Sorry- you're not through the instruction booklet- If you acknowledge that Jesus indeed died for your sins, then certain requirements are made: hear the word, believe the word, repent,(that's the loop-hole that gets you) and confess. Some would add be baptised to this, but from my understanding- optional. That would eliminate the death bed thing-

Well the Bible says all thing are law-full but not expedient. the fact that Jesus died for our sins is not a free pass to sin however the word of God also states that we are all Born into sin and shaped in iniquity so sinning will happen the key is to have a relationship wit God and be in constant relationship with God as ask for forgiveness God's spirit will often convict you and put sin away from you also Jesus was the only man to walk the earth sinless so the minute you become sinless you must give up the ghost because Jesus is the only one to live a spotless life.

Although I know that this and all of your other questions are facetious, I felt like I had to say something about the relationship between faith and works, from a Biblical perspective.
Within Hebrew (and several other Semitic tribes/peoples), there is a concept called the Semitic Totality Concept (abbreviated as STC from here on). According to the Hebrews, man is a being, consisting of two totalities, soul and body. However, one doesn't have a soul; one IS a soul. Death was regarded as the separation of the finite body and the immortal soul.
Now, you might be asking about the relevance of this to the current discussion. A key point in the STC is that something done in only one totality is done in vain. Therefore, if you become a believer in Christ, but do not follow your belief up with the outward display of your faith, it is useless. Hence, that is why James 2 describes faith without works as dead.

You are deeply confused! You might not like that I'm telling you this but it's true! It's a very long answer I could give you but I think This Is something you should discover on your own, Read your bible or go to someone who you know that is right with the lord or talk to a pastor you can trust. This is a important issue don't screw with your salvation, eternity is never ending, You don't want to be trapped in hell! Trust me your plan of action will not turn out; It simply doesn't go that way. Also praying is a excellent way to get closer to the Lord! This Is YOUR journey; I pray you find yourself! ^_^

till now Jesus have been given right here in the flesh, we are recommended that sinners who repented have been saved by using faith in the alternative slayed animal sacrifices reported by using God. and prefer those of at modern, they mandatory to provide up sinning (that's what repenting way). the particular atonement, in spite of the undeniable fact that, took subject with superb timing on an identical time as Jesus became the suited sacrifice those animals prefigured. So till now than Jesus have been given right here, the adult men and females appeared forward to the bypass even because of the fact those after, look lower back to the atonement on the bypass. subsequently, in some way, you're maximum suitable suited: it fairly is the comparable for human beings who repent of their sins. for human beings who do no longer, there is not any sacrifice or heaven. It fairly do no longer choose mattered on an identical time as God could desire to have chosen to deliver Jesus to earth besides the fact that being gracious as he's, He gave mankind each and all of the prophecies had to help guy comprehend the real Messiah and finally end up, as quickly as as quickly as greater, that God maintains His ensures related to salvation and judgments. He could desire to no longer have made those any clearer.

The doctrine is more like, he died for the sins of all who recognize their sins as wrong, and accept his gift, attempting to follow his example.
God is not a holy vending machine of instant "forgiveness" on demand. You can't hope to ride a runaway elevator down believing that you can step off at the last moment unhurt.
Even though it was a rhetorical question, and intended to insult, I thought it deserved as serious answer as possible.

NO! Jesus died for our sins so that we might be forgiven. I think the only way God will truly forgive us if we ask for forgiveness and truly believe in our hearts that we are going to try and never do it again. You have to be truly sorry to ask for forgiveness and when you are God is always there to wipe your slate clean. He isn't asking us to be perfect, he is only asking us to try not to sin. If you honestly feel this way, I'm not sure that you would be forgiven because it wouldn't be a genuine request. Plus, you never know what may happen to you, what if you died in the middle of your glorious "life of sin" and were unable to repent?

That will not work!!!!!! You must confess your sins and repent (turn away from) them and believe that Jesus can save you and that God raised Him up from the dead.
Believing that Jesus' death was a passport to get a way with sin is foolishness, because he said,
"Not all who say to Me 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." Matthew 7:21
The devil is using that lie to deceive you. You cannot just ask Jesus to save you and let you continue in sin as you please!
You must REPENT of your sins!!!!!

Been watching the Simpsons, haven't you? ;)
I think the point is, everyone has sins, but to make it to Heaven you must truly and sincerely repent your sins. And if you keep that plan, you're consciously planning on sinning, instead of sinning by pure accident.

He died for your sins, but It is up to you to take his gift.
In order to receive this gift you need to truly be sorry about your sins, otherwise they aren't forgiven. If you beleive, you begin to want to not sin so you can be closer to God, and you try your best to stop old habits.
