How do most Christians feel?

Well, that's up to God, isn't it? Personally, I don't feel that they're behaving in a very Christian manner (to put it mildly), but I'm not the final judge.

The Bible teaches that for the duration of easy terms a small team of human beings, the anointed ones will bypass to Heaven, an entire of one hundred forty four,000 human beings (Revelation 14:a million, 3); the rest human beings, the great crowd, will stay right here in the international (Revelation 7:9). The anointed ones will help Christ to control over the earth on an identical time as paradise is restored. i'm additionally chuffed to record that there is not any hell. This place isn't literal, it represents the collective graves of human beings that are drowsing in dying -waiting for resurrection (job 14:13, Acts 2:31, Revelation 20:13). The Bible shows that for the duration of it extremely is place lie people who served Jehovah to boot as those that did no longer (Genesis 37:35, Psalms fifty 5;15). simply by fact of this we are reassured that there'll be resurrection of in simple terms and unjust human beings (Acts 24:15). i'm hoping this solutions your question. i encourage to ask the subsequent Jehovah Witness that knocks on your door greater approximately this concern. we are continuously prepared to help come across the certainty approximately recommendations that pass around the international that the two are or are no longer supported by skill of the Bible.

No one goes to heaven or hell because of their membership in a particular congregation. If someone has put their trust in Jesus for their salvation and been born again by the Holy Spirit then they are on their way to Heaven.
That having been said, a church that promotes hate of people instead of telling people that God loves them but hates the sin in their lives and has a plan and the power to give them a new life in Christ, is a church that doesn't have Jesus as their head and is not led by the Holy Spirit. That being true, it is unlikely that members of such a congregation are on their way to Heaven at this point in their lives.

They are terrible people... I can tell you truthfully that I found out about the Westboro Baptist Church online, and in all my years that is the only thing that has hurt me from reading on the internet. It hurts even worse in real life. Those sick bastards will never go to any heaven ever created by any kind God.
My sister died in Iraq... and they think it's funny?

Some will and some won't--which is true of any congregation you can think of.
Is this the church that harasses funerals? These people are deluded. I can assure you that Jesus is not looking down with pleasure upon their behavior. It is NOT the mission of Christians to condemn sinners. In the first place we are all sinners. The Bible says: "As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.'" Romans 3:10-12. No one is really looking for God, everyone wants to do it his own way. Everyone wants God to admire them for being so good in their pursuit of God. But God doesn't admire anyone. In particular, He doesn't admire the hypocrisy of someone who will loudly condemn sinners, all the while ignoring the fact that the only reason they have any merit in the eyes of God is because they have been forgiven by God. And that forgiveness was given to them as a gift because they themselves had done absolutely nothing to make themselves worthy of forgiveness. I can't imagine how they justify what they are doing in their own minds.

Not if God hates bigots. According to them, God hates everyone else.
Seriously, if these people keep going on the route they're on, things don't look too good for them. Granted, there's no hope for the rest of us either, without God's grace, but these people from WBC seem to have rejected God's grace for themselves and others. And if they've rejected God's grace and salvation by grace alone, I don't think they're going to have a very happy eternity. Does that mean we shouldn't pray for them? I think we certainly should. Whether they listen to what God is trying to tell them is a whole different ballgame altogether.

If they are born again Christians then the Bible says they are going to heaven... Do you have the knowledge to see what is in their hearts? I think God is the only One qualified to see whether or not a person goes to Heaven...and religious sects are a man-man tradition...God doesn't put differents traditions on His children...All people belong to God...Try reading the 14th chapter of Gospel of John,,"In My house are many mansions.......

They will be going the same place any other self processed Christian religion will be going who thinks they need to be doing anything but what Christ said to do, or think they know better than Christ about what they should be doing. They think that because Christ didn't say not to do something must mean it's okay.

I have watched these people spew their hatred and judgements and it sickens me. According to them, the only people on earth that are going to heaven are the 25 or so members of their church.
I don't believe any of them to be going to heaven.
I mean for God sake, how is it that they can call those little Amish girls whores? And then they said that its good that they died now so they have a shorter stint in hell to do- wtf? Isn't hell eternal?
They are sick and twisted people who have extremely skewed views of the Bible and what God really wants for us.

i'm not christian or baptist so i guess i'm going to hell huh? :)
i think that everyone is going wherever it is that they wanna go when they die. Well I'll be in summerland after being reincarnated a couple of times. And hell isn't truly place but a state of mind. A seperation from god.
