Title: Part 3 of 3 - What’s UP With Purgatory?
Topic: PURGATORY

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge – Retired
with Truth for You Ministries (www.truthforyou.net/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Christians are commanded to correct those who spread false doctrine. Does this include telling others – even those we love – the truth about purgatory?

Too many people think they will go to heaven. How can a person know they are saved and will spend eternity in Heaven? Will everyone be saved? Pastor Ed quotes Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” and Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Why is it so important for Christians to know and understand the True Gospel? Pastor Ed references Ephesians 4:30 “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption”, reminding us that absolutely nothing can break that seal.
