can The other christians who just relax and do nothing but evil things, like gambling, drinking alcohol, using drugs, having sex with many people in their life, comitting suicide, kill other people, steal, lie, Have children outside of marriage, don't pray only when they get stocked, don't have God on their tongue, just bad words...and so on. can these people can be saved, just because they believe in the story of the cross and God in the flesh and God the son and ....While others will stay in the hell fire in eternity is this fair?

Answer 1

I am Christian,I do not have a get into heaven free pass. If I murder, I am not going to Heaven.

Answer 2

Jesus is the only way to salvation!
Muslims, no matter how much good they do, can ever earn their way into heaven. Jesus paid the price and if they do not accept it they are lost without hope!

Christians on the other hand--I am talking about those who have accepted what Jesus did on the cross and trusted Him for their salvation--Have got to live for God. When they sin they can ask God to forgive them.
People assume that everyone in America for the most part are Christians but this is not true.
Christians should be living for God and letting the world know that they are Christians by the love they have one for another.

Answer 3

This is a good honest question. Although many so called Christian religions preach/teach that once saved...always saved, the Bible does not support such a claim. The apostle Paul clearly stated at (2 Corinthians 13:5) Keep testing whether YOU are in the faith, keep proving what YOU yourselves are. Or do YOU not recognize that Jesus Christ is in union with YOU? Unless YOU are disapproved.

It is a CONTINUAL battle to keep making sure you are doing everything that Jesus asks.

It is hypocritical to ask God that you be saved [ at Armageddon...if you live that long] if you continue to do the wrong things.

Answer 4

if christians are doing all the stuff you listed they're probably not christians. some people though are addicted to one thing like gambling or lying, or say bad words. maybe they're trying to get rid of that addiction or trying to stop. on 'having children outside of marriage' that is a sin, but it's also a sin to have an abortion. If you ask God to forgive you and you repent your sins, He'll forgive you and forget about it.
christians aren't supposed to do these sins and if they are they've strayed from God or succumb to that temptation. if they repent their sins and ask for salvation and believe in God and Jesus, then you will go to heaven. salvation is not about doing good works. God knows we're not all perfect. the only person who was on earth was Jesus. He knows we'll all make mistakes but it's asking for forgiveness and salvation that what really counts in getting into heaven.

Answer 5

You better believe it buddy, Jesus is the only begotton son of the living God. If Christians get saved the go and murder somebody then die without asking for forgivness yes that person will automaticly wind up in the firery inferno if everlasting distruction. Once saved not always saved. Jesus said onthat day not everyone who calls me Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of Heaven, only those that do the will of my father who is in Heaven. He meant every word of it..I do not care how good muslems are, or try do be, the bottom line even Muslems are sinners, and without Christ you will perish, because Jesus did die for the sins of the world, and if you do not believe who he said he was, you will surly perish, as you will die in your sins, and end up in Hell.

Answer 6

Christians may be saved only if they have faith in God and do good works. Unfortunately many Christians don't do this. But basically, what you have outlined in your first paragraph is great and should get you saved in and by any faith regardless of your belief. You are also right that Christians in name only will not be saved, because they are not real Christians. It is not fair but it is just, because they have chosen to reject God. Rock on, and God bless!

Answer 7

You have to understand the differences between Islam and Christianity first. I suggest studying Christianity from an untainted point of view, one that is not biased against it. But to answer your question, No. If they profess a love of God on their tongues and not with how they live thier lives, they will not get into heaven. However, we are a work in progress, and we can only learn from our mistakes and grow from them. If we do this and repent of our sins, we can get into Heaven, no matter how many mistakes we have made.

Answer 8

I dont think God gives a damn where youre from and what religion you are, if he's smart enough to create this amazing world, he wouldnt be stupid enough to send someone to hell for what they happend to be raised into..since thats why most people are the religion they are. I would hope he only cares about the good you've done, but what do I know right?

Answer 9

True Christians do not do those things. We are saved by a personal relationship with Jesus, which has to keep growing and stay alive.

In a sense we are saved (by our initial commitment in trust to Him) and in another sense we are in the process of being saved - from our continuing sins and from being overcome by the pressures of this world and the devil.

Answer 10

Christians that have faith in Christ are saved. The Christians you described are not Christians at all, they are only Christians through papers but not of works. The only thing can saved you is by faith through the grace given by God through Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus Christ. And this faith is a jewish concept that requires an action, ie. faith is demaning, and all the good deeds you mentioned are the expression of faith from a true Christian. James the apostle admonish the Christians you described, their "faith" will not be able to save them. St. Paul upholds that only by living faith in Christ one can be saved, not that because one is claiming a Christian he can be automatically saved. The rule is "faith in Christ" and that we work because we are saved, "not" we work in order to be saved, lest the cross of Christ be put in vain.

Answer 11

Yes, I would say so....The word "Christian" means to be "Christ like." I do believe that it was the Romans who coined the phrase and the label "Christian." Being called that for their willingness to live and die for Christ. The first Christian's did not self ordain themselves to be recognized as "Christians." They earned their title by a repressive Roman government.
