No, the Bible says a person can be a wonderful person, but if they don't Believe in Him, they won't be saved.

always. I believe I should be able to go out and have a good time and not worry about what other people think. Also, I believe that children should behave, but in order for them to behave, I know that they have to model and they model after the lives they see. When a person lives a moral life, a child follows that moral behaviour. So we have a moral society. Thus the way a person lives will affect the behaviour of others, not necessarily just their believes.

What one believes is his own business, so to categorize it, and thought don't have any harmful history of which I'm aware. Nor are there any law which forbid and punish thoughts or beliefs without more and that more is action. Thoughts like words can never actually hurt you, but actions are the things that cast sticks and stones that break our bones. Beliefs are private and unless one lives utterly isolated and alone then it is likely that actions can have consequences. If you have a clue as to right from wrong you actions ought to always follow that which is right or ethical (synonym). To do otherwise might well be to put at risk self and other. You might be tolerated to harm self, but no society permits one to harm others.

Its how we use what we believe that's in important. If you believe in peace and love, but never display any then whats the point in even having that "belief". In fact if you don't show how you believe to the world (such as being kind) then you really don't believe in it at all. If you did wouldn't you try your hardest to act on what you believe? Its what you do that counts. "Its not about what faith you believe in, its just about having faith." I like that quote though I can't remember where I heard it. I hope this helps.

How you live your life is what impacts on your environment - the people around you as well as yourself. How you behave influences how people treat you, and can also have a flow-on effect. What's the point of believing in high morals and ethics if you make the people around you miserable? Your beliefs are about you, they are personal and private and don't (or at least shouldn't) impact on others. Hopefully one's beliefs are a positive influence on their behaviour.

How you live is much more important bacause this will give you the exsistance and people will remember you the way you lived not on which you believed. There are many people who are remembered by their deeds regardless of what believes they had.... for e.g Alexander, Slahudin Ayubi, Mother Tressa, Mahateer Mohammed etc. all these people lived their life for their people ............so its important how you lived on this earth for this life as well as for your life after death....

I have provided links to you for the following terms.
"World View" and "General Semantics".
There is also an article by Kahlib J. Fischer but I cannot find it easily accessible to the public online.

I would say in most cases yes. You can believe whatever you want but if your a bad person it will take away from that.

A person's lifestyle is moulded by his beliefs. I think it's hard to analyse these separately.
