I am a Christian. We are no better than anyone else. We don't proclaim to be self righteous. We are sinners saved by grace. The only difference between us and non-believing is we have accepted the free gift of salvation. God loves you and everyone else as much as he loves Christians. Jesus died for sinners. \nWe admit we are not perfect. We will not be perfect till after we are risen from the dead. Difference is we try to live a Christ like life. In the end we will all be judged for every deed we do and every idle word we speak.

I don't necessarily believe in the whole Christianity heaven/hell concept, but if I did, I would say that where you go after death depends on what's in your heart, not what comes out of your mouth, or where you spend your Sundays. I can't imagine that God would find much good in the hearts of Hitler or the other fellows you mention. I think a good hearted Pagan or Jew or Muslim or Buddhist or whatever has a better shot at heaven than a bad person who states they accept Jesus. I think people worry a lot more about labels (like Christian, or Jew, etc.) than God does.

No.  Christians believe Christ came for all, therefore you would be welcome, as someone who was saved.  There would be hope that you would come to believe.

I agree. i think that they are mad at us christians b/c we preach to them, they get mad at me for saying this sometimes: I know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.c...

To get into heaven we must confess our belief in Jesus Christ, that He died on the cross for our sins. To live a Christian life is to do our best to behave as Christ would, living by His Golden Rule ... Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. If we live a life of loving service to others we are setting the best example of Christianity. Many people are turned off by the "holier than thou" example set by some Christians. That's why we are condemned. Live life like Christ and there will be less condemnation and more believers.

Everyone DOES NOT go to heaven!!!\n\nMat 7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. \n\nMat 23:28  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. \n\n2Ti 2:19  Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. \n\nDid 2pac confess Christ and reject iniquity?...that's the question

There is no exception. The only ones who will make it to heaven without salvation are ones who are not able to understand or comprehend the things about God. Those who can understand are held accountable. We can know that a God exists without being told about Him because of nature, conscience, and history.If you want to learn more on this, read BIBLE DOCTRINES FOR TODAY from the A BEKA BOOK company. This particular subject can be found on pg.89 - 94. Rene Descartes, the Father of modern philosophy, stated a basic proposition: "I think, therefore I am". In the DISCOURSE ON METHOD he wrote and develops his proof for the existence of God. (You don't have to believe what he wrote.Every Christian needs to form their own interpretation of the Bible because no one will ever know if another person is right in their interpretation of the Bible.)

I am a Christian.  The Bible says believing in Christ is the only way to be redeemed.  \n\nJesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."\n\nJohn, ch. 14, vs. 6; NIV

There really is not just one simple answer to that. Most people of a religious nature believe that they will go to heaven when they die but this simply is not so, the Bible clearly shows that only 144,000 persons from all the different peoples, nations, and tongues will go to heaven to serve as priests of God and as associate kings with Jesus Christ and rule over the earth for Christ's Millennial Reign Revelation 14:1-3, all persons who die become non-existent and sleep in death waiting for a resurrection that Jesus taught Ecclesiastes 5:9,10 John 5:28, those who are resurrected that are not of the 144,000 will be resurrected back to life on earth which is to be restored back to paradise and everything will be brought back to perfection and we have everlasting life here if we pass the final test when Satan is released from the abyss  Psalms 37:11,29. There are people living today that will never see death as they will be survivors of Armageddon as we are deep into the time of the end and Armageddon is near. We do not have an immortal soul but are a soul Genesis 2:7 and the soul dies Ezekiel 18:4, there is no such thing as reincarnation. Hell is nothing more than the common grave of mankind and it is to be emptied of all in it  Revelation 20:13.

I like your question so much. Thank you for asking this question...!\n\nWell First thing is nobody is good and perfect but again thats what the difference between we people and the GOD.\n\nThe second thing is If the person is good and trying to live as good person. Then he is already in heaven. And he will go in heaven no matter if he accept Jesus as his "Savior" or not.  Currently I have seen many peoples who are making money on the name of JESUS.  They are trying to divert the people in wrong way for their own benifits. They are telling them self as "Christians"!!! But I belive that Christians means what? Christians means follower of Christ is it correct? Every Christians read the Holy Bible. Every sunday and the day of service in the Church they read bible hours and hours. But who really trying to think and follow the way of Jesus.?? Jesus lived for others, for society, he tried to feed the people, helped the poor people, helped the sick people. I am born by Hindu, from India. I been going in Church but after that I noticed. They not even talk or think in the church that ok, lets do something towards this poverty out of this multimillions dollars funds of the Church. Lets try to help give the job who really needs. Lets try to find the people who are hospitalised and needy and ask them what they needs and spend our fund for them. To accept by MOUTH that Jesus is my SAVIOR will lead u to heaven? That means you just accept one sentence? thats it? \n\nBut a person who is really trying to live good way, he alrady accepted Jesus by heart, just may not be accepted by mouth. So he will go to heaven before all above people I described. \n\nAnd not only that I guess Jesus is smiling by watching these church meetings, ARRANGED prayers, services and he is thinking that THESE ALL MY CHRISTIANS WHO ARE SO PERFECT IN SERVICE IN CHURCH JUST FORGOT WHAT I DID IN MY LIFE. \n\nSo in short, Good person will go to heaven that is no doubt and the people will get shock when JESUS HIM SELF PULL HIS HAND TO TAKE HIM INTO HEAVEN.\n\nThanks.\n\nP.S. Please dont take this as wrong. This is what the reality is. I belive in Jesus but it gives pain more when we all forgot that how he lived? and What he did when he was here?

I will do my best to answer your questions.  Yes, we consider ourselves Christians.  We accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer.  No, we do not teach that only Mormons go to heaven.  We believe that people will be judged by the knowledge they have.  Thus, if someone grows up without having the word of God, they are only judged by what they were taught in life.\n\nWhen you say "to be saved" do you mean "go to heaven"?  The answer to that question is that, no, we do not think that people have to believe in the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith to go to heaven.  We are taught that good people will go to heaven.  However, in our religion we are also taught that there are different degrees of heaven.  The better you do on earth, the higher up you go.  The highest degree of heaven is what we call the "Celestial Kingdom".  To get there, we believe that we must accept the gospel of Jesus Christ (and that includes believing in the Book of Mormon and that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God).\n\nThose who are not Mormon can still go to heaven.  And we believe that after this life, people who have died without the chance to hear the gospel will get the chance to hear it in the next life.  And that in the next life, they will have the choice to accept it or reject it.

There are no religions in heaven. Everyone who believes in God and HIS only son jesus christ, everyone who believe in HIS love, that HE sent HIS son to us to guide and teach us, that HE died to erase the sins of those who believe in HIM, and the ones who follow his wishes and live to serve HIM and teach others about HIS love and forgiveness, those are the ones who get to go to heaven.\nGod didn't send HIS only son for christians or jews, but for every human being on this earth, for HE loves us all, no matter what we did or who we are, as long as we believe in HIM and ask HIM for redemption.\nEveryone believes their religion is the right one, but notice that they all believe in one GOD. So if you believe in HIM and do what you're asked to do - to love - you will get to heaven.

I am a Christian and I believe that God loves ALL people and that yes, Gays will go to Heaven. It doesn't matter what their sexual preference is. As long as they are good people they will find themselves in Heaven when they die.

No. Because we are told in Proverbs that mans heart is decietful above all else.\nAlso if we try to get to heaven by doing something good our selves, we are wasting our time, as that is what all religions teach.  The Bible tells us that Jesus paid in full, the price on the cross.  Neither is  there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men, wherby we must be saved.  Acts 4:12\nBut we are all as an unclean thing and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6\nSo there is NO WAY we can save ourselves, only Christ can do that, "For by grace ye are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9\nAll have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

BigRedPower,\n\nIf those are mortal sins, then I’ll be the only 1 in heaven. (Just kidding.)\n\nIn the Old Testament law there were lots of sins. In our day, the New Testament has only 1 mortal sin. Let me explain briefly:\n\nAll people have sinned – except me of course. (Just kidding again.) God is holy – without any form of evil or sin in His thoughts or His motives or His actions. No one can be in God’s presence – heaven – with sin or impurity of any kind.\n\nGod planned to send Jesus to the earth to make it possible for everyone to spend eternity in heaven with God. It would take too long to explain every detail of God’s plan, but very briefly, Jesus died in our place. He never did anything wrong, and He died to pay the penalty for our sin. Jesus’ blood is the thing that washes sin away. You don’t have to understand that, but that’s how it works in a nutshell.\n\nNow if you ask Jesus to forgive you and wash your sin away and agree to follow His example and His Word you’re in!\n\nRejecting Jesus offer of forgiveness is the only mortal sin today. I trust that helps, but I tried to be very brief, so if you have more questions feel free to ask.\n\nGod bless.
