The Rod: Will God Spare It? An Exhaustive Study of Temporary Punishment For Unfaithful Christians at the Judgment Seat and During the Millennial Kingdom by J D Faust and published by Classics.
This book is a defence of eternal security, and, at the same time, an antidote for carnal Christianity in our churches. It also offers tons of rare excerpts from premillennialists in regard to the Judgment Seat of Christ throughout history. This book deals with the numerous warnings in the Bible to Christians. It covers such subjects as the Judgment Seat of Christ, hell, outer darkness, Millennial exclusion, etc. It shows that, although Christians cannot lose eternal salvation, there is MUCH that they can lose. They can be temporarily punished at the Judgment Seat and miss the Millennial Kingdom.
This is not the same as a Catholic purgatory. Purgatory is a perversion of this Biblical and historical teaching of premillennialists. This book shows that a majority of premillennialists throughout history have believed that the Millennium is conditional, and is not a gift that is given to every Christian. It is a prize. This book offers a whole section of rare excerpts from popular and less known premillennialists throughout history on the subject of Christian accountability.
