Finding saving faith and even laying that faith accordingly, but still lost?! Christ and Apostles talk about it!
"Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’
Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’
And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’, Matthew25:1-11.
Most church people don't really understand this parabel neither the connecting parabel of the leaving Lord giving his servants an amount of Talents. Why not? Because they have been taught and programmed in believing "once saved always saved". Yet with these 2 parabels Christ disagrees with their indoctrination!
Virgins are the Christians
The 10 bridesmaids waiting for the Bridegroom to return are the Christians waiting for Christ to return. The churches teach once you are a Christian you are saved no matter what. Yet Christ tells 5 of the 10 virgins will be lost:
"Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’, Matthew25:11.
Completely Christian yet lost!
Christ says all 10 Virgins have a lamp (are a temple in Christ, Eph2:20-21) and have oil (God's Spirit, 2Cor1:21-23) in that lamp.
"built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.", Eph2:20-23
"And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and Who has also put his seal on us and given us His Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee", 2Cor1:21-22
So these virgins have the complete basic equipment a Christian gets. They are a clean temple in Christ, and with Gods Spirit and Spiritual Gifts in it. Which is actually more than churchmembers will get, because with their pagan trinity or condensed biunity godhead that originates from Babylon they never receive God's Spirit neither the Gifts!
Without Gods Guidance and Spiritual Tools you are lost, because you are not connected to the Eternal God YHWH and you do your own will which leads to sin and the fruit of sin...
Yet the parabel tells the 10 virgins had the saving faith (= "Confess Christ as Lord and believe God raised Christ from the dead", Romans 10:9) and clearly have established that faith too, for they are lamps (Temple in Christ, Acts19:5, Gal3:27) and have oil in their lamps (God's Spirit & Gifts, Acts19:6, Acts8:17-18). So Christ told this parabel for Christians in the future yet telling it to the Jews at that moment...
What went wrong
Thinking you have the right faith and you were baptized and received the prayer with the laying on of hands thus being turned into a Christian IS NOT ENOUGH ACCORDING TO CHRIST!
Christ shows you need to take "spare oil" with you to prevent the lamps from burning all the oil in the lamp so your lamp willnot go out leaving you in the dark! But what is that "spare oil"?!
The connecting parabel
To explain the spare oil Christ tells the connecting parabel of the Talents (Matthew25:14-30).
A man travelling to a far country (Christ ascended into Heaven!) gives his servants Talents, each according to their abilities, before he departs.
Clearly from this parabel these Talents have to be put to use to yield even more. Those Talents are the Spiritual Gifts: Tools to put to use to go out as a Christian.
Active use of these Spiritual Tools leads to Fruit of the Spirit. And that personally intended yield is needed to not fall asleep and not being lost in the dark.
Not being active / hiding your Talents received (!) is no option for a Christian.
Christ tells in Matthew25:24-30 about it:
"He also who had received the one Talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your Talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.", Matthew25:24-25
Christ is angry about it and calls that servant wicked and lazy. Tells him he should have been active and sowing (Being that active Christian bringing the Word/Gospel according to the Talent(s) received). He takes away the Talent and tosses the wicked servant out!
"Cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth", Matthew25:30.
It is no coincidence after this verse Christ is telling about the Final Judgement and the "gnashing of teeth" refers to "a fiery judgement" of eternal death:
"So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.", Matthew13:49-50.
So it is important to know the churchy "once saved always saved" is untrue and directly going against what Christ teaches. And for those that still have doubts after this explanation I show you Hebrews6:4-6 saying:
"For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the Heavenly Gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.".
Worse than falling away after receiving Spirit and Gifts is never receiving Spirit or Gifts; being deceived with the pagan church godhead and thinking you can be a Christian that way!
