(Yes) or (still working on) on this question. You can look this up if you like 1John 5:13.
Have you come to a place in your spiritual life where you know for certain that if you were to die today, you would go to heaven, or is that something you would say you're still working on?
I know for certain that I have eternal life and you can have it also.
Before you can share with us how you know, answer another question. Then tell us why or what you think?
Suppose your were hit by a truck, you actually died. The next thing your see is an Angel with the Book of life, and then you saw God in all his splender. You steped forward and asked the Angel, is my name in the Book of life, and God thunderd out a question directly to you. "Why should I let you into My heaven? How would you respond? What would you say?
Before I pick the best answer remember all religions have their own man-made ideas. There is only one way, and one idea that is with out a shadow of a doubt, correct. Give it try

Yes, I have gotten to place in my life where I know for certain that I will go to heaven if I die right now. Amen!! I have eternal life for sure. I'm glad you do too!! : ) If I got hit by a truck, dyed and God asked me why He should let me into heaven, I would say because Jesus dyed for my sins and I accepted his gift of eternal life!!! Thanks for asking!!! : ) May God bless you!!!

Yes, I know for certain that I have eternal life and that my name is written in His Book of Life. If I died this second or 50 years from now, my salvation is secure.
I have done nothing to earn salvation nor could I; it is a free gift offered by God through His Son Jesus....and I accepted Him into my heart fully. Ephesians 2:8-9
I am "saved" because God has sent His Holy Spirit to reside within me; to lead, guide, and direct my every step. God cannot lie; if He says I am clean, then I am clean indeed.

All religions are creations of man. It just amazes me that God would choose such an inefficient and questionable way to reveal himself. As a Deist, I believe in a god, but there is nothing revealed in nature about an afterlife. Therefore, it is impossible to say even if such a place exists. It is beyond our knowledge.
If the Biblical God showed up and asked me "Why should I let you into My heaven?" I would respond with a lot of questions. I would want to know why God's nature is so different in the Old Testament than it is in the New Testament. After I was satisfied that this was indeed God and not some demon, I would probably request a tour of the place to make sure it is what it is claimed to be. Sorry, but as a Deist, I need more than myths.

These are, indeed, 2 questions, but they are not paired together. The first question can be answered, YES, I do believe I will go to heaven if I died today because I believed in the name of Jesus.
Your second question is hypothetical. It under the assumption of what will happen after death. Because of that, no matter what answer I give, it wouldn't matter. You believe an angel will be there with a book and God behind him. Others believe that only you will stand before God, and you will be silent while he judges you. Still, others say Jesus will be on your side, intervening at that point on your behalf. Since the 2nd question isn't valid, any answer doesn't matter. But, to entertain you, I will simply say that I believe I will get into heaven because of my belief that Jesus died for my sins, and I passed my testimony and knowledge on to others. Simple enough for you?

I believe that when I die, I will be dead, in the grave conscious of nothing as Ecc. 9:5, 6 & 10 brings out.
I then will be asleep in death awaiting the resurrection as brought out at John 5: 28 & 29.
I would hope that my name has been written in the book of life and I would hope to be resurrected back to a paradise earth, where the meek will inherit the earth and live forever upon it.
Ps 37: 10 & 11 & 29

Theirs One God one Spirit of God.One soul in each of us.
and many religions.
Jesus said.
In my fathers house or many mansions
I will go back to be with my father but Will leave you the holy ghost to guide and directs you
all that call upon my name will not be saved only those that do My fathers will .will make it to heaven
you must ask the spirit into you, then ask of it, then listen for the answers then do gods will.to make it to heaven.just calling on him want do it.
God. if he said why should I let you in, I would not have anything to say I don't beg anyone of even God for anything. that s up to him what he wants to do,Not me.
I have loved God all my life and have most all my life asked of the spirit what to do in this life that is pleasing to him and actually try my best to do it, so I do believe i will make it to heaven . I will see my wonderful Christian parents and grandparents and family and friends when I pass on from this world.Praise God. I have witnessed life saving supernatural miracles.May Peace be with you.

There is nothing I can do apart from accepting Christ that will guarantee me salvation, but there is nothing else I need to do. The reason I am assured of salvation is because He is faithful.
Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

their is no religion on earth that can guarantee eternal life because we do not even know for sure that it exists.
You might say faith but faith is not tangible evidence.
My religious practices are because they make me a better person in this world. Not because of any rewards I am trying to get in the next.
if you wish to run your life out of fear of punishment or desire for reward then that is your prerogative. I on the other hand will work on making myself a better person and improving the world around me. If that dose not get me anything in the next world then so be it for I will know I have make a positive contribution to society. Can you say the same?

If this happened I would say, Not by me, or anything I have done. I know my name is in the book of Life, Jesus is my Lord, Savior and Advocate. I haven't done anything to earn entry, but Jesus paid the price for me. He is my authority for entrance.

I would respond to God in fear and trembling..that though I am not worthy to enter in by my own merit....Jesus bore the full brunt of God's righteous wrath at calvary, on the cross in my place.
And while on earth,I accepted and acted on the plan of salvation as provided by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
God...I knew your Son. The gates will then swing wide open...
Actually,I will probably be too scared, and will just point to my Savior Jesus. And he will reach out and embrace me and say..I know you,Bobby.
