John 3:5 lets us know that unless we have the Holy Spirit, the third part of the Trinity, we cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

I see. You explain the Holy spirit to me , not only by scriptual reference but your own thoughts, you will have proved your point or answered your own question. Whichever you want.

You said it yourself, "trinity". Meaning 3 in 1. You cannot have 1 without the other 2. When you are saved the Holy Spirit enters your heart. Being saved and having the Holy Spirit are the same thing.

Right ! Romans13:11 Paul said ( for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed) We are saved by grace through faith. Salvation actually comes at death. I Peter 1:5 said ( who are kept by the power of God through faith UNTO salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Feel free to read all the chapters these verses are in. Titus 1:1 says the acknowledging of the truth which is after Godliness. Timothy 4:1 Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times som shall depart from the faith.
Titus 2:11,12 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men, teaching us that denying ungoliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly righteously, and Godly in this present world. Mattew 24:13 But he that ENDURETH unto the end shall be saved. Mark 13:13
32 Jesus said; But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no not the angels which are in Heaven, NEITHER THE SON, but the father . There difinitly is a trinity. The Father The Son and the Holy Ghost. Theres more but I just wanted to warn people. Don't get mad at me. These are scriptures out of the Bible. Also, Matthew 7: 21Not everyone that saith Lord, Lord shall enter the into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of me Father which is in Heaven.

you do make a good point dear,although being a nonbeliever,I'm always curious why people seem to think that,suppose god does exist.do you honestly think a person like Hitler would be in heaven even if he sincerely repents?if you seriously think that of anyone who sincerely repents after a life of raping and maiming and pillaging,then there is something wrong with your beliefs,i mean if you are a believer then whats with the old saying,"god will get you" or "you will get yours"if god does exist I'm sure "yours" probably means eternal suffering,i for one cannot imagine a world where rapists and child murderers and people who commit random violence for no reason are guaranteed everlasting life just because they are sorry when the so called "Apocalypse" is upon us.
which is why it is all a vicious fairy tale

Being saved means that you have been baptized by the Holy Spirit.

I don't know where you are getting your definition of "saved" but it means to accept that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and to confess your sins to Him to be washed away. In that moment of acceptance the Holy Spirit enters you to guide your way.
Believe!

the holy spirit dwells in us once we are saved

This is true. I have heard the same thing from several Holiness preachers.

Do you realize that nobody is really saved from anything? When you die, you're dead.
The Bible is a storybook. It doesn't really matter what John says about the topic.

your question is a contradiction.. to be saved means you are going to Heaven.. if you don't make it to Heaven, you weren't truly saved..
