Am I going to Hell?

Question

I am a Baptist, Me and my family have stoped going to church, not sure why, its been like this for about 3 years, We also Go shopping or 4 wheeling and stuff like that on sunday, And, like some other humans, i sin, i lie, cheat, I dont think i have ever done anything really bad, but, Am i going to hell? What do I need to do to make sure i got heaven?

Answer 1

Probably. Most of the world is. What do you intend to do about it?

Answer 2

I hope not.

I noticed that you said you hadn't ever done anything really bad. But God doesn't grade on a curve. He doesn't compare you to other sinners to decide if you should go to heaven or hell. If He did that, then the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross would be meaningless, because there would be another way--just don't be as bad as others. But it doesn't work that way.

The Bible says "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). So His standard of comparison is not other sinners but Himself. He is perfect and we are not. Since we fall short, we deserve hell and would go there unless God had done something to redeem us.

Jesus Christ came to the earth and lived a perfect life entirely without sin. He then was sacrificed on the cross and bore the wrath of God in our place. On the third day He rose from the dead, victorious over sin and death. So that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).

A person is saved by grace thru faith in Jesus and not on the basis of deeds of righteousness that they have done.
(Ephesians 2:8-9 and Titus 3:4-5).

If you want to be sure you are saved, confess to Jesus that you are a sinner, repent of your sins, and ask Him to forgive you and be your Savior and Lord. And He will forgive and save you.

Answer 3

No where does it say in the Bible that you have to go to church to go to heaven.....the Christian view says that you can not earn you way to heaven by your works but only through a heartfelt belief in the Jesus as your savior. With that, what you do with you life will reflect who your are inside. Your actions will follow your beliefs and faith....you will still sin...but you will be aware of it and make attempts not to....your actions will be because of your faith not as a means of earning your way to heaven.....faith without deeds is dead....you will not look at Jesus as a means of just doing what ever you want, that is an immature outlook at it....(maturity is much more than age.)

Answer 4

No one really knows exactly how to go to heaven. No one really knows what happens after you die. We all hope that it's heaven, but no one has died, came back, and told the story! Going to church doesn't give you spot in heaven. To be honest there is evil in the churches (Preist playing with lil boys SWEET VIRGIN ASSES! Those preist were in church everyday.....will they get a pass in to church? I really doubt it!) All I can tell you is live a good life, be excellent to everyone, don't judge, raise a family, and love God, and most of all love YOURSELF!

Maybe your parents figured that those times shopping, four wheeling, and everything else may have a bigger impact on the family then being in church. As your parents what made the change.........you never know, I'm sure they have their reasons!

Answer 5

As long as you are a believer you are fine ask for forgiveness for all your sins and Believe and have faith in God he is real also you do need to hear the word so read your Bible and study the word you will be find once you stared to do this you will see for yourself because if you were a believer you wouldn't have asked this question no I'm not downing you at all just get to know him personally he will see you through and while your in the process of studying him and getting to know him the devil will attack you and many whys because he does not want you to believe but always have faith because God is real
God Bless You and Your Family

Answer 6

NO only to christians youre going to hell, you stopped going to church because God has other plans for you, think of it this way, would you rather be a sheep or a smart goat? No i dont know if you do understand, maybe i can show you someday if youre ever ready....... christians wont like whats about to happen, I honestly believe God has other plans for you, and one of them is to put down your bible and learn about other religions and stop thinking that jesus is the only way to heaven, christians are hated on earth, do you think if they are disliked here that they might be disliked when they die as well?

Answer 7

To be honest, you keep up with that stuff you can go to hell. But I don't know about the church thing, I dont' think its mandatory. All sins can be forgiven if you change your ways.

Answer 8

If you've stopped going to church for the same reasons I have, you're not going to hell. As a matter of fact, you'll probably get extra credit.

Sounds to me like you're spending more time with your family. Just don't leave the Lord out of your fun. "In all your ways acknowlege him, and he shall direct your paths."

I stopped going to church because the church has signed on with the State through their 501(c)(3) and they're too timid to preach with authority from the Word of the living God. I'm a little put off by their feminine appeasement of Caesar.

Answer 9

Why do you think I would want you in hell with me??.. You havent done anything noteworthy enough to earn your place here boy.

Dont worry kid .. you are safe still.. just make sure you dont sell your soul to me... never .. !!

Answer 10

Religion is not the answer to everything (my opinion causes more problems than it cures) be yourself life is too short to worry about what comes after. Don't stress cos if there is a Hell I will be there too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
