Is there such thing as a Christian who's not sure if they'll make it to Heaven?

Question

Or are they all cocky stubborn people who think they have no fault. The Biggest reason people reject Chrisitanity is because of the example of MOST of its members.

Answer 1

I don't know why people worry about this...lead a sinless life, read The Bible and pray to God...everything will go smooth.

Answer 2

For a true Christian its kinda like this:

You sit down with paper and pencil, and write a 3 four lines of a poem, beginning with roses are red...

and you take it to a publisher friend of yours.
With in a week you are hailed through out the world as the greatest poet ever! Far above anything anyone has every written! This acclaim go's on and on.

You know you are not a poet, you can't write much of anything, and all this, this acclaim, is uncalled for, undeserved.

Its not that you don't want it, you just know that it is undeserved, and your a little afraid that some day some one will point that out, and the world will scorn you. But you did write it, and the world knows you wrote it!

That's kinda how a christian feels, he will enter heaven, but it is totally undeserved, and sometime, somewhere, it will be discovered, hay you don't belong here! But that time that where never comes!

Answer 3

Wow, talk about a loaded question!! If you want a real answer and not just someone to agree with you, the answer is pretty simple. A Christian is "cocky" about his/her salvation because the way to salvation is so clearly defined and pretty easy to achieve. You simply must believe and repent. If it were more difficult, you'd get more people who are unsure if they'll make it. It's pretty easy though, so why WOULDN'T people be sure about it if they truly believe in the first place? The people who feel they have no fault are either misinformed or not truly Christians. It's unfair to say that MOST of Christianity's members don't set a good example when you probably don't come into contact with most of its members. Do you spend time in churches or in the various community settings in which Christians spend their time? Are you in the prisons on Mondays with church members who are counseling convicts, visiting sick people in the hospital on Tuesdays, participating in prayer groups on Wednesdays, working in soup kitchens on Thursdays, etc? There are many Christians who are active members of their communities who ARE doing great works for fellow man. They're willing to admit when they're wrong but will not back down when they're right. Our society teaches us to stand up for ourselves and for what we believe in, yet time and again we're condemned when we do just that. You can't judge such a diverse group of people by its loudest members. Otherwise I'd assume all atheists are smart-alecs with illogical assumptions about anyone different from them. And I don't. :)

Answer 4

There will be a new heavens and a new earth and thousands will be for the new heavens and billions for the new earth. All was perfect to Eden, all is LOST from Eden until all is SAVED. At the end of 49,000 years, it will be perfect again.

1Cor.15:22; As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

All will see what God does, but seeing is not always believing.

John 3:16; Rev.20:1-6,12,13; After 1000 years all who do not see the facts as they are get Rev.20:7-10;

Answer 5

Yes. Not all Christians subscribe to the wacky "Once Saved Always Saved" concept.

I'm a Catholic and we don't. I also think most mainline Protestants don't. It's really more the Fundamentalists who think that way. In fact, I've had them tell me that because I don't know for sure that I am going to heaven that I am not a Christian. I have just never for the life of me understood this concept.

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of unsure Christians who are so due to a variety of reasons. What you claim is true, as outsiders always see the negative attributes of a group based on the few bad apples.

Answer 7

It is an everyday walk with God. God said "chose you this day whom you will serve"..it is a daily choice...we as Christians are not perfect, and yes, some have set a horrible example..but we have to look at the example that Christ left us, for that is all that matters. It doesn't matter what others do, that is between them and God..what matters is the way that I live my life according to Jesus, not according to someone professing godliness, but not living it...we are not to judge..for by that judgement that we judge others by...that same judgement will fall on us.

Answer 8

Well...you ask 3 questions.
1) Yes
2) No
3) Your last statement is not really a question. Nor is it a fact, a substantiated argument. While what you write is often true, it is theologically false. Most people reject Christianity because of their sinful nature.

Answer 9

is that not all of them .
it is the Christians biggest worry
and because of this they are so easily manipulated and controlled by the Illuminati
who invented the stories in the first place

and to realize that one has been led by the nose all these years is for most people unacceptable .so they prefer to live in fear full confusion
I am Pagan
thank God
Ooops
i mean Gods

Answer 10

There's a possiblity to everything. EVERYONE is a sinner, that is why Jesus died for us-he already knew that we are sinners. Everyone has a chance to go to heaven. That is why God leaves us with our free will. We makes our choices. We sin-we pay the consequences. Just ask God to forgive them and chances are you'll be forgiven b/c God always forgives his children (us).
