Do you believe you're going to heaven?  Why or why not?

I dont believe im going to heaven--i KNOW im going to heaven. If i were to die this very second i would go to heaven. It's an awesome feeling, and great to know. \nJust in case u dont know...The reason im going to heaven is NOT because of the "good" things ive done. It's because Jesus died on the cross for my sins. We are all sinners, and need God's forgiveness. Repent of these sins, and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and you will be saved...It's an awesome thing. I am still a sinner, but i have Jesus to back me up!\nThank God!

Well, I used to wonder the exact same thing...\nUntil I realized I would never find answers that would PROVE everything. Do I believe in God, yes. But, I've come to realize the whole concept of heaven and hell is just to much for me. After all, nobody really knows what happens after death, only the people who experience it. So, I guess we'll all know when we get there. I hope and I believe there is a heaven...although the concept of living for all eternity, once again, is too much for me. This is just my experience with it all. \nMy advice...find which religion works best for you, have faith in that religion, live your life and enjoy it, and be the best person you can be. \nI hope that all made sense. It's starting to get late and I'm extremely tired. lol. I wish you the best of luck and may you find the journey best for you!

Yes I know without a doubt that I will go to heaven because the Bible says in John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He  gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  In 1st John 5:13 the Bible says, "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you maycontinue to believe in the name  of the Son of God." And in Romans 10:9, "That is you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

As with every hypothetical situation I will answer with what I would hope my response would be (whether I would or not can't be answered without actually experiencing the situation). Having said that, my answer would unequivocally be yes - I will eventually have eternity to spend in Heaven with God and all His glory, so I would welcome the opportunity to return to earth on a mission to save others. Christ was willing to do it - how could I be any less willing?

Please take my 'do you doeserve to go to heaven ?' test.\nDo you think you are a good person?\nHave you keep the 'Golden Rule' or in essence the ten commandments?.\nThis is Gods law and his standard, can you measure up?\nIf so how many have you kept ? ,lets try a few,\nHave you ever told a lie? I,m gonna guess you said yes to this one, every one has told a lie at some point in there lives.\nWhat would that make you , a liar ,right?\nHave you ever stolen anything even something small ?\nI'm gonna guess yes to this one also,every one I know has stolen something at some point in their lives, I know I have.\nWhat would that make you , and me?\na thief,right?\nSo by your own admission (if you are being honest with yourself ) you are a thieving liar.Now before you say that if you steel once it doesn't really make you a thief, then ask yourself this, how many times must a man rape to be known as a rapist.\nSo if you were to die right now ,as that thieving liar and what ever else you may be, and were judged by God(assuming you don't believe he exists,just imagine for a second )\nwould you be found innocence or guilty.Would you deserve heaven or hell?\nI know myself that I should be found guilty.\nIt is because we are all guilty that we deserve hell ,\nbut God is not willing that any should perish,he does not want this to be any ones fate,so what did he do?\nThat is why he sent Jesus.When Jesus died he took the punishment we deserve for  the wrong things we do.\nThe bible says that it is, a  free gift of God ,not of works ,so that no man may boast. this means that good works are not going to get you to heaven,that God offers you this gift of not haveing to pay for your sin, if you simply admit to him you are a sinner , ask for his forgivness and tell him that you want the free gift of salvation he is offering.It is as simple as that.\nSome people are going to read this and laugh and say ' there goes another Bible basher trying to 'save' us all'\nBut how do you know the Bible unless you read it, nowhere in the Bible does it say, that if you be good you can get to heaven.\nAnd if everyone is being honest ,and if they are going to be judged as guilty then they do indead need to be saved.\nThe Bible says that there is' no name under heaven(Jesus' name)  , given to men, by which you must be saved'

I would still try to do good.  It is not really about heaven or hell.  It is about loving God and people.  If that sends me to hell, then I am there!!!!

Im not sure what I would say. I have always been under the impression that there isnt anything that I could say for God to allow me into heaven. I was taught that my actions in life would be what would determine if I would go to heaven so I do not think that God is going to give me a chance to argue my reasoning against hes at the entrance of the Pearly Gates

I don't know a lot about Bible, especially the Catholic one, but I agree believe it feels better to believe that heaven exists than not to believe. It doesn't have to be true, the important thing is that it makes you feel better. You believe God exists (or some people believe), you believe love exists, friendship, compassion, hate, anger, all these things are here only psychologically, you don't see them, you can't prove their existence, still you probably believe in them. It's nice to believe in good things.

good question. i would rather suffer a painful death, because i believe i'm going to heaven after i die. so it all works out happy in the end.

Absolutly not! It pains me to think of people going to hell. Even some people who have gotten on my last nerve, I don't revel in the final destiny if they are not saved. It pains me to no end.\n\nWe recently had a friend of the family pass away, and I do not know if she was saved or not.

I believe God gives us the desire to live, or wouldn't we all be committing suicide just to get to Heaven? I am not afraid of death, although I do enjoy my family and want to stay here as long as the Lord will let me.  I have faith in Jesus as my Savior. He paid for my sins with His blood and my faith in what He did for me at Calvary gets me to Heaven. Nothing that I can do - could do that.

False. If you want heaven, you have to run for it...\n\n"Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as laying hold of it yet, but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" - Philippians 3\n\n"Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able." - Luke 13:24\n\n"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win." - 1 Corinthians 9:24\n\nThere are many other verses to this nature. God is not an idiot. He will not be mocked. Heaven is His abode. If someone expects to be in His presence they must allow the person of Christ to sanctify them. This is a work that takes some time and experience.

Maybe.\n\nIf there is a heaven or hell.  which way are you going?\nYou KNOW this, or just wish it?\n\nNo I have not had visions. Jesus & Devil. You can't believe in one and not the other.\n\nHave a good week.

You can go to heaven if you die.  Yes I believe in ghosts.

If you read the whole Bible, you'll probably stop believing in Heaven.  That is if you read it with an open mind.\n\n\n\nNotice all the people saying you don't have to read the Bible to get into Heaven.  If that was the case why would people have spent so much time writing the instruction manual?  How can you believe in something you know nothing about?  If the only verse you know is John 3:16, I'm pretty sure you're a lost soul.  But beware, if you do read it you'll probably see it for the book of fables it truly is.

If you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is your Savior, then you go to heaven.  If you don't, then you go to hell.\n\nIt's just that simple, and sad for those that don't believe.

Everlasting life? Isn't that what we are promised by God? It's sort of the same as asking "Do you or Would you believe" \nI believe I would. There are certain people who absolutely LOVE life. Everything about it, even the pain and suffering that comes with it. There is beauty in everything. I am one of those people. I LOVE to learn. I learn everything I can all the time. I will always learn and grow and never tire of life or what it has to offer. I would welcome the opportunity to live forever. \nDeath is part of the plan, a process in the journey of our souls. Just like birth, adolescence or graying hair. It may be the end, or the beginning depending on how you see it. But it is inevitable either way.
