As a true Christian who has been born again, filled with the Holy Spirit has a never ending flow of blood that constantly cleanses us from sin. Jesus Christ was our sin offering and the blood He shed covers us. Thank you God!!
I thank God for by grace are you saved through faith and that's not of yourself it's a gift of God not of works list any man should boast
Ephesians 2:8-10
True and not the perspective given by this video.
By all means necessary convict me Holy Spirit in order to remove any sin in my life. Help me not to fool myself and live my life according to our Fathers will.
Thank you for this Renewing of Spirit reminder. Time is not ours and is not guaranteed. Praying this convicts others as well.
I paid attention to this man 50 years ago. I liked what he said and agreed to a lot of it. What is troubling to me, is using terms "may be at risk" & "not be actually saved" There is One who is the evaluator. (if you believe Christian dogma.) People approaching Christ in his ministry period, (before the crucifixion) weren't badgered about incidentals. Christ said "your faith has made you whole" And that took care of the problem. I cannot say at this point in my life, I agree with all that I learned from churches. Having the spirit of God instructing you, seems to me to be worth more than all the sermons, rebukes, and formulas available out yonder, to keep you on the straight and narrow, so you can feel the regeneration in your spirit when correction comes along..
@rexstratton73_12 hi Rex, in Acts The LORD instructed Simon Peter, via a dream of eating unclean things, to impress upon him to go to Cornelius' house to share the gospel. Because of Peter's witness to the Christian Jewish leadership in Jerusalem, Jewish believers began accepting Gentiles into the body of Christ. Later Paul reprimanded Peter because Peter backpedaled and didn't stand up for Gentile believers in the presence of Jewish believers.
When our Christian blades grow dull, we are to sharpen, clarify, one another's faith.
Also, the scripture is living and active and sharper than a two-edged sword. Jesus told the disciples, in the same discourse where HE washed their feet and declared to Peter that Peter was clean except where his feet had trod, thar they could not bear everything HE had to teach them at that time. The faith of believers is also designed to grow and not to become stagnant. Laodicea was a city known for its stagnant tepid water. It didn't have a fresh water source. Jesus said in Revelation that HE would spit the church of Laodicea out of HIS mouth if they remained stagnant. HE was sending HIS message to believers. The demons believe and shudder. Faith is something living.
Yes, we are Saved, not by our on works, but by the grace of God. When we take our salvation for granted, that is evidence that our faith hasn't taken root and is perishing. Remember the Parable of the Sower. Seed falls on rocky ground, grows quickly with shallow roots, and soon dies. Jesus is saying that saving faith grows and produces good fruit.
Our works don't save us. Only God can do that, but our healthy relationship with God shows up in our works, which glorifies God. Our responsibility is to love God and our neighbors as ourselves.
Having said that, don't follow me or C.S. Lewis. I point to Jesus as Sole Savior and LORD. So did Lewis. The Apostle Paul honored the Bereans because they tested what they heard with the plumb line of the scriptures. Test everything that way. Yse, the Holy Spirit is essential to our faith and we are to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Test those promptings through the lens of scripture. The Holy Spirit leads according to The WORD. We are referred to as the body of Christ. We need each other by God's Design. The Peace of Christ Jesus be with you.
I have never been comfortable with the idea that "lukewarmness" is about emotional excitement and feelings. I believe that this is about our attitude and commitment to obedience to the will of God. John 10.27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" KJV Listen and Do.
" And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish . And no man is able to pluck them from my hand . My Father , who gave them to me is greater than all and no one is able to pluck them from my Fathers hand . I and the Father are one . " .. Listen & Do is good advise brother .. God bless you Lynn .. Your brother in Christ , Jeff
@@jeffwarren6906 Jesus said one must be born again in order to enter the Kingdom of God. And if we're born again, he says he'll give us a new heart, with new desires... desires to keep His commands. If we do like he did, in action, this results from becoming born again and having our heart renewed by Him. The acts of following Jesus don't make us saved, they result from becoming born again. You will know them by their fruits. Lukewarm people may 'believe in Christ'... but many that profess to know Him don't necessarily follow Him, in action. What should we be doing? He tells us in Mark 16:15 and other places.
I believe the lukewarm are those who were NEVER clear on salvation; they teetered between law and grace their entire "Christian" life but were never fully persuaded that the ONLY way to be saved is by God's free gift of grace....often rejecting it to go back to works as a means tobe justified.
That's what I think the lukewarm are.
No it’s about a church that mixes law and grace together
There were 3 cities being contrasted as hot, cold, and lukewarm. Laodicea had water piped in from elsewhere via a Roman pipes. Laodicea was known for poor tasting water. Another city was known for its hot mineral waters. People from miles around would visit for the benefits of soaking in the fresh mineral hot springs. Another city was known for its cold, refreshing spring water that was excellent for drinking.
In Jesus' referral to the lukewarm church of Laodicea, HE was stating that the church in that area had lost love for HIM and was stagnant like the water in their area.
Jesus wants our love to be refreshing like cold water or healing like the hot mineral springs of the other cities.
Though we are justified by faith alone, without works, in Christ alone, the genuineness of that faith is shown in our works, our obedience to our Lord.
And exactly what are these works and how much of them do I need?
@@ReligiouslyIncorrectRead what the Apostle Paul says about the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
@@CarlChilders-yr5hl okay and how much of those fruits do I have to have? 1, 30, 62? I need a number. Because John 6:47 and Acts 16:29-31 tell me that believing on Christ is enough.
I Cor 6:9 Avoid fornication, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, thefts, coveting, drunkenness, reviiing, extorting. Otherwise you won't inherit the kingdom of God
@@charlesgilbert5682 but I believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Thank you, Jesus for being close to me amen
"Such a thought-provoking topic! This really makes you reflect on faith and personal growth."
CS Lewis is the author. To the one who wanted to know. Amen
ALL born again Christians will be in Heaven, as nothing can pluck us from our Fathers hands.
No, but unrepentant sin and lukewarmness can pluck ourselves out of our Fathers hands. ALL of God's promises to the church are conditional, just as His promises to Israel are conditional. Jesus said, "The one who endures to the end will be saved." Paul understood this and he stated to Timothy before his martyrdom, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
@@iankirk9097it says nothing can pluck us from his hand. Even unrepentant sin can’t pluck us from his hand.
@iankirk9097 Bible even talks about being lukewarm. Before I really accepted Jesus and have gotten to know him I used to think I believed in him. I was so sure I was saved. Then scripture showed me How wrong I was
Then why does he list in revelation who wo t see kingdom. Cause the list is people who who repent. @@ReligiouslyIncorrect
@@ReligiouslyIncorrect And Jesus talks about a narrow and wide road
LORD JESUS FORGIVE me For I treat YOUR GIFT OF YOUR LIFE GIVEN ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY FOR my sins. I 🙏🏾 YOUR FORGIVENESS & I REPENT of my sins IN YOUR MIGHTY NAME. AMEN 🔥🔥🔥📖📖📖🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I do see the word of God in this video, I do enjoy feeding my spirit on scriptures rather than any other activity under the sun. I want so much to do great exploits for our precious Messiah.
Praying we all stand strong and endure to the end.
Amen! Trust the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit first.... before any man made videos especially AI generated. (which I believe this to be.) Jesus strength and Blessings to You.
@@mosriteminioncause7741 Absolutely trust the Scriptures and live by the Spirit's leading. But having said that, "cherry picking" Scripture out of context can lead to misinterpretation and misunderstanding. Christians live by faith and respond to grace by good works in love that glorifies God, not self. God bless!
Amen. Thank you, Jesus for being close to me
Amen! Jesus, thank you for your confirmation of my silence. I am your humble servant.
Sorry, bad title choice. All true Christians go to Heaven.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord Jesus for Your cautioning Word, the Word of truth and life.
Praise be to His holy name. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jesus is Lordship and “Savior” Amen !!!
Thank you ❤ it’s truly refreshing to hear the goodness and the laws of Our Lord Jesus ❤I pray to live in him everyday of my life and to apply his teachings ❤
Many scriptures are taken out of context. I remember the complete change of heart inside me when I became regenerated. It was as if I went from darkness to light. My life from there onwards had many ups and downs and times I sinned and started doubting and became angry and bitter and was a hypocrite. However I knew I was wrong and convicted. But now I know and do not doubt my redemption. Verses taken out of context are very destructive.
❤ IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CROSS,HOLD TIGHT TO JOHN 3:16-17.❤ PRAISE ALMIGHTY GOD, PRAISE HIM,AMEN❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Thank you for this! May God bless you more and beyond! Surely this goes back to His people 🙏
Thank you Lord and Thank you minister
I need to take captive my thoughts and intentions moment by moment
God does not send Christians to hell! He sends sinners - non-Christians to hell!
God sends no one anywhere... we "send" ourselves either by accepting His grace or dismissing it.
Hell is the grave and all who die go to hell since hell is the grave and where ever a person is buried that is where hell is for them since hell is the grave. And Jesus said in Mat 7:21 only those who do the will of my Father who is in heaven shall be saved.
what is a Christian?
A Christian is someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ and they live their life after the teaching of God and not after the desires of the flesh.
Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Why is being a Christian so hard?
Because most people want to live their lives after the desires of the flesh rather than after the teachings of God. Jesus was able to overcome all sin in his life because He choose to live His life after the teachings of God and not after the desires of the flesh who was tempted in everyway.
And when they arrested Jesus all He had were the clothes on His back.
And It is written in 1 John 2:15-16 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world or the things in the world, The love for the Father is not in them. (we cannot serve two masters. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.)16 For everything in the world-the lust or desires of the flesh, or the lust or desires of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world.
Not even by a thought was our Lord and savior Jesus Christ lead to sin. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
And a true Christian will die daily to the desires of the flesh by giving up all sin in their life on a moment by moment and on a day by day basis with the help of the Holy Spirit as they completely surrender their free choices and by doing God's will instead. It is written by our fruits we shall be known.
we are to do God's will out of love moment by moment and day by day rather than our own will. Our character by our actions is to be transformed daily into the character of Jesus Christ.
Beloved: Salvation is a 2 step process.
The 1st step in the process of salvation is being justified by what Christ which happens when a person accepts Jesus Christ as their person savior.
And after being justified by what Christ did by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
The next step in salvation is sanctification.
And Sanctification is a moment by moment and a day by day process of obedience to the will of God out of love ALL of the days of your life after accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
And To Repent of sin, means to ask The Son of God who is Jesus Christ incarnate for forgiveness of sin and he wants us to be literal about the sin that we are asking Him to be forgiven of and part of asking for forgiveness also means that we will give up in our lives whatever sin it is that we are asking to be forgiven of.
Again Salvation is a 2 step process.
The 1st step in the process of salvation is being justified by what Christ which happens when a person accepts Jesus Christ as their person savior.
And after being justified by what Christ did by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
The next step in salvation is sanctification.
And Sanctification is a moment by moment and a day by day process of obedience to the will of God by doing the will of God out of love ALL of the days of your life after accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
And Our mission is to study the word of God so that we can share the word of God with those who are receptive to it and to be transformed into the character of Jesus Christ by our choices and by our actions.
Mat 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The character we form in this world by our choices and actions will determine our destiny for eternity. Our future is determined by the way in which we now allow ourselves to be transformed into the image and character of Jesus Christ.
which is why every person who says they follow Christ is to be transformed into the image and character of Jesus Christ by their choices and by their actions on a moment by moment and on a day by day basis with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Accepting, the gift of grace, forgiveness, mercy, salvation and eternal life is dependent on what we do, today, tomorrow and the rest of our life, action wise, till we die that determines if a person has accepted, God's grace, the gift of eternal life, salvation, and God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ our Lord.
And life tomorrow is promised to NO one.
Those who choose not to become like Jesus Christ in character; Must know that their profession to follow Jesus Christ is a fraud. Obedience to the will of God out of Love is a requirement of those who would be saved.
God knows our wants, needs and our desires, and He can read our heart, mind, and soul, and He knows our intentions and our desires by our actions.
Jesus estimates the purity of motive, thoughts and actions and the character that we posse. which is used along with the things written in the books which determines if we have accepted the gifts described above.
He looks to see how much of His Spirit and character is in us by our actions
How much of His likeness of character is in our life which is revealed in us by our actions.
To be great in God’s kingdom is to be as a little child in humility, in simplicity of faith, and in purity of love.
And what you have done for those whom you think to be the least worthy of your help you have done unto the Lord.
Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." James 4:4, KJV
1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters: Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God, the world and money.
No one is justified by keep the 10 commandments ALONE since we are saved by grace. But keeping the 10 commandments is still a requirement to salvation since we are judged by works.
That is because sin is the breaking of any of the 10 commandments and the wages for unforgiven sin is death and the soul that sinneth shall surely die.
@@teacherlisa163have you actually read Revelation 21:8? It says specifically that God does it.
We are all sinners
@@PaulTaylor1 1 Corinthians 6:11 says, "And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God".

Father gave me a waking vision in the clouds, HE let me see how FEW have a relationship with Jesus. In the clouds it looked big enough for hundreds maybe thousands and that includes the dead in Christ. ALL were welcome but FEW showed up.
Thank you. I needed to hear this.
Wonderful and absorbing content. Jesus is the light of the world. Amen.
tHIS WAS GOOD. i DO WONDER SOMETIMES IF i AM A TRUE CHRISTIANS WHEN SO MUCH PAIN COMES MY WAY BUT i STILL TRUST gOD/jESUS AND WORSHIP THEM ALL THE DAY AND NIGHT!
Your pain has no relevance to your relationship with Christ... Imagine being the apostle Paul bound in prison and beaten... Or any of the disciples that all died a horrible death except one... You're pain creates dependence on Him... Your pain creates faith... So hold on tight and don't let go... Suffering creates endurance. You will arrive! Romans 5:3-5, James 1:2-4
We need to read, obey God's commandments
Thank you for this video I pray I understand it and will remember the words that I heard to be a person who will go to heaven!! In Jesus name Amen 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Fear of God is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction
Then I’m a fool. Call me a fool
@@KevinKurzsartdisplayAre you despising wisdom and instruction? We must have a teachable spirit.
A wise man once said. "Money is a useful tool, but a lousy boss."
Love of money is another description of "self-centeredness" which is the opposite of God-centeredness!
To answer the previous comment regarding the authority of these videos: C.S. Lewis was a scholar and man of God. This channel is in regards to his take on Scripture, as found in the Holy Bible itself. As a man, Lewis claimed no authority. As a believer, he gave ALL authority to Christ and His teachings.
Personally, I was lifted up by this video. Having been a member of a denomination that disregarded the Old Testament, while only valuing the New Testament, I am so glad this video spoke of how Jesus himself said that not a single word of the Law, (Old Testament) shall pass away. Whenever He started a statement with, “It is written…” He was quoting Scripture from what we now call The Old Testament. After all, He didn’t have the New Testament to quote from while He still walked the earth. Besides, without the prophesies which described “The Messiah” within the Old Testament, we would not be able to see how Jesus fulfilled them ALL.
God bless C.S. Lewis Legends!
I would take my GOD before I would Money with all my Heart ❤️
I want to Please GOD Not the World .👏AMEN! 👏
If they do not enter heaven it means they are not a true Christian. All true Christian will enter heaven, because God does not lie. The Bible says that all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved!!!

This guy is right on the mark, which will upset many.
I am very much wondering about the authority of these videos. Who is behind them? Can they declare themselves, so that we might have a conversation about their accountability? Some of these I have liked, so, then, why not give us information about the actual author, if such exists. We really don't want to play around with theological authority. Respectfully submitted.
Te scriptures are accurate no matter whom produced it. I enjoyed this video.

@@mikerutherford1315 Yes, but the interpretation is an issue.
@@boscodog4358 No, he did not. These are messages "inspired by C. S. Lewis." It does not mean they are wrong, but the anonymity of the source of the series does make one wonder.
C.S. Lewis was real and I know where you’re coming from, my advise is to pray and ask god for understanding, also read the Bible to hopefully find your answers. An important lesson I learned this year is in the KJV Bible: Do Not Yield To Your Own Understanding!
Amen 🙏🏻
No man is qualified to judge another soul.
I hope my brother in my church loves me enough to come to me and show me from scripture where I am openly sinning and try to help me. Without judging me
😾😧No one has the right to CONDEMN another by an Unrighteous JUDGMENT. Judge not that you be not judged. For how we judge shall in turn be measured upon us therefore the people of God are to judge righteously. Paul instructed and did this, also let's not forget that the spiritual man judges all things yet he himself is not. Maturity, for SURE MATURITY in Christ (having the mind of Christ) is truly the safe guard TO BE IN when confronting any matter. Not so when it comes to babes in Christ. Who are still unskilled in the Word involving spiritual warfare, spiritual development spiritual judgments. Still, they are Christians yet MORE susceptible to fail in this area and less potent in word or deed. As Paul told Timothy to " commit these things to spiritual (minded) men who WOULD BE ABLE to teach it properly to others." I perceive that Christ mindedness is throughout the believers lifestyle and not just giving good answers but facing up to pain, loneliness, lack with this developing unyielding fortitude for the things that are right and acceptance to God to the things that would had once laid them out 🥶 cold> remaining lukewarm AND HERE ARE ...The WARNINGS Coming destruction upon the western world is immanent.

Correct. That is why we have His Word to teach us. Jesus came into the world to save it, not condemn it. Man condemns himself by denial of His word. Self righteousness will surely condemn a man.
Shared wth many. Cut and dried guidelines to pleasing our Lord daily. Agape -- Maranatha!
God commanded us not to Judge! 🙏🤔🙏
Yes but he who doesn't believe in him is already juges....so we don't need to
@ we are judged by who has their mark on us. Which is what’s located in our foreheads, called our brains frontal lobe. Our frontal lobe controls our beliefs(thinking & memory), & our works(speaking & movements). Which determines if it’s God Himself, Satan, or our selfishness, that has marked who & what we are spiritually. And there is one sin that is unpardonable, which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
@@treeoflife6386 John 3:18 " He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God". as for the "frontal lobe" what if the mark is on the hand? ( ... neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands ...)
Well that rules out most Christians. In the words of Adam Bede by George Eliot "We are the pure and chosen few, all the rest are damned, there's room enough in hell for you, we dont want heaven crammed"
To forgive means to set it free into the hands of the Almighty, the God of all flesh, letting Him deal with your enemies. It has nothing to do with feelings.
It depends on what you think christanity is. Most people who claim to be a christian has no idea what it truly is.
Just like they have no idea what friendship/ love truly is and that includes a lot of pastors or preachers.😮😊
Being a Christian involves learning about God's Word for the rest of our lives. We are human and sin. Most people who claim to be Christian do know what following Christ truly means. The vast majority of Christians and God believing pastors and preachers know exactly what friendship/ love truly is.
I don't think after listening too this video there won't be very many people in heaven. I am trusting in the precise blood of my Lord & Savior because I will never be perfect but I do won't too live a Christ like life so I depend on the wonderful holy spirit for that.❤❤❤
Amen Elizabeth!
If we have asked forgiveness for our sins, which Christ died for, and work daily to not sin, why wouldn't we be welcomed into His kingdom?
Because as the Bible says, our works are of filthy rags. BUT first and foremost, God only hears the prayers of His Children, due to our Spirit speaking through the Holy Spirit to God. And SIN causes us to be separated from God, hence the Blood of Jesus.
Only by full Surrender to Jesus!
It's in the bible, Matthew seven twenty two. Under gods law we are committing iniquity. Its the free grace of abundance of Jesus Blood on the exchange on the cross that constantly washes are sins.
Truth ❤ God is forgiving
Yes i agree, listening to all these utubers is a damning rollercoaster ride saved not saved saved not saved saved not saved all day every day,, i wouldnt have thought Jesus intended it to be like that,, if we are trying on the daily then thats all anybody can ask of somebody and i believe Jesus is happy with people trying
@@JimForero-comif Jesus only hears the prayers of his children then non of us would be saved as we were not his kids when we first prayed we were unsaved at first,,,
Guys- please pray for me- i am guilty of not loving my neighbour or those around me my actions and thoughts are sinful towards them. Again please pray for me as i don’t even understand why i act this way anymore to them almost like i have hate and judgement towards them
While you might question the author, I can’t believe you’d question the intent of the words. We only have so many options, and when you don’t trust or follow the words of the Maker- As you believe, so be it unto you - Bon Chance!
The one thing I still struggle with is willful sinning. Don’t we all willfully sin? I am sure that I have sinned accidentally but I must admit that most of the time it is willful. Not bragging and I am not convicted but I want to be honest.
❤ prais God and amen good stuff
WHO MADE YOU JUDGE N JURRY // REMEMBER THE WAY YOU JUDGE YOU WILL BE JUDGED
You are either saved ( by grace ) or not saved ( by works ) Period!
Either / Or? “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus”. Revelation 14:12 “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” James 2:20 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10.
@@AlHart-w5g Amen. This should be taught more.
We are saved by grace but a born again Christian will also obey his will.
CS Lewis, in his spiritual journey became an Anglo-Catholic.
Ah, that explains a lot.
Catholics are taught that it is the Catholic Church that saves a person's soul and gives everlasting life, not Jesus Christ.
Catholic dogma says if you are ex-communicated from the Catholic Church, you go to Hell when you die.
Catholics have a totally different "gospel" from that in the Bible, which is God's Word, not man's.
Catholicism is a man-made religion.
Catholics have to do good works to be saved.
The Bible says our good works are as filthy rags to God.
The Bible states that it is by God's Grace through our faith that we are saved, not of our works, lest anyone should boast.
It is only through the Blood of Jesus Christ and our faith in Him as the Son of God and faith in all He accomplished for us while on the Cross that saves us.
God listens to sinners who ask for forgiveness, and who are sincere in their request, and have a repentant, humble and contrite heart.
NO! He did not become catholic. "Despite his resistance to embracing Catholicism, Lewis is much loved by Catholics." There are many aspects of the catholic church which are actually Biblical.
A lot of materials can sure sound good, good rule is always search for your self the Holy Bible to see that it is. Acts 17
From ChatGPT .C.S. Lewis did not write directly about "7 types of Christians who can't enter heaven." However, he often explored themes of faith, morality, and the afterlife in his works, particularly in The Great Divorce and Mere Christianity.
In The Great Divorce, Lewis uses a fictional allegory to depict people who cling to certain sins or attitudes, preventing them from fully embracing God's grace. These include pride, selfishness, and an unwillingness to let go of earthly concerns, which might be interpreted as barriers to heaven.
If you've come across such a list, it might be a reinterpretation of Lewis's themes by someone else, rather than something he explicitly wrote. If

There’s so many doctrines and theologies out here.
"7 types of Christians" is there more than ONE Christ? just food for thought!
You're basing Heaven on worldly attributes. You're distorting the Bible. Those not going to Heaven are those who have rejected the Gospel, Christ's gift of Salvation. Christians grow in grace throughout their lives.
If you are a Christian, you have been Saved.
If I say to someone, "You have sin," duh.
If I say to someone, "We have all sinned and fallen short of God's Glory, and we need to support one another in our love and in our repentance," that is entirely different.
If I am interacting with a work whose author is deceased, the last word is scripture. The plumb line is always scripture.
A person's work can be tested over time, prayer, reputation, and experience, and especially the authority of scripture.
C. S. Lewis has an excellent reputation. Even so, he is not Jesus. I believe Lewis realized that.
The body of Christ sharing insights with each other, hopefully leaning on scripture, is much better off than a lone, isolated person who doesn't challenge their own belief system.
The body of Christ needs to acknowledge humanity without excusing error.
We are to sharpen one another's faith in love rather than cut each other into pieces.
By the way, I am expressing principles and not any particular person. I hold myself to this kind accountability.
The peace of Christ Jesus be with you.
May His peace be upon you 🙏 Amen
The intrusive background music makes this very difficult to focus on what is being said.
PLEASE CUT OUT BACKGROUND MUSIC.
Cheap graces means the justification of sin without the justification of the sinner. Bonheffer
Amen
Many are called but few are chosen.
Broad is the way that leads to destruction, but narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there be that find it.
And many will come in that day and say, We did this and that in your name, we cast out demons etc (paraphrasing), and He will say to them: "Depart from Me, I never knew you, you workers of law-less-ness." How many Christians say they do not need God's law under grace? Yet, sin is transgression of the law. The word "law" (Torah) means "teaching" in Hebrew, yet Christians break God's laws every day concerning the Sabbath, unlean foods etc.
Verses as 1 Corinthians 6 followed to the extreme, is the source of lots of hate and misunderstanding. Follow your heart ! 💖
Last days equals deception
Amen!
Own nothing that another man can give you. Let the alms sweat in the palm of your hands until you know where it should go. Jesus
Did this content originate from the CS Lewis Institute or the CS or the CS Lewis Foundation?
We can read the Biblical account of Jesus on the cross with the 2 thieves. One repented on the cross and accepted Jesus, the Christ on thatcross. Jesus reply? "I say truly, today, you shall be with Me in Paradise." We would hope we would mature as Christians who are not "11th hour Christians", but our place in heaven is still assured.
If our salvation must be earned as is described in this video it should be considered very disturbing because one can never know for sure if they ever did enough. Like how many hours going without reading your bible could make you consider lukewarm? If you get sleepy one day and mis reading the bible or praying or if you pay your credit card instead of giving to charity or vice versus, could one mistake make you considered lukewarm? That leaves the question of how much leeway we are given before we are considered not good enough..
The almighty is our provider and guide. He is supposed to be our silver and gold. Thats in job.
Everyone gets saved, if we Waite long enough

This drivel cheapens salvation. Salvation is a gift not a condition. One way or another those who truly accepted Christ as their Savior will eventually be with Him. Even though there may be some discipline.
Do not let your mind be carried off from what you have been taught from the beginning. Paul was saying to the Galatians 1:7-9. “Do not accept any message that is different from the message that we taught you. “
Stand strong on this and do not listen to videos like this.
Unbelievers do not believe in the righteousness of Christ alone because the gift if faith to believe has not been given to them by the Holy Spirit. When we believe in His righteousness and not our own then we may rest assured it has been imputed, not infused, to our account.
Do not judge and remain humble in your faith.
Awsome information of being a true Christian
What about no one will snatch u out of God's hand
There is no such thing as a Christian that will not enter heaven. There are those that "claim" to be Christian that will not be saved (enter heaven) but EVER Christian is saved and will enter heaven.
Non christians gain heaven resides in there behavior while alive.
What you do everyday whether it be good or bad is up to you.
Cool ducks
1.) Cannot serve God and Money; Our Money, material possessions and effort are all established by our own works. It makes us self righteous because we have achieved, accomplished and obtained. This is why the Gospel is about faith and loving money is in contrast to this concept. Secondly we are taught by the world to be surrounded by winners and winning at all costs. That applies to money, material possessions and wealth. Which means obtain these even if it’s done unethically, immorally and illegally or using direct & indirect evil.
2.) Unable to forgive; That means let live and don’t seek revenge. It does not mean to know who they are by their fruits. We should separate the two concepts. We should as Christians be aware and remember what they’re capable of and the evil they perpetrated upon us. But forgiveness does not mean let’s bring that person into our lives it means don’t seek revenge.
3.) Caring to Please: People pleasers and trying to fit into the world. Because that Christian is entirely governed by self esteem and group conformity. When you follow their beliefs, views, likes & influences. Because they will lead you down the wrong path and that person will forget to discern good and evil by hanging around the wrong crowd.
4.) Sins Consciously or Daily; Means you’re not forgiven under the blood. You may have heard it but never applied it. Therefore think it’s a green light to just keep living the old ways. That means you’re a pretend Christian and not governed by the Holy Spirit. Falling short at times is different but the Holy Spirit makes us aware of our actions.
5.) Lukewarm Christian means simply you are a fence sitter. Who will not stand for what Christ Jesus our Lord stood for, taught us and expected for us. We won’t stand for Christ and making sure we are definite about our relationship with Jesus Christ. Lukewarm Christian is a person who will pretend, play games and follow what is convenient.
6.) Not helping Poor or Needy: Remember to discern the difference between those who take advantage of being poor and needy and those who are genuinely struggling, poor and in need. Help those who will really need that help. We need to have a generous heart ❤️
7.) Follow Lord is Perfect: Show love and respect to your neighbour. Realise letting the Holy Spirit convict our consciousness and to choose the right path.
Wondering about the integrity of these videos. The way they spin Gods words is questionable.
Said Satan, the Father of lies…..
