Well, like I explained in my post to MG...I had
"tasted" quite a few ways before joining TF...it was the conversion-prayer...asking Jesus in my heart...Daniel 2 lessons...later the letter "proof"...the fulfilled prophecies about the Messiah..by the which even a lot of Jews come to the realisation, that the Messiah has already come (they "missed collectively" the first appearance)
If I don't want salvation through Jesus...then I miss the first resurrection/"rapture"...and would have to wait for the great white throne judgement,
where all the remaining dead are judged...
I am far to bad by Word-standard/law...to have any chance there...and even pretty "good" people probably have a problem with pride...anyway, I don't get it why even religious/spiritiual people
would like to take chances?
I know, that universal reconciliation is quite a "hit" with several/many...
I do "protest" though against the notion, that God is not speaking to anyone anymore...unless being psychotic etc...as you put it, which is kind of the "mainstream-understanding"...I have a book with testimonies of messianic Jews and a lot of them came to faith, without anyone telling them, they got convinced/shown in/by the Spirit.
Some had visions or events happening, which opened their mind & heart to Christ.It's a work of the Holy Spirit, which we know through the Gospel of John.
The following youtube-clips also show, that people everywhere still get "drawn" to Christ.Another marvel for me:(Though they are no prove in itself...they happen to add to the overall picture)
