Answer 1

If you believe in anything other than Jesus Christ's atoning death for your sins, then no.

Answer 2

If you are talking about salvation, there is only one way. No imperfect and sinful human being can earn their way to heaven. How many imperfect deeds can make someone perfect? Jesus Christ is the only door to the Father. Unfortunately, people can put their trust in the wrong Jesus Christ, which is a lie. This will not save them. Many people claim that they are he, but are not. You must remember that Satan is the master of lies, but he parades around like an angel of light. Those that truly seek the truth will find it. Unfortunately, mankind chooses darkness over light because it exposes their evil deeds. Everything exposed by the light becomes visible.

Answer 3

Only GOD can know if one is saved or not.

No one on earth can tell you if you do A, B and C your are promised heaven.

If they do, that's a lie.

If you believe you are saved you are less careful. More apt to sin. Which means no heaven for you.

Can you go to heaven if you believe a lie? That would depend on the lie. When Benny Hinn says send him all your money and you will be healed of your illness. People believe. And send money. God knows what is in your heart. He sees the trust and the innocense. That is good. Good for you. Not for Benny Hinn who is in deep doo doo.

Now, if that lie tells you you get to heaven by killing and you do so - there is no truth there. Nothing innocent about it. You would be using God as a weapon of hate. Very bad indeed.

Answer 4

Why would anyone believe in a lie? And saved from what? Drowning? Vehicle accidents? Skiing Accidents? Weather related accidents? Corrupt Governments?...

Answer 5

At salvation, many believe lies. The important thing is that we realize that we have made mistakes. All have sinned, believing lies is a sin, & come short of Gods glory. The wages of sin is death.

All you have to do is repent of believing lies. Many of us have been deceived somewhere. Most important, repent for not believing in Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God. Confess with your mouth Jesus Christ your Lord & Savior, believe in your heart He raised from the dead. That His blood washes away your sins, the ones you know and the ones you don't know.

It is true that once we come to Christ, we will sin again. But when we are born of God, the Holy Spirit will let us know in our spirit if we need to repent of something. When we sin, we confess our sin. He is faithful & just to forgive us our sin & cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God is patient & forms us and makes us His Way.

It is written to renew our mind in the True Word of God. The Truth sets us free. Free from the lies of the devil, & all wrong thinking. Also, speaking Gods promises, brings healing, so frees us from sicknesses.



Maxi Marie, Benny Hinn never asks anyone to send all their money to be healed. Benny Hinn is specially anointed for the faith healing ministry. It is the Holy Spirit who heals people because they receive the healing. Healing cannot be purchased. Benny Hinn also knows that Healing cannot be purchased. Many, 10,0000s, have come to Gods Redeeming Grace through Benny Hinns ministry.

Answer 6

we all get fooled now and then from time to time, christians and non-christians alike. i suppose the christian who has the holy spirit, that spirit will prompt him which i have had personally happen. but also making sure you are diligent in reading the word of god which is truth revealed by god. then one is less likely to be fooled by the prince of this world. the answer to this question is not so clear- the beggar at the gate called beautiful went to heaven because he suffered so much in this life . it wasnt clear whether he believed in god or not. so i dont think theres a clear answer, so saying this, it is safer to make sure one is watchful to make sure they are not deceived. and that way when god makes his decision, which is ultimately his. we have left no room for error, so have acted responsively, with a clear conscience.

Answer 7

Yes. You mean if a guy comes with a gun to me and ask me whether he was cool or not. I'd lie and say he's cool and I'd be saved from the bullet!

Answer 8

If God is all good, all merciful, and so totally understanding, why would he condemn a person to hell or keep them out of heaven, just because they were deceived or had the wrong idea about something?

Answer 9

I remember a preacher telling me you probably wont go to hell for smoking.
But boy you sure do smell like youve been there.

Answer 10

Saved from what? And are we talking subjective lies or real ones? A subjective lie is, your beliefs are invalid because they don't match my beliefs. A real lie is 2 + 2 = 2950.
