There is no God. HOWEVER, you said 'if', so let me answer that question.
If God showed up today, I'd know I'm safe because any all-loving and all merciful and all just God would understand the sincere pursuit of truth.
Also, hell is a logical impossibility. This can be shown as follows:
Accept as axiomic:
The punishment must equal the crime.
I am a finite being.
I am capable of sin.
Finite beings can create only finite effects.
Hell is not infinite in intensity nor duration. Prove this by contradiction: Hell IS infinite in intensity or duration.
I am a finite being. I am capable of sin. Assume I sin once every millisecond from the time I am conceived until my soul leaves my body. This is a finite number of sins.
Since I am a finite being, my sins have finite effects. A finite number of sins times a finite number or amount of effects is a finite damage. Thus, the crime is finite.
Hell is infinite in intensity or duration.
This is a contradiction, the punishment does not fit the crime.
Hell is therefore neither infinite in intensity nor infinite in duration.
QED.

If you have received God's gift of salvation by praying the sinners prayer, then ye shall be saved and your name will be written in the Lamb's Book of Life (not to be confused with the Book of Life).
I have received Christ and been filled with the Holy Spirit, therefore believing on the Word of God, and knowing that I am saved, I shall be raptured with His church in the due time (whenever that is).
In Christ's Holy Name,

I have the absolute security of God's promise to me in The Truth of my Salvation.
I accept honest email questions concerning the basics of The True Christian Faith.
All are welcom who are seeking to know more about it... and the security of knowing, as I know, that their reservation in Heaven can be claimed... it is a free gift from God to all who come to Him in The Way He proscribes.
Here is the direct link to my testimony if you care to read. It is direct so you do not have to wade through my website to find it...and it is not all that long

Because in my religion God is too kind to turn anyone away from heaven.

Come? When did he go away? How can the universal consciousness and source of all life come or go anywhere-God is.

By your lifestyle. A life of obedience. He will judge us by our heart and our the way we lived our life. Did our heart beat for Him or did we live in sin without whole hearted repentance. To repent is not to say sorry and to do it again, but to "turn away" and not to do it again. A lot of churches in America embrace sin, saying it's ok, God loves you. . .but do not be deceived by these false teachings. . .read the Bible for yourself and let your heart be awakened.

I can appreciate the psychological value of saying one is
SURE they are going to make it. But it seems ARROGANT
to me. But if one humbles him or herself. And overcomes
the PRIDE that comes from indulgence in GUILT, and creates FEAR. And free themselves. Spirit will be able to help.

I have assurance in the Word of God.
I have received Jesus as my Lord and SAVIOR. I have been filled with the Holy Spirit and I am set on enduring to the end (whatever it may take).
Love in Jesus' name
