This is what I'm confused about. People (mainly Christians I suppose), say that if you believe in Jesus Christ then you can be saved and go to heaven.
These are my assumptions:
-A person can renounce their current beliefs at any time, truly believe in Jesus Christ and be saved
-heaven is a good place to be; better then earth really. So all of your life before death is meaningless when you consider heaven. It is just a means to an end.
-After you die, you presumbably have some awareness or capacity for understanding (otherwise why would care about heaven at all if you wouldn't notice one way or the other)
So, if a person can renounce their current beliefs at any time, and if all of a person's conscious life is merely a test (if you will) to get into heaven and a person's consciousness continues after death, couldn't they die and then realize that they were wrong and God did exist and renounce their beliefs then?
