QUES. 31.-Are the wicked dead in a conscious or unconscious state between death and the resurrection of the unjust?

ANS.-Read Luke 16 :22-31, and see there what the Lord Jesus has said about it. Soul-sleepers and annihilationists have tried their wits at explaining this scripture away, but there it stands, declaring in the plainest terms the condition of the wicked between their death and their resurrection.

QUES. 32.-Is it true, as I hear some teach here, that all true Christians have a right to the Lord's table?

ANS.-No, it is not true. 1 Cor. 5 is proof of this. The Lord holds the Church responsible to refuse fellowship to all who would corrupt it.

QUES. 33.-What is the difference between love and fellowship?

ANS.-Love is the very nature of the life which all believers possess in Christ, and flows out from it to all the children oi God, even if their walk is not good. Fellowship flows both from that life and the manner in which we walk as possessors of it.

God loved men-all men-enough to give His Son for them; but only those who are reconciled have fellowship with Him.

The Lord's table is the place both of love and fellowship, and that is why, as in answer to your former question, not all Christians can be admitted to it; for some Christians walk unworthy of their calling, and by it destroy fellowship, though they are still to be loved.
