Im a christian, and I know my heart, but what about other people we see and talk to everyday, what about their heart? How can we be sure that our loved ones will make it pass the gates of heaven?

I influence whomever I can.
Influence is all I can do, I cannot save them.
It does not scare me, they had the same chance that I had to turn around and accept Jesus.

I know your a Christian and I mean no offense when I ask you,
"Do you know what your faith is based on? Do you know that it, like all other religions, was created by human kind to help them deal with their fear during times of hardship, catastrophe, and panic? Do you know that many people view religion as superstition? Do you know that the books contained in the New Testament were chosen by a body of church men with a political agenda?
If you knew any of this, how could you believe in something so black & white as heaven and hell?
If you are meant to or even capable of seeing your loved ones after you die, you will. But since no one actually knows if there is an afterlife, or even what might happen there - your concern is groundless and is causing you needless stress.
Enjoy and love those closest to you now, because none of us knows what happens later

Being a Christian is not a guarrantee for anyone to be going to heaven. God may even deny you for being so judgemental. You are never rated for what you are in your faith but for what you do as a living person. Whoever have taught you that being Christian is enough will probably have the most problem entering what you think is heaven. Do what is right and live in accordance to what a human being is expected of. Believe in the existence of God not because you fear His wrath but because you truly believe in Him and that the bond of love between you and Him is strong and true. Fear the disconnection but not His wrath because it will only happen to you if you deserve it but none of it will happen if people would only learn to live righteously. Those who tell that theirs is the only way is surely bound for the deception by the devil. No one religion can have the monopoly of God's grace, everyone HE created has a chance to join Him in paradise as long as that one knows and understands His commands. Do not worry about your loved ones, worry about yourself, then be a light to those you think are in the dark alley of life. You do not need to teach anyone, just show your honest self and they will see and judge for themselves if they will have to follow you or not.

NO for the Bible tells us there will be so many the number too great to count... as the grain of sands on the shores.. that will be leading up to heaven's gate.. those that are going to be killed during the Tribulation/Great Tribulation because they refused to receive the "mark of the beast".

It's a lost cause. Only 1/3 of the earth's population is Christian (or claims to be Christian) so at least 2/3 of the entire earth's population is going to burn.

yes it is scary but everyone is their own person and you can't make anyone want to be christian-like even if you want to. i have family members that i never even talk to because of their stupid crime scene life and no matter how many times i used to try to talk to them about it they never learnt their lesson i wish people would grow up and be more caring and responsible now instead of the alternative

Sweetheart I understand that pain you feel.
I too have it, but as I grew to be a mature Christian..I saw what God showed me to be true.
I will tell you...God is MORE sad, than we are.HE doesn't send one person to hell!
NO
They do it all by themselves,by not accepting Him(Jesus) who died
a dreadful death on that cross...It was to show as you know, just how much we are loved.YET! man will continue...to hate Christ.
satan has got into their hearts, and said to them..''you will still make heaven-when you die''?...that is what is the Biggest Lie...in all of history....If you do not love Christ...then He can not let you into His home'heaven'...
People are stupid...and what one can do! is pray, but at the end of the day....It is our responsability to tell them, and theirs to listen!.....we have done our job.Just as you and I listened,they CAN hear the truth...believe me...but choose not too.
We must never accept their responsability, as ours...

NASA hasn't yet found heaven or hell any where...
when they find it we can see the logic behind who goes to heaven and who goes to hell...
I wonder how older people came to know about heaven and hell because as far as I know I haven't seen a single person who has seen heaven or hell.

If you are a christian and go to heaven, you get anything you wish, right? All you have to do is want your loved ones to be there, and there they will be.

Yes, it scares me. And for those that do fall into the abyss, may the last thing they feel be the fingers of a Christian slipping from their ankles...
