"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven" Matt. 10.32). Jesus asked, "Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord' and not do the things which I say?" (Luke 6.46). We are to share the gospel to others. They "went about preaching the word" (Acts 8.4). Not only is a person unsaved and going to Hell if they deny Jesus before others, but also by simply not confessing Jesus publically to others Jesus denies you before His Father.
I also said, "Let's say you are standing next to James, Peter, John, Paul, and you say as you said to me, 'I don't care about anyone to give them the gospel, let them believe what they want'." Since this is not the same gospel of the Bible, I said, "Where in the Bible does even one Christian have this attitude? You are not a Christian." She said, "Fine then, I am not a Christian." I told her, "The Bible says non-Christians go to Hell." She conceded what the Bible says and I shed a tear for her.
I showed Jesus would be a liar or lunatic if he wasn't God. She said evasively "everyone knows that." I said, "if everyone knows that then why isn't everyone saved?" She said, "who cares what people believe". I said, "how is that Christian not to care for others with the gospel?" She said, "that's how I have always been"-selfish! I said, "Jesus said if you are ashamed of me and don't confess me to others, I will deny you before my Father unto salvation". It was then she admitted she was unsaved!
The reason she is unable to come out of the world (baptized) is because she is unwilling to confess the Lord Jesus towards others even her only children, not caring that they are going to Hell, including sisters, brothers, parents, friends, associates, etc. The Bible says we shall know them by their fruits. Jesus said He did not come into the world to bring families together but to tear them apart, for believers in Christ have the love of Christ to let family members know they are going to Hell.
When I got saved my mother called me "fanatical" even screamed over it. She did not rejoice. Never once did she mention Jesus my entire life. As the years went by I tried to lead her to Christ, but she would not listen. She professed reincarnation and universalism. Later on she ended up saying she was saved when she was a little girl, yet never cares to lead anyone to Christ, does not fellowship and tears down the gospel. What does Jesus say? (Matt. 10.32-33, 16.16-17; Mark 8.38; Acts 8.36-37).

I wanted to preserve this experience I had for posterity that it may benefit others and for me to remember and not forget.
