the path to heaven.how to be saved from sin?
2006-09-14 07:22:04 · update #1
Why are you so sure there is only one path? The only people who know for sure (if anyone does) are dead. Until we die, we won't know if our ideas about the afterlife are true or false (or maybe we will find out all of them are right, or wrong, or partially right).
If you believe that the spiritual path you are on is correct for you, that is all we each have to go on. But don't assume that just because your religion feels right for you it is right for everyone. I know that the path I am on is the right one for me.
I hope you are happy with your religion and your choices. I am happy with mine.

First of all you have to know that you are a child of God. He created you to be a part of His kingdom. You then have to know what He did for you. John 3:16 - He gave His only Son so that you can have eternal life. You then acknowledge your sins (all the wrongs you have ever done or that you can remember). Pray a prayer of confession and repentance (Romans 10:10)
"Dear Lord, I have sinned and come short of your glory. I confess the wrongs I have done. Forgive me and cleanse me from these sins and make me a child of your kingdom in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Thank you Lord for the gift of salvation in Jesus' name. Amen"

tazcm2001,
They will let you know who they are. If you are what you claim to be, you will know by discerning the truth. The ones that God wants out of this mess are the ones asking certain types of questions, in a certain way. You'll see.
Most of these blokes want to debate all day. Well at least they are talking about it. I keep trying to get the people that I have contact with to join in, people who wouldn't give you the time of day on the street will talk for hours on the subject here.
Keep your eyes open! Be wise!

Define "salvation"
Re: additional details
You have not proven the existence of any "Heaven", nor why any "Heaven" oriented religion is the correct one in defining "sins".
I'm not interested in salvation unless there is at least some evidence of something from which I need to be saved.

Apparently the path goes thru Pizza Hut and McDonald's. Did you read my question about Christians being so obese?

Mapquest shows eight different 'Salvation' entries in the USA alone. Which one did you mean?

Through Christ. Not by works nor your own efforts to achieve eternal life in Heaven. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
" I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6)

Bless your heart for actually ASKING if anyone wants to know, rather than just engaging in proselytizing. No, I have my own beliefs, but thanks for offering.

Know yourself that is salvation.
