Last night I was watching "Rejoice in the Lord" telecast from Pensacola Christian College and Dr. Joel Mullenix said "only those who are faithful here on earth for the Lord will be able to eat from the Tree of Life"! I was when I heard him say that since I thought everybody in heaven will have access to the tree! Does that mean back slidden Christians that lived for the world and have no rewards to show are forbidden the fruit and forbidden to enter into the gates of the city? Check out the ending of the verse.
Any thoughts/clarification on what this verse means? Perhaps there is a better translation from the Greek than the KJV?
Revelation 22:14 KJV
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
