There is a false doctrine of PURGATORY being preached by the Catholic church. That is an utter lie. There is no purgatory. It is destined for man to die once and thereafter comes judgment. There will be no purging after that. The purging takes place before the time and if we are not purged and pure and holy the day that we die then we will certainly end up in hell.
John the baptist spoke about this purging that Jesus will do on those who believe in Him, who follow Him and who obey Him. We read in Matthew 3:11-12. John the baptist says:”“As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; HE HIMSELF WILL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE. 12“His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” He is talking about Jesus.
Those who believe in Jesus and who repent of sin, who turn away from sin, who are baptized in water and then receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit; JESUS WILL BAPTIZE THEM WITH FIRE also. He will take them through purification. He will put the FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT in you and He will BURN OUT every little bit of the flesh, love for yourself and love for sin IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT FOLLOWING HIM, if you are serious about cleansing and purifying yourself so that you will skip the fire that the chaff will go in. Those who are not willing to be purified by Jesus, through sanctification, through the Holy Spirit working in you to cleanse you, if you are not willing for that cleansing, that PURGING, then you will be burnt with the chaff, because ONCE YOU DIE YOU AWAIT JUDGMENT and ONCE YOU GO INTO THE FIRE OF HELL THERE IS NO WAY OF COMING OUT. If you are not purged and cleansed before you die, there is no second chance! You need to be purged on this side of the grave. Once you die it is final, it is finished1 That is why today is the day of salvation, today is the day of repentance! Today is the day to seek the Lord while He can still be found, to submit yourself to Him and to ask Him to put His Holy Spirit fire on you.
Sanctify yourself, purify yourself so that you can go into the Kingdom of God. He will take His wheat into his barn and then the chaff, that which is impure, that will be burnt with unquenchable fire. Hell and Hades will be cast into the lake of fire and it will be burnt with unquenchable fire, it will never stop burning. PURGATORY IS THIS SIDE. Let the Holy Spirit of God work in you to purge you. Cleanse yourself from every sin and the love of the world, so that you can be pure and holy to go into the Kingdom of God and not end up in eternal damnation.
May Jesus bless you.
