(Thought: forced confession would not be glory to the Father.) Then when ALL have come to right relationship to Jesus, then He will God will be "...all in all..." Which can never the case as long as anything or anyone is outside of Him. The elect or the church will participate in the completion of all things, as the bride is calling "Come", ruling over those that are still in transit, and also BTW, "...don't you know that you will judge angels..." as well.

Why would God Almighty create, only to condemn the majority??? When He has the will and the power to redeem ALL?? Redemption is not holding guiltless, if also includes the process of purification. Fire is the symbol of this purification, as in wheat and chaff, and as in gold and silver and dross.

In short, is it your belief that once someone is cast into the lake of fire it's possible for them to exit said lake of fire and enter into Holy Jerusalem?
