I Corinthians 3:6-9: I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will **EACH BE **REWARDED** ACORDING TO THEIR OWN LABOR**. For we are co-workers in God's service!!

Prophetic, at the very beginning, on the first page, I clearly stated that I posted copies of two views. One of which might be close to the one you hold.
In one or several of your posts, you quoted one of my sources but somehow you attributed the quote to me.
With such shoddy “Bible study”, Is it any wonder that you lack credibility?
Not only that, you repeatedly misunderstand my posts and threads and then misrepresent me in your posts.
Do you ever reread stuff just to make sure you understand what you read before you jump and post ?

little David: I must apologize if I misunderstood some of your quotes which seem to imply that **ETERTNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS** is not one of the main motives for our faithful and loving service in obeying the many New Covenant commands of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

KJV,
Name calling doesn't get us anywhere. We don't know each other personally. calling people satan or apostate or unbeliever isn't helpful. even if we did know each other personally, I don't think we would ever be justified in calling people names to their face. pointing out the errors of others is also something to be done, but with care, don't you think? if you were doing it in person, how would you approach someone? whether it is doctrinal or moral error, I think of galatians 6:1." Restore such a person with an attitude of meekness/gentleness, looking to yourself, lest you also be tempted."

Your most receipt post as follows:

**LITTLEST DAVID** and **SATAN** deny that God's saints can receive countless **ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS** for faithful and loving service and teach that all saints will receive the **EXACT SAME EWARD**??? Which takes away the main motive for faithful and loving services!!
END QUOTE
No Richard, you need to reread my last post.
l was clear—you quoted another person that I quoted then you attributed the quote to me as if I was the original author.
You also misunderstand some of my other posts just like you’re now misunderstanding my latest. Let me help clear this up.
I’ve never “implied” that “eternal heavenly rewards is not one of the main motives for our...”
which seems to be a revision from you earlier post which says, quote:
“Which takes away the main motive for faithful...”
So which is it Richard?
Are heavenly rewards “the main motive” or one of the main motives”???
This is the kind of indiscretion of non-distinction that routinely characterizes your “Bible Studies”.
But back to what you say I implied.
I did not “imply” that your theory of “eternal heavenly rewards” is “the main motive” or “one of the main motives”.
Instead, I categorically deny such ideas.
I stated clearly that I believe the love of Jesus and the glory of God only should motivate a Christian’s service.
Promised reward/s are just another of the many undeserved graces of God that he showers on those he loves.
No wonder the believers will place their crowns at the feet of Jesus. They will acknowledge their crowns were due to God’s enablement.
Therefore all praise and worship rightfully belong to him.
Only God is able to make our labor successful.
Our humble attitude of ourselves and what we deserve is best explained in Luke 17:10
Luke 17:7-10
7Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
8Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink’?
9Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?
****10So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”*****

*^ SALVATION IS 100 PERCENT **FREE** but **ETERNAL REWARDS** are 100 percent **DESERVED** and **EARNED**!!
Ephesians 6:8: Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will **REWARD** EVERYONE FOR WHATEVER GOOD HE DOES!

Luke 11:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE** IN HEAVEN** that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your **TREASURE** is, there your **HEART** will be also!"
2 Corinthians 4:15-18: We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but on what is **UNSEEN IS **ETERNAL**!
Luke 14:13,14: Jesus says, "When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be **BLESSED**. Although they cannot repay you will be **REPAID AT THE RESURRECTION** of the righteous!"

1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his **REWARD**. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
How to Win Heavenly CROWNS:
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST ***FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose **WHAT YOU HAVE WORKED FOR**, but that you may be **REWARDED** FULLY!!
Revelation 3:11: Jesus says, “I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your **CROWN**!”

Hebrews 11:1,6: Now **FAITH** is confidence in **WHAT WE HOPE FOR**and assurance about **WHAT WE DO NOT SEE**!... And without **FAITH** it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him**MUST BELIEVE** that He exists and that **HE REWARDS THOSE WHO EARNESTLY SEEK HIM**!!
I Corinthians 3:6-9: I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will **EACH BE **REWARDED** ACORDING TO THEIR OWN LABOR**. For we are co-workers in God's service!!
I Peter 5:1-4 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ's sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the **CROWN OF GLORY THAT WILL NEVER FADE AWAY!!
**AND SO ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS ARE 100 PERCENT ***DESERVED** AND **EARNED** for faithful and loving service!!

I'm thinking we should give prophetic and David some foam bats and lock them in a room until one is beaten into submission, and they give each other a hug and a handshake.

I appreciate your wish for peace TOTH, but no real prophet, apostle or Jesus ever set right doctrine at risk by being kind to false teaching and those promoting it.
I would rather be like them.
Have you read the caustic speech used by the prophets of old, Jesus’ caustic speech and the apostles negative words against false teachers and false prophets in the day?
Anything I’ve said to the “confident in his incompetence” the Richard is mild by comparison.

David,
I just don't get what you both think you're going to accomplish. The more you trade blows, the less likely either of you will understand the other, so it will just continue indefinitely. So what's the point? I've read things you've both said that were insightful and it would be nice if you could learn together in fellowship rather than try to beat the other guy with the better retort.
