Is being saved in Christianity based on belief or blood type?

Question

What gets me into heaven? My psychology or something else?

Answer 1

You aren't destined for heaven.
Our future is on a transformed earth.
Transformed by God himself.
Psalm 37:29

Answer 2

it is based on faith alone.
Here is what will get you to Heaven (and this is the ONLY way):
John 3: The Words of Jesus Christ (God in the flesh)
3. "Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus saith unto Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
16. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18. He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Answer 3

Jesus said in John 14:6,

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me
The Holy Bible : King James Version. 1995 . Logos Research Systems, Inc.: Oak Harbor, WA

This means that you must believe in Jesus and trust in Him and you will have eternal life. You must confess your sins to Him and do the works you feel in your heart. You must read the Bible. It is like making a cake. If you don't follow the directions, you don't get a cake.

Answer 4

We are saved by grace, not by works, so that no one can boast.
We are saved by grace alone. Recall that in Acts 16:31 the jailer asked Paul and Silas how to be saved. They responded, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." The jailer believed and immediately became saved.
Close to 200 times in the New Testament salvation is said to be by faith alone - with no works in sight. Consider the following:
John 3:15 tells us that "everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."
John 5:24 says, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my words and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
In John 11:25 Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies."
John 23:46 says, "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness."
John 20:31 says, "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."
If salvation were not by faith alone, then Jesus' message in the Gospel of John - manifest in the above quotations - would be deceptive, stating that there is one condition for salvation when there are allegedly two - faith and works.
I must emphasize that we are saved by faith for works. Works are not the condition of our salvation, but a consequence of it We are saved not by works, but by the kind of faith that produces works.

Eph 2:8-10 God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this: It is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Answer 5

Haven't you been reading the answers here? Christianity teaches repenting of all sins, accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior -- that's your guaranteed ticket into heaven. But then that's just what Christianity teaches .... there are other theories as welll... (I'm just sayin' ..)

Answer 6

Neither. It's based on relationship. Heaven, when defined Biblically, is spending eternity with God. Hell, likewise, is Biblically defined as eternal separation from God.

So it really comes down to this... If you're not interested in spending time getting to know God, why would you want to go to heaven? If chose to spend your life here on earth separated from Him, why would you not welcome spending eternity without Him?

Answer 7

It is ONLY by faith that one can please God. Faith that Jesus is the Son of God, and that he took your sin upon him is your way of salvation.
