Some say yes, but they can't prove you'll have everlasting life once you die.
I think you mean "savior".

You can declare thing all day and all night long until the cows come home and go back out again, but the only thing that's going to impart everlasting life is a transformation of nature. Jesus said you must be born again, born anew, born from above, born of the Spirit - John 3:3-8.
Eternal life is more than a quantity of time after this life. Everlasting life is also a quality of life - both in this world and in the world to come. Jesus said He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly - John 10:10.

Dear juniorz28,
There is absolutely NOTHING one can do to become saved. God is Sovereign and He chooses whom He will save. In fact we read in Ephesians 1:3-6 that He has chosen all those He planned to save from before the creation. These "chosen ones" are called the elect and at some time in their life, God will give them a new resurrected soul in which their earnest desire is to keep the commandments of God (1 John 2:3, 4; John 14:15, 21, 24).
There are many people who say "I love God" or "I love Jesus" butthey will still end up in hell. Please read Matthew 7:21-23. This is a stern warning to everyone who says that they are "christian" or "saved." Only Christ can save a person. Many love to quote John 3:16 or John 1:12 but they do not go on and read John 1:13 which states: "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." You cannot pick when you will be saved or even if you'll be saved! The Lord Jesus Christ is Sovereign in ALL of this.

Every one ever born has eternal life - the question is where will you spend it, If you have accepted the free gift of salvation through Jesus' death and resurrection, you will live eternally with God - if not you will live eternally without God. Your choice.

No, you have to endure to the end. Getting baptised and proclaiming the Lord as your personal savior does nothing for you if that is all you do. You have to endure to the end to get eternal life.

The bible says no one comes to me except thru my son.You have to believe that his son Jesus Christ died on that cross for your sins and the sins of the world.Jesus did all the work for you when he shed his blood for you,after you believe this always try to lead a good life,helping people who are less fortunate than you are,giving money or helping with charities and other good causes.And always pray for his help or guidance when you need it.He's always listening to us every minute of the day.

Faith without works is dead. Just because you say you love God and his son doesn't mean you really do unless you devote your life to his work and teachings. "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of God". You must show that you mean what you say.

Not unless you remain faithful until the end. That's what the Bible tells us - "he who endures to the end, he will be saved". Anyone who thinks he is already saved is in real danger of not being saved. Why would anyone obey the word of God and "work out his salvation in fear and trembling", if he thinks his salvation is already guaranteed?

No we all die it's mandatory... and when we do die it's GAME OVER for all of us. The rest is wishful thinking on the part of those who yearn for more than their mortal life span.

No. St. Paul says you have to work out your salvation daily with fear and trembling. At least he said that was what he had to do so we are certainly no better than him.
