What Is the Use of Anointing Oil in the New Testament Church?

1) Direct answer
Anointing oil in the New Testament Church is used as a simple, God-given ordinance for the sick. It is a sign of consecration, pointing to the Holy Spirit, while the healing itself comes through faith in the Name of the Lord Jesus and the prayer of faith.
2) Scriptural explanation
- The Bible says, “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up” (James 5:14–15).
- When the disciples were sent out, “they anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them” (Mark 6:13).
- The real anointing is the Spirit: “You have an unction from the Holy One” (1 John 2:20) and “the anointing…abides in you” (1 John 2:27). Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me” (Luke 4:18).

Those Given Life at the End That Were Not the Bride, Came from the Dead. Where They in Burning Hell While Dead?

1) Direct answer
No. Those who are given life at the end were not in the burning lake of fire while they were dead. They were in death, awaiting the general resurrection and the White Throne judgment.
2) Scriptural explanation
- Now notice, the Bible says, “The rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished” (Revelation 20:5). They were dead—awaiting the time to be raised.
- Then, “the dead, small and great, stood before God… and the dead were judged… and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them” (Revelation 20:12-13). That shows they were held in death and the unseen realm until judgment.
- Only after the judgment do the condemned go into “the lake of fire,” which the Scripture calls “the second death” (Revelation 20:14-15). So the burning lake of fire comes after the books are opened, not before.

If at the Final Judgement, Some Are Given Life Who Did Not Expect It (not The Bride), Where did They Come From?

1) Direct answer
They come from the nations who rise at the Great White Throne. They are not the Bride, but their names are found in the Book of Life, and they are granted life as the “sheep” who unknowingly served Christ by how they treated His people.
2) Scriptural explanation
- The Bride does not come to judgment. The Bible says, “He that hears and believes… shall not come into judgment” and “the saints shall judge the world” (John 5:24; 1 Corinthians 6:2).
- After the Millennium, the dead stand before God, “and the books were opened… and another book… the book of life.” Some are found written there; the rest are cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).
- Jesus described these surprised ones in Matthew 25. When He separates sheep and goats, the sheep say, “Lord, when did we see You hungry, thirsty, a stranger…?” They didn’t expect it. Yet He says, “Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to Me,” and they “go away into life eternal” (Matthew 25:31-46).

Is the Unbeliever Not Being Judged Twice - First in Burning Hell and Then Second at the Lake of Fire?

No.
It’s not two judgments.
The unbeliever is condemned already, held in a place of torment now, and then brought up for one final judgment at the Great White Throne and cast into the lake of fire—the second death.
The Bible says, “He that believeth not is condemned already” (John 3:18).
After death there is a holding place of torment—“in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments” (Luke 16:23–24)—and Scripture speaks of “spirits in prison” (1 Peter 3:19).
But the formal judgment is future: “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

Was Abraham and Lazarus in Hell Before Jesus Came and Took Them Out?

1) Direct Answer
No. Abraham and Lazarus were not in the torment of hell. They were in Paradise—“Abraham’s bosom”—a place of comfort in the lower parts of the earth, separated from the place of torment by a great gulf. After His death, Jesus descended there and then led the saints out when He rose.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Luke 16 shows two places in the unseen world: the rich man “in torments,” and Lazarus comforted in Abraham’s bosom, with “a great gulf fixed” between them. That’s not the burning hell for the righteous; it’s Paradise.
- Jesus said to the thief, “Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). He went to Paradise after death.
- He said He would be “in the heart of the earth” three days and nights (Matthew 12:40). Paul says He “descended first into the lower parts of the earth,” then “ascended up on high, He led captivity captive” (Ephesians 4:8–10).
