The people of Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim did as Rahab had done. They heard of the one true God and His mighty deeds (Joshua 9:24), feared for their lives, and sought favor. Now their actions were deceitful hence the sentence upon them to be hewers of wood and carriers of water.
However, such persons must still come face to face with the Lord, honestly. This can be done through the only true mediator between God and man, Christ Jesus. The warning is this: false converts will not inherit the Kingdom of God, no matter what labor they see themselves under.
