This question can not and should not be answered yes or no. First you have to believe Jesus is your Savior, and then you can be saved by God's Grace. If you don't do this, no Grace. That's the trouble. People don't want the whole plan. They just want an easy way in. There is no easy way. You have to work and work hard at it. It is not easy to be a Christian, and I think that is why so many people are lost. They are too busy "doing their own thing".

Yes to comply with your request for a yes or no only. Why no because from my view God does own it all and He has the right to decide who will be where and who will do what. For me He is the Boss.
By your comments I perceive you do not seem to grasp the conditions of grace set forth and how grace is extended to those who do desire the grace to apply to them. See it as a free meal and you have the option to eat or not eat. God provided the meal and Jesus is the justification for the provisions and the money used to pay for the free meal offered to you. Along with that Jesus ate it already and because He was first, God said to Jesus that anyone that asks you to get the free meal and you allow to eat I will allow to eat.
Smile and think about that for a while and do have a great day.

it is not any longer literal, at the same time as the Bible says that Jesus develop into God's son, that meant that it develop into God because he develop into despatched as flesh to develop right into a commoner to evangelise the be conscious. merely because the holy spirit is likewise God, that would not meant they're 3 separate beings. And the reason you could't discover everywhere in the Bible that persons will live on the earth perpetually is because it is not any longer in the Bible. in reality, the e book of Revelations is all about the Earth burning up and being thoroughly destroyed with suggestions from hearth because this Earth will be lengthy previous. Staying the following is something Jehovah's witness made up hun. enable me wager, you do not belive in Christmas both? Get a existence and get a real Bible. also, there is not any the position in the Bible that announces you'll bypass to heaven for being sturdy. actually it says "no guy shall enter the dominion of heaven for sturdy deed or works" get it immediately.

If you ask Jesus to save you then God is shedding His Grace on you because God in His Mercy is giving you strength so that you by your strength can now call on God.

God decided long ago to extend his grace to everyone (see John 3:16). Each individual must make up his or her own mind to accept that grace. Accepting that grace is all one can, or need, do to get into Heaven.

God knows everything, including who is going to hell and who is going to heaven. He has always known insofar as he knows everything that will ever happen, including everything he is going to do in the infinite future. He already knows you are going to hell before he creates you, so at what point does he extend his grace to save you from what he already knows will happen? And, since he always knew to whom he would extend these priviledges an infinity before he created them, then you can only say that that person was predestined to be 'saved'.

Technically, the answer would be yes to your question, but God loves you and would never stop seeking "that which was lost".
"The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9) He doesn't want anyone to go to hell.
"...there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." (Luke 15:7)

Do you want the truth, or an easy-believism answer?
God's grace is abundant, and will freely save all who call on His name in truth. Most people though, don't. They want to purchase fire insurance.
If you are sick of your sin, and want to be free from the bondage of it, you can call to Jesus, and He will freely forgive you. But if you want to continue in your sin, then nothing has changed in your heart, and you are still in your sin.
