly
reject His word. In His word He has specified
over 76 ways of human conduct that will exclude
one from entering into His presence and receiving
the promise of eternal life. Anything that
excludes one from the presence of God must
be considered an "essential" doctrine
of God. We have no authority from God to
minimize, change or reject any behavior that
God clearly states will exclude peo- ple
from His presence and His everlasting kingdom.

God's grace will cover all our past, present
and future sins, if we will trust in Christ, repent of our sins, obey in baptism, profess Christ and continue faithful. If we have received the knowledge
of the truth but continue to willfully sin we cannot expect to escape the fiery
indignation of God (Heb. 10:26,27). Everyone will eventually stand before Christ (2 Cor.
5:10) and either be received into His kingdom (Mt. 25:34), or rejected forever (Mt. 25:46). All who are refused
entrance into God's kingdom will suffer everlasting
fire with the Devil and his angels (Mt. 25:41).
Any behavior that involves entering heaven
and avoiding hell must be considered "essential" doctrine.
