if you accept Jesus into your heart are you guaranteed eternal life no matter what?

Question

can you even be saved if you have called the holy spirit a real bad name

but then you find jesus and accept him into your heart

can you be saved?

Answer 1

First you accept him, but theres more you have to do. Read Acts 2:38 for the full answer.

Answer 2

Yes you will be saved. Don't listen to people who don't know what they are talking about who misinterpret the passage where Jesus talks about a person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit has committed an eternal sin.

Jesus wasn't talking about someone calling the Holy Spirit a "bad name". He was addressing his comments to the religious hypocrites of his day who saw the evidence of God's power in Jesus' ministry and were saying that He was casting out demons by the power of the Devil. These people knew the truth and they rejected it and attributed God's work to Satan.

You can't commit that sin today because Jesus isn't here doing miracles. Some people who follow charismatic leaders try to shut the mouths of believers who question the "spirit" that motivates the leader by warning them that they are "blaspheming against the Spirit" but the Bible teaches us to do that very thing.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Answer 3

No . The gift of salvation is surely free. and yes you ask Jesus into your heart to be saved, and you repent and turn from your sins. You dont keep doing as you did before and saying you are Christian. Jesus died for us to be free from sin, not free to sin. WE must love Jesus enough to obey Him, follow Him, etc. obedience leads to blessings the Bible says, and disobedience leads to curse. sin leads to death. Grace does not cover continual willful and deliberate sin. ITs for what we didnt know was sin, or what we did before we found Jesus. BUt, its not to keep sinning. God says GOD FORBID when asked about that one.
God is eager to forgive all things, the only thing not forgiveable is to convince the Holy Spirit that you will never ever accept Him and to go away and leave you alone. But GOd doesnt go easily because He loves us all so much, and longs to save each and every one. You know how to know if you committed that unpardonable sin of blashpheming the holy spirit? ITs easy. When you turn your back on the Holy Spirit and you prove you will never accept Him, He will walk away from you too, then and only then. anything else can be forgiven, if you mean it and turn from sin. BUt, if you have blasphemed the holy spirit, you will not have a conscious, you wont ask if you can be forgiven, cuz you simply will not care. It is the HOly Spirit livng in us that makes us care, and want to bpray and do good. When thats gone, you have it no more and never agaain.
SO accept Jesus today, turn from sin, and live only for Jesus. love Him enuff to obey Him and press on with Jesus , We can be victorious over sin, by letting God work in us to give us a new heart, and you cant do that without obedience to the Lord. Its all thru the Bible. great question.

Answer 4

The point is to TRULY except Jesus. That means to believe what he taught. It doesn't mean you just say you believe he existed or that he founded Christianity. If you are violent and unforgiving. If you are immoral and judge others then you are proving that you haven't accepted Jesus. Jesus said, "if you don't believe me a least believe what I do".

Jesus said, "if you blaspheme the father you can be forgiven and if you blaspheme the son you can be forgiven, but if you blaspheme the holy spirit you will never be forgiven because you have sinned from your heart"

What this means is; the Father is the power of God. Many people don't believe this. The son is the love of God, also many don't believe because they have not seen or experience it. To criticize or curse the holy spirit on the other hand is unforgivable because it is a sin against truth, love and justice. You are showing corruption of your heart.

" it is not those who sin, but those who teach others to sin who are the greatest sinners."

Answer 5

There are a few passages in the epistles that seem to indicate that people can drift away into deception, whether they can lose salvation I'm unsure. If you do genuinely believe, your spirit is born again (as it says in John and many of the epistles), so if one does stray its because one's soul is still thinking in its old ways and leading one off course. If we read the bible, and pray, we get our soul renewed, and become established in our faith.

I've never worked out who could actually commit the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit sin. Pharisees who saw the Holy Spirit working in Jesus life to heal and minister to people in beautiful ways, telling people that Jesus was operating through a demon, were told by Jesus they had commited the sin.

Answer 6

The Right to Enter Paradise

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Answer 7

If you find Jesus Christ and accept Him and apologize for your sins, no matter what you did in the past, He will still forgive you. If you accept Jesus and continue to live for Him and don't stop believing in Him, all of your sins will be forgiven, and you will get eternal life.

Answer 8

Not Just by asking Jesus into your heart
The Bible says a faith without works is dead so you have to work at it in your life everyday
But Yes I Bible says that Jesus was sent here to save us from our sins even the bad ones if we are really willing to change

Answer 9

What's the whole point of salvation? Check this: God at the
beginning of time sets up laws, scientific laws, gravity,
etc. He also sets up a basic law of obedience: love God and
love your neighbor. Man broke these two laws (the core of
the Ten Commandments). All of us break these laws. God has
already said if you don't follow these laws you will be put
to death. But since He loves His creation, He doesn't want
to destroy them. He wants a way to save them. But how?
Sacrifice. Executing the consequence but on someone else.
But who could be worthy enough to be sacrified for billions
of people since the beginning of time? God. So He went to
earth, and died for the sins of man.

All He asks now is for you to accept that. That is
salvation. He doesn't want you to pull up a list of things
so you can be 'Christian'. He just wants you to accept that
He died for you and that your sins are forgiven when you ask
of it to be.

Now how about attitudes and following laws and
regulations and all this jazz. You have to see God as a
friend rather than a cop. Just for an example, if you
hang out with friends that smoke all the time, you are
influenced to do so yourself and might take up smoking.
In the same way, if you hang out with God and people that
believe in Him, you will be influenced to live that kind of
life. The change is progressive, and to some people
instant. But it all starts out with befriending God.

Answer 10

NO, . . . you certainly are NOT! For the Bible so clearly states that, 'without REPENTANCE, there is NO forgiveness of SINS!!! You are only guaranteed eternal life, if you repent of your sins, and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart and cleanse you by the covering of all your sins, by His shed blood, which He FREELY gave on Calvary's cross for you and me and everyone else!!!
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding blood is no remission.
