Nope.
Ephesians 2:8-10 (King James Version)
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

No, we will not be judged based solely on deeds, but how we treat the least of our brethrens. On judgement day it is said that the dead will be arisen, so that means that they will also have living people being judge. Now in order to enter heaven you must die, so why would they have to be risen. I'll tell you why, when we come into this next life it will be on earth. Our judgement will be in the next life on earth not in no pearly white gates in the sky
You see every one will be risen that has died, so life never end, here you'll find heaven , here you'll find hell.
I believe that if you treated Mexicans like **** God will send u back as a Mexican, if u treated Blacks like **** u will come back as a black man ect. ect. ect. What ever u did to the least of my brothers , he said the least meaning, even if I think that this person was spawn straight from hell. I must treat them like if I could see Christ in them. Any other treatment is unacceptable, and is so, done to the creator!

You will be admitted into Heaven if you believe in Christ as your personal savior.....not for good deeds. The good deeds should come as a result of that belief.

Dear movedby,
Nope i will get into heaven because i have put my faith in Jesus Christ and the work that He has done on the cross. But my good deeds will hopefully lead others to give glory to my Father in heaven.
Kindly,
Nickster

NO and I thank you for asking...I know that my good deeds are just that. Deeds...I believe that deeds with faith and love are better. But the best way to get into heaven is to accept Jesus Christ as your savior and lord. He died for all.

You will stand before God on Judgment day!
And because Christ has taken my sins I shell enter heaven, the deeds I have done will be the raiment I ware!

No. I havent done anything good all my life,I used to think that having children was the best thing I had ever done, but then I realized that even they were concived in sin. Nothing ican do will get me or you there, BUT we are saved by grace, which is the gift of GOD...if we believe that Christ died for our sins, and that he died on the cross ,and rose from the dead on the thrid day...which means that he is really living...nope the only thing I can DO is witness to others and tell them what he has done for me in my life, and try to encourage them on their spiritual walk...Helping the old lady across the street just wont do it...But because of my beliefs it causes me to change my actions towards others

A person does not go to heaven because of his good deeds. Our good qualities are like filthy rags.We are able to go to Heaven not because of our self righteousness but because of His pure grace and His righteousness.Even in Heaven we are sinners saved by His pure grace.Though sinless He paid the price for sinners like us.

No...nothing that I have done could ever get me into heaven! It is not by my works that I am able to go to heaven it is by the saving power of my Jesus Christ! My bible tells me to admit that I am a sinner, believe that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead and is waiting to cleanse me of all my sin, and confess my sins to God and turn my life over to God...that is how I will enter Heaven

I just hope that I can be found righteous enough to enter through the pearly gates and admitted into heaven, but, that is not my decision to make or worry about now in my life right now, I have plenty to be concern about right now iin my life right now, to worry about whether I will be going to heaven or hell

remember all the good deeds under the sun can not bring salvation. only the love of and for God, can give you entrance into heaven.
