And how does the christian conjoined twin deal with this verse?
2CO 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Very interesting. I had never thought of that before.
Considering the fact that our spirits go to Heaven and not our bodies, the believer would go to Heaven and the non-believer would not since being conjoined is a physical characteristic and not spiritual. In Heaven, as will all other believers, the believer would have a new and glorified body which would be perfect.
As for not being yoked together with unbelievers, I believe that Paul is talking about choosing to not closely associate with unbelievers (ie. business partners, spouse...) In the situation of conjoined twins, that is a physical characteristic which they have no choice over, so it would not apply to them.
Hope that helps, but as I mentioned, that is only my thoughts on it. Good one though.

with a bit of luck the two will flow to heaven. If no longer, God is conscious a thank you to deal with it. If the two flow to heaven; they may well be separated for the 1st time. What a great day which would be. in the event that they are something alike; possibly the single that doesn't have self belief would be convert by utilising the guy who's a believer. Or, by utilising somebody else. that provides the associates and relatives some thing considerable to maintain of their prayers. I pray top now that the conjoined twins in question here, will flow to heaven and be with the rest people. Lord, please touch his/her heart and allow the Holy Spirit to flow into into the soul. Amen.

god doesn't care about earthly things like bodies and flesh - "this too shall pass"...it's the soul that counts, and in a conjoined twin - it's like one body with two souls.
and that passage doesn't literally mean "yoked together"...like obviously christians and non christians don't just stick together physically like glue.
you'll probably find that conjoined twins are either both christian or both nonchristian b/c hanging around each other all day long, they've got to have an effect on each other so that they believe in many of the same things.

No, I don't believe that both will go to heaven if one is saved. It is basically the same as two non-conjoined twins, two brothers, two sisters, a Father and Son, Mother and Daughter etc.

creative christianity--an oxymoron? in the words of a very intelligent observer of the fundamentalist scene, the scriptures of the three desert religions lend themselves to whatever interpretation suits the leadership's agenda. no truer words... attention, fundamentalists, give it a rest. many of us have triple digit i.q.s, o.k. we're not going for your entry level, inane drivel. "born again" is fine if you want to believe it, but the multi millions of humans who preceded this trivia, and died while things were still happily b.c. are just doing fine in "heaven" without it. got it? the only kudos i can offer christian and jewish fundamentalism is that, for the most part, unlike the islamist type, murdering non-believers is not yet aceptable merely because of their non belief. the radical islamists are in a (low) class of their own and will have to be appropriately dealt with. finally, everyone gets to go where they deserve when they 'die" and it's decided based on their "frequency/vibrational level" not their church affiliation. amen :-)

They counter it with this verse! :o)
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

What Jesus want is our soul not body. If they have 2 souls in one body, the soul choose to believe and follow Jesus will go Heaven.

First of all with God nothing is impossiable. If the one twin proved not to me loving God and the other did. I am sure God could make it possiable to do what his will was accordingly.

Their spirits aren't conjoined, only their bodies. So the saved one goes to heaven, unsaved to hell.
