How many categories of people are there in the world according to the Bible?
Scripture declares there are only two categories of people in the world: those lost and hell-bound, and those saved and heaven-bound. A person is either in Christ or out of Christ. There is no halfway position between the two; the division is that simple and definite.
Les explains that most of Christendom today feels that if you do everything right, if you can hang on, you might make it, but this book never says that. Instead, it says you are in one of two categories. You are either lost and hell bound, or saved and heaven bound. Les stresses that there are only two classes of people in the world: you are either in Christ, or you are out. There is no halfway in between. He then connects this to being led by the Spirit, so that such people are the sons of God, born of God, with the Greek word technon, the born ones.
