Help me with this. I was listening to a program on WUOT at 10 pm last Saturday night about this Pentacostal preacher saying that Hell does not exist and everyone is going to heaven. He got into trouble over this and was called a heritic. I am confused about this. So here it is and help me on this.
Steve:
The first topic is a contraversial one! Thanks Teddy :-)
Many (most?) denominations consider universalism as incorrect, if not heretical. There are (as usual!) biblical verses that are used to justify and refute universalism. I'd imagine that universalism is something that wouldn't go down so well in most Pentecostal churches, given their significant emphasis on outward manifestations following reception of the Holy Spirit.
Me:
I finally found the guy here. Additionally, the first scriptural reference in Pearson's book is this:
"This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe." 1 Tim 4:9-10
Sara:
I was once told by a five-year old that hell is a place where God puts you in time-out.
Teddy:
We talked about hell last Wed. night over pizza. And about heaven. Heaven is where I am with God 24/7. And hell is not I want to be. We are made to praise God and when we get there, we will praise God. I am praising God now and do have a fore taste of God's kingdom by fellowship and breaking of the bread and prayers and praises.
