... the water , the spirit , and the blood [trial to death]

 The trial of love is too extreme for most... but it is written that it s so for a cause ...

The Three Baptisms of salvation in scripture:

Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

Most people are not even taught what baptism of 'fire' means in the modern churches, that is how far religion is from knowing about redemption by translation [the return to the spirit where no further life in the body and death is required, no more illusion of time-dependency ]

So most people will return to the body having died sinners , most never having even been baptised with water, never having even known of Jesus ... it underlines how much work there is to be done once the kingdom of God in the new earth is set up

It also explains why most people are given to believe the lies of divided man-made religion in this earth , believing despite that they know almost all must be wrong because they do not agree in one truth of God.

Thus God takes His few [Matt 7:14] predestinated sons , all images of perfect Jesus having given up all sin and turned to love by spirit baptism , having their love perfected in trial [baptism of fire] :-

1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

We thus see that Jesus will not take any sinners at his return , the foundation of God is to perfect love in trial, to depart from all iniquity :-

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

This then is why religion has to be apostate, not only to snare Satan with billions of humans as bait worshiping him [Rev 13:3-10, 2Thes 2] but because only FEW [Mat 7:14, Rev 7:3-8, Jude 1:14] are required as priests and kings in the kingdom for sufficient ministry to the many who are saved later [Rev 7:9-10]

Clearly then most will follow religion of sinners in this world and go the broad way [Mat 7:13] , but we know that despite on ly few being saved at Jesus' return, there are countless many saved afterward , so they must have come by the broad way [showing the falseness of modern religious belief of sinners]

Thus atonement of most is at judgment day , not at Jesus return ... clearly too most did not receive spirit baptism to be led into all truth in this life [John 16:13] so most will have baptism of the spirit after the Millennium, and Satan is released then for their baptism of fire, their trial to perfect love and be saved.

Those who reject baptism of all flesh [Joel 2:28] in the kingdom of God in the new earth will receive their baptism of fire [trial] in the 'lake of fire' , the final trial to bring the most evil and Satan himself to atonement through accepting Jesus Christ and confessing him :-

Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
