(*smiling*) I have some exciting news for you....
I am sure you must have heard this: "And at judgement day, while some people shall have stars in their crowns depending on how many souls they won for Christ, others that didn't lead any soul to heaven shall have none(i.e, no stars in their crowns)". Guess what? It's unbiblical, that is, there's nothing like that in the Bible...
The Only time "stars in the crown" is mentioned is in Revelations 12 vs 1-2(NLT): "Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth." And it has nothing to do with Soul-winning...
The verse mostly confused as "stars in the crown" is Daniel 12:3(NLT), which says: "Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever." As you can see, there's no mention of "stars in the crown".
I know that you might find this rather unsettling because you have heard "stars in the crown" all your life(Don't worry, I also felt the same way). The only crowns promised to us at the judgment are(in no particular order): 1. The Crown of Life (Rev. 2:10, NLT) 2. The Crown of Righteousness (2 Tim. 4:8, NLT) 3. The Crown of Glory (1 Peter 5:4, NLT) 4. The Imperishable/Incorruptible Crown (which is also known as The Victor's Crown, 2 Tim. 2:5, NIV & 1 Cor. 9:25, NKJV) 5. The Crown of Rejoicing (1 Thess. 2:19, KJV) Checking through all of these, there's no mention of "stars in the crown"...
"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32,NLT) #Scriptural truths...Shalom!
