WHAT does it mean, "TO Ask Jesus into your Heart?" I see that Jesus said many things about those that are Called HIS?
(John 7:38) He that = = BELIEVETH ON ME [JESUS], = = AS THE SCRIPTURE HAS SAID = = out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(Joh 7:39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
AND what about THOSE that have asked Jesus into their hearts, and NOW never profess that they Know HIM?
PLEASE, explain the Difference between "As the Scripture has said" and "Asking Jesus into your Heart?
PLEASE, show the Scriputre Verses that Validate Your ANSWER?
Thanks, RR

Seriously - don't you have anything better to do?
And, Natobanato2; you DO realise that accept and except have opposite meanings?

In my youth I thought I didn't need church, I eventually went all the time in 6th grade. I went to church camp and realized that even christian children are heathens. Long story short, I was picked on and got hit in the head with a large rock!! One thing I've found that when I was in turmoil and felt bad I would pray and let Jesus know that I had no control and that I loved him. I would feel the pressure released and sleep soundlessly through the night. To accept Jesus is to know that you have no control and that there is a larger plan that you have a role in. Knowing this puts your heart to rest, and you know that you are perfect the way you are. In some degrees all religions are like this, to find your place. Using scripture to study and quote won't do anything if you don't feel in your heart the meaning. The way I see things in conclusion, Heaven is open to all even the blasphemer's. You just need to forgive yourself, and accept that you have a purpose. God and Jesus will never stop loving you. Just like a father/mother will never stop loving their child and will accept them no matter what(in most cases, as humans make mistakes). ----Sorry no scripture quotes---

You sound like a sturdy person, no longer somebody who has the "devil in you". yet you will the two advance up, and this could seem very stupid to then you. the significant reason human beings act like that, is the thought they're thank you to god is the only one, and which you would be doomed to a pair awfull place in case you do no longer meet up with the "one genuine church". according to danger you have heard comparable claims contained in the RC church. once you suspect in those issues it variety of feels very extreme, and human beings can get genuine uptight. you could desire to attempt telling her that if she does not relax you will connect the satanists.

It means to except Him as your Lord and Savior. It means to ask Him for forgiveness and admit that you are a hopeless sinner and that you need Him.
We as humans are lost to sin and death because of Adam's fall in the Garden of Eden.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
We have to stop and admit that we cannot make it without God. He is the only one that can save us from death and sin.
Romans 3:23 (New International Version)
"23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"
All you have to do is pray to Him - talk to Him.
"Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I need your blood to cleanse me and I need your forgiveness. I need you to be my Father, my God, my Savior..."
When you do this, specifically, you are "born again" by your Heavenly Father. A picture of this is when you were born to your earthly Mom and Dad. You have their life and can grow in it. When you are born again by your Heavenly Father. He is your Father and you are a part of Him. He comes into your being. The Holy Spirit comes into your (human) spirit.
John 3:6 "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit."
Here are some more verses about being born again and being born of the Father's life and of the Spirit.
This is alsi from the NIV Bible which you can searched at http://www.biblegateway.com
John 3:1-5 1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus...2 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."
3 In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.[a]"
4 "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"
5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You[c] must be born again.'
You have to born of the Spirit to be have Jesus Christ to live in you. This will mean that a living, life will live in you (as you said with your quote from the Bible). You drink of the one who is the Flowing Spring.
John 3:15-18
"15 that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.[e]
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.[g] "
Okay this shows that you have to believe in Jesus and even believe in all that He is to Have Eternal LIfe. The most basic concept here is that you cannot have Eternal Life without Him and cannot be saved. In the simplest way - this is how you are saved for your Eternal salvation. In other words, you are saved from being cast into the Lake of fire at the Lord's return. However, this is also the start of living a life as a Christian because you have the life of the Father.
I hope this helps - there is so mucn more that can be said.
To address your other question - everyone who accepts Christ is secure that they will be with the Lord for Eternity when He has his Kingdom on Earth.
People do forget about the Lord, fall away from the Lord, things happen. A person cannot be "unborn" - just like you were born of your mother and cannot be "put back into her womb" you cannot be "unborn" of your heavenly Father. However, there are specific specific details about how a person lives in His life with the Lord that may have consequences for Christians in the times before he comes back. That's the best way to put it. In general there is so much that can be said but I just trust the Lord because you are seeking Him.
If you want to talk about ths more - please feel free to write to me at hislove@writeme.com I will be glad to talk about anything that has to do with Jesus.
I have faith that you will accept the Lord as your Savior - in turn - the Lord's Grace be with you my Brother In Christ.
