I would go to Heaven, because I am saved and born again, and have accepted Jesus as my Savior and have admitted that I am a sinner. I am now judged by grace and not by the law. I have changed my lifestyle and do not go out and deliberately sin, even though we born again Christians stumble at times like arguing with family and such. God promised us in the Bible that if we are born again and accept Jesus as our Savior we will be in the Kingdom of God. I now follow Jesus.

Yep, big HUGE if, since there's no evidence of any kind for god, heaven, hell, "god's laws" or anything else.
I'd get a kick out of most christians saying they obey all 10 commandments, when I'll bet not a single one of them has every kept the Sabbath (Sabbath is Saturday, and has a whole list of observational rules -- it's JEWISH. It's *not* Sunday).
Let's see, if you must know about me & the "10 commandments":
1. I have no gods, including Yaweh, so FAIL.
2. PASS
3. FAIL (frequently)
4. FAIL
5. PASS
6. PASS (it says "thou shalt not kill" -- it doesn't say murder! Big difference!)
7. PASS
8. FAIL (it's been a long time, but when I was a little kid...)
9. FAIL
10. FAIL (only occasionally)
So, not that it'll ever happen, but I guess I'd go to hell with that record. Not worried about it in the least -- I'm a good person, and hell doesn't exist :)

Any one who is born again has already been judged and found not guilty (not condemned) why are so many people still in the dark about their eternal welfare? Romans Ch.8 V1 explains this and Ephesians Ch.4 V30 also hi-lites that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. We were not saved because we were good in the first place but because we were sinners! God can not give salvation in exchange for good works as salvation is not given as a reward or payment for good works but is given in exchange for faith in Jesus Christ. Remember Abraham? The Bible states that he was a man loaded with good works and he had plenty to brag about but not before God, Abraham BELIEVED God and it (his belief,faith) was accounted unto him as righteousness.
Romans Ch.3 V22 explains how we can become righteous before God - Please read.
God Bless!

The law will always condemn, because we cannot and will never be able to uphold the on our own. Will we always fail. Remember, sin is not just the symptoms (the individual acts), but a long term disease, ending either in death of the soul, or in eternal life.
The commandments do serve as a guidepost, but remember that the law has been fulfilled by Christ's death and resurrection. Thus, our focus needs to be less on keeping our own legalistic checklist of our own and everyone else's every act, and more on following in the footsteps of Jesus. We need to show his grace, love and mercy to the world. We need to share our wealth to the poor, give our strength to the weak, speak hope to the opressed, and be radically converted by our relationships with all of these people.
If we put our faith in the commandments alone, then we mock the sacrifice of Christ. We literally turn our backs on it, and tell the Lord of Life that we don't need it. I guarantee you that the devil knows every inch of the law, and knows how to twist the thorn of guilt over every infraction thereof in our minds and our hearts such that we lose hope of ever being redeemed.
Thus, all we can do is get on our knees like the tax collector, stare our sin and legal infractions right in the face and say, "God, my sin is too great, I cannot handle it on my own." and thus be redeemed by our faith in him and our honesty of our own condition.
When I die, I hope that Christ will look upon me with mercy and love.

It's His decision, not mine. He knows everything about me, more than I do about myself. I may write that I have comitted good work or bad work during my stay here. But I may be lying, to you, to myself. I don't know the sins I have committed unconcsiously, or the good works I have done without meaning to. He knows everything. The judge will be Him Himself. A man under trial does not know what his destiny will be, unless he is the truest man on earth, and true to himself. I am not that kind of man, I am only an ordinary person. And an ordinary person is always at His mercy. He is Just, and he will take me to the place I deserve. I will accept it readily.

To tell you the truth i don't know if i would go to heaven or hell i am very religious and i pray every night to ask for forgiveness but i have done bad things in my life as well as everyone ells. but i do think that if god were to judge me know, i would say that i have done some bad things, yes... but i have also done good things and they are better then bad things. Think of it like this you have a slate and you are being judge everyday(which we are) and when you do bad things you have a bad mark on your slate .But, when you sit down ans ask for forgiveness you get a good mark beside it . Then you go and do something good . That bad mark is no longer going to effect you in the judging because you have gone back and realized that what you done was wrong and fixed it by doing good.(thought at some times it does depend on what you have done) so to answer you question i think that i would go to heaven... but i don't know. The future is un-know to me as it is to everyone ells.
good questions :~)

I would go to heaven because I have accepted Jesus as my saviour. We get to heaven by believing in Him, not by giving things to God or by good works. Of course, faith without works is dead so good works are a good thing.

um OK I follow the ten commandments, but I will not be arrogant enough to claim where I will go when I die or for how long.
I can only be the best person I can. The rest is in G-d's hands.
