John Capter 8 verse 21 is the statement of Jesus Christ when he was teaching in the temple but at time no one has tempted to take him because it was not yet the time for him to be caught.
Jesus said to them one's again that He will leave and that they will try to find or look for him until they will die in finding or looking for him and told them that the place where he will go is a place where nobody could go except him.
To continue in another verse- the Jews suspected that he may kill himself because of what he said that nobody could go to the place where he will go. and he told them you are from this earth and I am from up above,You belong to this world, I am not from this world
Jesus said to them that he had told them to die because of their sins and because You do not believe that I am, you will die of your sins.
And the Jews asked him, who are you and Jesus told them, Do I need to talk to you?.To continue read it until verse 30 and there you could understand.
You have misunderstood the verses that only Christians will b e in Heaven.

the big bearon has it right he is telling them that he is going to die and that He is He who was prophesied to come as savior and that if you didn't accept him in that capacity you will die for your non belief. If you believe in him it is written that the sun, moon, and the stars are all yours. He said that all he has is yours and since he created the universe that is saying a lot. Do you like intelligence, technology etc? Well
God is the king of kings and lord of lords of technology. And the more God can trust you the more intelligence he is willing to give you in heaven. That is why it is written that intelligence on earth is folly. and the wise will be made foolish. Are you starting to get it pirate man?

People that have accepted Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior.
Jesus Christ said, "I am the Way, the Truth, And the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

In John 8:21, Jesus waas speaking to the Apostles when HE said, "Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come." HE was telling them that HE would be leaving them and they would not be seeing HIM in this life again. They had other duties to attend to on earth. This message was meant for the Apostles not for us. Have a great week!

It could be taken to mean that.
However the bible has a contradiction in what is for the remission of sins. Pauls gospels say it was the death of Jesus but Mark 1:4 says John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
And Luke 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
So which is it the blood of Jesus for the remission of sins or Baptism & repentance?

Yes, for the guy down there, John the baptist said that he baptized under the authority of the one that will come after him (Jesus). When he told them to repent, he meant to change their ways, God repented to moses. He did not sin, he changed his mind. Baptism was a symbol of a new way of life. Washing ones self clean. It did not cleanse them, it was symbolic. God says that only blood can pay for sin, that's why Jesus had to die.

Yes. And if you look down to John 8:24 He said, "Unless you believe that I AM (OLD TESTAMENT name for God from Exodus 3:14) you WILL die in your sins". Seems pretty clear....theBerean

All of those who are resurrected to hgeavenly life will be members of the 'ruling-class' of God's Kingdom Government.
They are to be King-Priests along with the Messiah, and help to bring mankind & earth back to a state of perfection, ... God's original intent.
