MARK 9:38-40

Jesus commands His disciples to
disregard the use of His name by "out-siders":


John said to Him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to hinder him because he was not following us." But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who shall perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. For he who is not against us is for us."

Mark 9:38-40 (NASB)


In the judgment there are those "out-siders" who have been employing His name lawlessly, but have not been forbidden the use.


"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me you who practice lawlessness.'"

Matt. 7:22, 23 (NASB)
