"... a life of eternal and incomparable bliss awaits a faithful servant of God... yet only the true servants who remained patient and faithful in obeying the commandments of God until the end are assured and given by God the exclusive right to dwell therein: 'Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, 'Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on..'' (Rev. 24:12-13 King James Version, emphasis ours).
"The Bible is very specific as to who the blessed servants are--those "who die in the Lord."
"The sheep that Christ recognizes are His own are those who are in His flock; "and other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. (John 10:16, Ibid.)
"It may seem a little harsh teaching that there is only one "flock" or one true Church and only the members thereof are recognized by Christ as His true servants, but this is the very truth recorded in the Holy Scriptures... follow the Savior by entering the flock or the fold which is the Church Of Christ: 'If anyone serves Me, let his follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also...' (John 12:26, NKJV).
"God promised that , 'A faithful man will abound with blessings' and the greatest blessing is 'the corwn of life' (Prov. 28:20, NKJV; Rev. 2:10, Ibid.)"
