    No you can't
    Your opinion of who God is might be slightly different than my own, same with salvation.

    As while salvation is a gift that God gives to His own, I don't believe everyone will be saved, nor do I believe salvation is a magic sentence that you say in order to get into heaven. I believe the magic sentence people will be those whom Jesus said will say Lord Lord did I not prophecy in Your Name, to which He will say, I NEVER knew you, away from me evildoers..

    This says a lot..it says, there are people who prophecy and even work miracles who believe they are saved so much they will argue they belong in heaven. Yet.. they aren't saved.. Jesus NEVER knew them..

    When you are saved, it's so much more than a sentence, Jesus enters your heart, you become filled with the Holy Spirit, and these two events changes your entire life, and it shows, and shows naturally.

    Revelation shows many things.. first, it shows us who are enemy is, and it's not the George Soros's of the world, it's our own selves..

    Jesus came to set us free from sin.. free is free indeed. We are no longer slaves to sin.. we are free of the bonds of sin.

    So we have something to overcome.. sin. We have something to fight, it's our own nature which is at odds with His nature.

    What is sin? Anything that we put before Him, anything that we are a slave to.. What is worship? Putting something first before anything else.. it's a love that puts that thing first.. this is why people are said to worship money, it's possible to worship inanimate things due to their sheer importance in our hearts and minds.

    The number of the beast IS the number of man.. not the number of A man.. but man.. our greatest enemy is ourselves.. often, we worship ourselves..

    We are the temple of the living God.. we aren't waiting for a third temple, we ARE the temple of God.. the picture is beautiful when we all, from the first to the last of people who are and will be saved, make up that temple..

    That temple is finished, with the very last soul God creates who will be saved in their lifetime, upon their salvation.

    It's not a temple built with hands, it's not made from rock and stone.. We are the temple of the living God.. it's not a temple that can be destroyed, it's not a temple that Satan can prevail against, because it exists in the Kingdom of God - a Kingdom not of this world. (Live in the world, without being of the world) it's gates are always open, it's light is the light of God and it is never dark there..

    So long as people look for worldly things, they are lost - and they will never see the end coming, because they are looking in the exact wrong direction.

    I'm sure they will try to recreate that roadmap they so wish for.. but it cannot prevail, because it's from man, and not God..

    God gave us a road map, and it's signs cannot be recognized when your looking for His Kingdom in the wrong place.
    I think were both are saying the same thing in different words. Though I understand scripture as saying to me. God does the work in us what we do is submit to His will. The foundation of Salvation is IN Jesus and what He done not what I done or will do.

    My knowledge of what God is and I admit to it being very limited, can be said in a few words "God is God of redemption". Yet He is so much more but our finite mind can't comprehend the fullness of God until we put on the fullness of the only begotten Son Jesus.

    Whether its Soro's or anyone else we see that is only the physical form the spirit is house in, not all spirits are of God. Unless we received the gift of discerning spirit which is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit there is no way to know who they are.

    Gift of discerning spirit is given to believers for service in the body of Christ.

    Yes, (in response to part I bolded of what you said)but until we have looked inward, and worked with the Holy Spirit on us, our sins, we cannot clearly see/discern the spirit of others.

    As Jesus said, How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

    To us, the sins of others are glaring, while our own sins are nothing to us.. just small things. But we cannot see clearly while still mired in sin, we cannot effectively help anyone still mired in sin, and often, our own sins are worse than those whom we criticize..

    For any sight to be effective, and tell us something true, we need first, to look inward and work with the Holy Spirit to first overcome our own sins.. then, what is true and false, what is right and wrong, and what kind of a spirit others have will be very clear to us.

    The gifts of God produce fruit when our lives truly reflect that we are the children of God.

    Sorry I don't work with the Holy Spirit the teacher, I submit to Him. God gets all the glory.

    Hebrews 8:11-13
    …11 No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12 For I will forgive their iniquities, and remember their sins no more.” 13 In speaking of a new covenant,

    I don't have to look no further then myself to see a sinner (wrong thinking). I'm a sinner by nature. As you quoted above "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." If I'm a sinner who I'm I to judge anyone. Though I can discern the spirit of man by measuring it against the word of God.

    Ephesians 6:12
    "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
