If you answer yes to the following questions, you can be SURE you are going to HEAVEN!!

1) Have you trusted Jesus Christ to be your Savior!?
2) Have you repented of your sins and asked for forgiveness!?
3) Have you been Baptised by a BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH!?
4) Do you go to Church and fellowship with other CHRISTIANS!?

If you answer YES! You are GOING TO HEAVEN! If you answered NO!, then read on:

Read John 3:16 and realize that Jesus is the Son of God and that he loves you and died for your sins. Ask Jesus to forgive you for all of your sins and then find a BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH to attend and get BAPTISED and commune in fellowship with BORN AGAIN believers.

Remember, GOD LOVES YOU!

I am a Christian and I am not sure if you are for real or not. I know that if you are for real that you are trying to tell others about Jesus, but you have added things that are not neccessary for salvation.

Many Christians in forein countries can niether be able to get baptized or go to church and associate with others.

So your saying that they are not saved? No I am sure you didn't mean that, but when you ad works and rituals to the plan of salvation, it doesn't work.

it always helps to see what the Bible says...

"That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that god raised you from the dead, you will be saved."- Romans 10:9

"He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy."- Proverbs 28:13

"For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works so that no one can boast."-Ephesians 2:8-9

Church membership and baptism is not required for salvation, but is a good thing. It is like sybolic that you have become a Christian.

When the Bible said that you must be baptised, it was speaking of making a declaration to the world that you are a Christian.

Once you have been saved, the Bible commands you to do good deeds and to be rightious.

We do good not in order to be saved- But because we are saved.

I hope this helps, I cannot know for sure if you are real or not, i can't tell if anyones real here. But if you are who you say you are than I have a tip for you in your witnessing...

go to: wayofthemaster.com for witnessing tips and no-no's

May God bless you, I'm praying for you.

P.S. I use this Q & A place to witness all the time, be carefull there are a lot of not so desent questions here and many people here are definatly not Christian. Many here hate Christians very much.

They may say not very nice things to you, but don't let it bother you, just pray for them.

May God be with you.

First five are all yes answers but I am not going to Heaven immediately when I die. Where in the bible do you ever find that? I can tell you without you having to try to look it up. NOWHERE!!! It says you will go to the grave, hades, hell translated from the greek, and will sleep there till Jesus comes at which time He will take all His saved back to Heaven with Him. 1 Thess. 4:16-17. So I know where I will go when I die, to the grave to wait for Jesus to come back to get me to take me back with Him according to the scripture. Did you realize preachers today are telling the same lie that Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden? See for yourself in Chapter 3 where the serpent asks about the fruit that is to be eaten. God said that they would die, Satan said they would not die. Who will YOU believe? Eternal life in Hell? Not in the bible, anywhere!! Death, not eternal torture in Hell fire. Read your bible. Are you going to a bible based church? If you go to church on Sunday to worship, you are following the Catholic Church, not God. Read it for yourself in Exodus 20 among other places. What did Jesus do? Where in the bible do you get any authority for any change in the day from the seventh to the first? Give me just one place and I will give you $10,000 cash money. In fact I will even double that if you can do it in the next 24 hours. I'm from Missouri, show me!!

One can never be sure until the moment of judgement if we are going to Heaven.

Phil 2:12 tells us that we must work out our salvation in fear and trembling

Heb 6:4-6 Describes persons who have been washed in the Holy Spirit and then have fallen away.

Heb 10:26-27 tells us that if we sin after receiving the truth, judgement remains

1 Cor 10: 11-12 TELLS US THAT THOSE THINKING THEY ARE SECURE, MAY FALL

And of course we are capable of commiting mortal since until our last breath. One must be cautious about presuming on God's mercy. Humility is the best way. "Lord I am not worthy."

I'm training to become a doctor, and will save many lives in my lifetime. I will never cheat, steal, or betray those I love. If indeed God would send good people to Hell simply because they were raised a different religion or weren't sure, God does not love us. It should be about if you were a good person or a bad one, not whether you're a Christian or not. I don't know what will happen after I die, none of us do because of the obvious: none of us have been dead before. God is not beautiful, but disgusting if good people still would be sent to hell just because they aren't Christians. I'll take my chances.

I will go to the Celestial Kingdom if I live worthily of the covenants and promises I have made in the temple.
I do not believe those four questions you asked are the only steps you must take in order to reach the highest kingdom and live with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ forever. They are good steps, but not all.

Yes, I am sure I am going to heaven when my body dies. I was born again when I was 13 and that was 37 years ago now. God has never let me down in the past, and He will not let me down in the future either, because He is the eternal faithful God, who changes not.

So by your questions, if Mother Theresa had lived her life the way she did with the only change being she was an atheist and Ted Bundy had been baptized and repented his sins and asked for forgiveness and such, then which one would have went to heaven? It would have been Ted Bundy and this is my problem with religion.

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes, but I dont believe it is required for Heaven.
4) No. My faith, my spiritual walk with God, and my place in Heaven can not be reserved through Church, but rather through Christ alone.

And Yes, I am going to heaven.

Thank you for trying to spread God's love. I am so sorry for some of the lost souls who have answered your question.

Allyson,know that God loves you whether you acknowledge His existence or not.

And to the lame guy who said that the bible tells us not to go to church, you should read your bible more often.

I guess I am going straight down, because I hate preachy folks like yourself. I don't feel the need to ask Jesus or anyone else for forgiveness for being who I am. If I act a certain way, it is because God made me this way anyhow.
