i asked a question before about all christians going to heaven and most people wrote back about being saved and if you are saved then you automatically go, things like that. but what about this verse:
"Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, `I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" Matthew 7:20-23
wouldn't that imply that just because you recognize jesus as your lord and savior, you still would need to be doing right to get to go to heaven?
