How to repent, Great White Throne of Judgment, Lake of Fire, —What does the Bible say?
From ‘Got Questions’ Repentance is an important topic in the New Testament.
John the Baptist’s message was “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near” (Matthew 3:2, see also Mark 1:15 and Luke 3:3, 8).
When Jesus started His public ministry, He also called for repentance. Matthew 4:17 records, “From that time on Jesus began to preach, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.’” Jesus says of repentance, “I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent” (Luke 15:7).

The judgment seat of Christ is different from the Great White Throne Judgment. That will be the final judgment of the wicked prior to their being cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11–15). Appearing before the Great White Throne will be unbelievers. Believers will appear before the judgment seat of Christ. More Here

When I think of New Mexico and all of America, I think of Sodom and Gomorrah!
The biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah is recorded in Genesis. Genesis 18 records the Lord and two angels coming to speak with Abraham. The Lord informed Abraham that “the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous” (Genesis 18:20). Verses 22–33 record Abraham pleading with the Lord to have mercy on Sodom and Gomorrah because of the righteous people who might be there. Abraham’s nephew, Lot, and his family lived in Sodom. Many Pastors do not preach this because it is not popular!

Depending on our disposition, our church evaluation may be too optimistic or too skeptical. Either way, we rarely know why we see what we do.

Is it possible that your evaluation of your church is not as accurate as you think?
All pastors, just like all people, are afflicted with confirmation bias. We apply unconscious assumptions about what we already believe to the myriad of people we see from the platform—many as opaque as a brick wall if we’re honest—and propose a theory to make sense of what we’re seeing. More Here
I pray that you share this message with your Pastor! Wow Wee! What a message by Josh Hunt in CHURCHLEADERS! This PREACHES!! PTL!!
What are the bridges of God? How does the gospel spread from my small group to a lost and dying world?
Donald McGavran wrote about this in 1955. He had observed that two churches in the same neighborhood preaching the same doctrine with pastors from the same seminary would have wildly different results. One church would grow rapidly while the other stalled.
