"If in Revelation 2–3 God will admit some saved persons into eternal blessing but not the aspects of reward meant for the overcomer, these chapters never spell out what their aspects of blessing will be. The curtain of silence drawn on a distinguishable future for a non-overcoming group of the saved provokes a serious question. Does such a saved group, which is to gain some reward distinct in its essential nature from that of committed believers, in fact exist?" -- 20160114131311.pdf, p. 267. "If some of the saved in heaven have not overcome, God never definitely distinguishes them as being in a special category and extends them any encouragement, such as “You at least have eternal life; you will dwell in the presence of the Lord forever.” The book nowhere identifies any saved who enter into any kind of ultimate blessing except those naturally understood as overcomers, who are marked by obedience to the Word of God (as Rev. 3:8,10; 6:9; 12:11; 13:8; 14:9–12; 22:7,9,11 )" -- 20160114131311.pdf, p. 267. "This material [Revelation 2-3] concerns churches, Christians, and their works. So, the argument goes, the issue of salvation has already been settled and the passage cannot pertain to salvation; it only relates to Christian living of the surely saved. Evaluation: Christ is speaking to churches! But often NT passages which address believers weave in warnings that lift an appeal even to the unsaved. These, mingled among the saved, may fancy themselves as saved and be insensitive to their need. The tough words register a healthy, sobering effect on two groups. First are those who really are saved but are living in backslidden slackness. Second, some among the fellowships might not prove to have been in fact begotten of God. Their character, attitudes, words and works can betray their barrenness, and they stand in grave peril. So the issue of salvation can be relevant even in a church context. The lack of salvation's fruit and bearing of bad fruit can reveal men as counterfeit or at least place them under suspicion." -- 20160114131311.pdf, p. 270. "Still a further objection to the favored view is this. Exhortations in Revelation 2–3 can be relevant only for the saved because the Bible never makes an appeal to the unsaved about works. For the unsaved works are not the issue. God's summons to them is to believe. Evaluation: This generalization overlooks much in the Bible. Certainly it is true that no man can merit salvation by works. Yet this is not incompatible with another emphasis, that God calls on men to do the works they can do by faith if they only will respond to God's grace. God appeals to Cain (Gen 4:7), and Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar (Dan 4:27). John the Baptist calls on religious but unsaved men to bring forth fruit that corresponds with repentance (Matt 3:8). Paul is concerned for those at Corinth, some of whom may prove to be “rejected” (ἀδόκιμοι), not having Christ in them (2 Cor 13:5–7)." -- 20160114131311.pdf, pp. 272-273.
