Jesus' rebuke of the scribes and Pharisees PROVES that one should not
try to CONFUSE religious zeal and an aggressive global pursuit of
converts with the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. He said their activity
would succeed only in making their proselytes "twice as much a child of
hell as yourselves".
No one should CONFUSE the mere fact that people are out aggressively
proclaiming a message, with the idea they MUST BE God's chosen people
doing the will of God on earth. These people were the satanically
manipulated, "hypocritical" antichrists whose claimed "sincere" efforts
led men to become TWICE the children of eternal conscious torment in the
lake of fire as they themselves were.

“Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born
again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”” (John 3:3, ESV)
No one gets into God's kingdom without first being "born again". John
shows this is through faith in Christ's death and resurrection for our
sins (John 3:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Persevering and enduring
hardship to the end are EVIDENCE that one has been saved by faith, not a
condition unregenerate men have meet to earn salvation.

idem.
Observe that you are not asking "where are the people who are out
proclaiming the true, saving gospel?" You're asking where are the people
who say "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out
demons in your name, and done many wonders in Your name?", and who then
hear Christ telling them depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness
(Mt. 7:22, 23).
Who are the people who think they're doing God a favor but who are
really doing the work of Satan by promoting a false gospel which will
lead men to eternal, conscious torment in the lake of fire? "ANYONE"
(Galatians 1:8-9) who proclaims "ANY OTHER GOSPEL" (emphasis mine) than
the one Paul preached (Galatians 1:8-9; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans
1:16; 10:17): Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, was
buried, and rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures.
Justification comes through faith in Christ alone, not by our works
(Galatians, Romans, Ephesians).
This would include "Jehovah's Witnesses". They don't even preach the
necessity of Christ's atonement for men's sins. They claim men's own
death pays for them. You CLEARLY promote the kind of "evangelistic zeal"
which leads men to bypass the saving gospel to become twice the children
of eternal conscious torment in the lake of fire as you will become. You
proclaim a legalistic gospel of merit rather than salvation by grace,
through faith in Christ. No one has the internal power of the indwelling
Holy Spirit to enter into or obey the Kingdom of God, until He has first
been "born again" through faith in Christ's death and resurrection as
the only (John 14:6) and all-sufficient (Hebrews 10:14) atonement for
his sins (Romans 3:23-25).
> If it isn't JW's who are fulfilling Mt 24:14
LIE #1 "JW's" are fulfilling Matthew 24:14. They are not. They promote
religious, legalistic zeal just like the scribes and Pharisees. Their
aggressive, global outreach is calculated by Satan to deny the need for
Christ's death and resurrection as the atonement for men's sins, so as
to make men the TWOFOLD children of the lake of fire as they are. They
promote a FALSE, DAMNED gospel which denies Christ (Galatians 1:8-9).
LIE #2 "No one else" is fulfilling Matthew 24:14. I and EVERY church I
have EVER ATTENDED has done it, not only locally, but by supporting
international missionaries who proclaim the gospel.
LIE #3 It's okay to IGNORE what the epistles say about the gospels and
FREE-LANCE interpret on my own, since incomplete revelation makes it
easier to twist the truth.
Sound hermeneutics doesn't just free-lance interpret the gospels apart
from what Christ revealed to the apostles by the Holy Spirit. Jesus said
He had many things to tell the disciples for which they were not then
ready, but that He would first send the Holy Spirit to guide them into
"all truth" (John 16:12-13). The Spirit arrived at Pentecost (Acts
2:1-4). The epistles to the churches are the additional, divinely
inspired commentary on and application of the gospels as they pertain to
those living in this church era (2 Timothy 3:16-17; cf. 1 Peter 3:15-16;
Revelation 1-4).
The Epistles clearly show that God temporarily set the nation of Israel
aside for unbelief (Romans 11:20), so that He could open the door of
salvation to the Gentiles (Romans 10-11). He said that this door of
salvation would be open until the "fullness of the Gentiles be come in"
