I grew up in a church that had a strong Revelation focus and came up with some very strong positions. As God would have it, we (my wife and I) met people who would ask us questions.

• We are all children of God and He loves us with all His heart. If that is the case why do we have to go through judgment and possibly not get into Heaven?
