"If you died right now, are you 100% sure you would go to Heaven?


There are basically four things you need to understand from the Bible to have the assurance that when YOU die YOU will go to Heaven.

EVERYONE IS A SINNER
Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

The reason we come short of God's glory (God's righteousness or perfect nature) is because "all have sinned". "All" includes me and it also includes you. Sin is nothing more than disobeying God - it's not just murdering or stealing. For example, Adam and Eve ate from the tree that God told them not to touch - that was the first sin. So the first thing you must do is agree with the Bible and admit to God that you are a sinner.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EVERONE OWES A SIN_DEBT
Romans 6:23a - "For the wages of sin is death;"

By wages, the Bible means penalty or debt. There are consequences for our sin. Just as a criminal must face punishment for his crime, so must we pay a penalty for our sin. This penalty is death - an eternal death which is also called the Second Death.

Revelation 20:14 - 15 - "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Secondly, you must realize that if you die in your sins, then you must pay the penalty for sin by dying in Hell - forever.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EVERYONE'S SIN-DEBT HAS BEEN PAID
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Although sin brings eternal death, God wants to give us eternal life. You must realize that you cannot gain eternal life by going to church, being baptized, or by just being a good person. As a matter of fact, it is a gift of God. You can't buy or earn your way to Heaven. Eternal life is obtained through Jesus Christ alone.

John 14:6 - "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Romans 5:8 - "But God commendeth His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

So the third thing you must believe is that Jesus has paid your sin debt by dying for you, and eternal life is only gained through Him.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EVERYONE CAN BE SAVED
Although Jesus died to pay everyone's sin debt, not everyone is on their way to Heaven. You must personally receive God's Gift of eternal life. You must believe what Jesus has done for you, and ask Him to save you.
Romans 10:9 - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Romans 10:13 - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

If you would like to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, simply bow your head and humbly:

1. Admit to God that you are a sinner.
2. Tell Him you believe Jesus died for you.
3. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins and save your soul.
4. Then believe that He promised to save you.

John 5:24 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

Answer 2

We have a goal when we incarnate. Life and survival become addicting and we only repeat the same old things over and over. This wears out the RNA and starts to create cells that are not ideal(aging). If we own our emotions and live life from a point where we aren't just recreating more of the past, then we begin to complete the souls' agenda.
Look at it like this; If you were building a house, and your best tool broke, you wouldn't quit working on the house, you would go buy a new tool. (The human body is just a tool for the soul to use to learn something, if the body breaks down and dies, you find a new tool(body) to complete the task.

Your soul wears the body, and while incarnated the soul is limited by the brain and mind that it has. It is up to us to break those limits to occomplish our goal.

We often incarnate in strange bodies to learn an important lesson. We have been rich, poor, smart, stupid, king, slave, follower and leader, just to give some examples. Most of us have been a warrior of some sort.

The goal is reaching the higher levels of consciousness, where the miracles are possible. Miracles are every day occurances for beings who have acheived such states of consciousness. We only call it a miracle because we don't understand how its done,....yet. Or that we think that miracles are only works of god and his chosen ones. Everyone has the ability to reach these realms. It takes a strong will to do so and lots of patience. It rarely happens over night. Most of the time it takes the larger part of a persons life being dedicated to such thinking and practice. Riding a bike is a simple task compared to learning "Christ Consciousness"

You can do it. Nothing is impossible. Your body believes every word you say, you are the programmer. You control what you think. This is very important to understand. Seek knowledge within, external authorities rarely have the real answer. Reality is relative to the one experiencing it. Good journey.

Answer 3

The trinity isn't a Catholic factor in any respect, it is a aspect of almost each Christian denomonation. Being 'born once more' is a extra natural time period amongst protestants. And only a be aware to the man or woman who stated the King James Bible, I'm no longer certain in which you are getting your expertise from however that variation is fitting much less and not more natural, so much church buildings in this day and age use the NIV, and as for swearing on it, no person will have to honestly swear on a Bible considering the Bible itself says to not swear on some thing, "allow your sure be sure and your no be no".

Answer 4

The need to be born again is just a symbolic way of saying that unless you are humble and fearful of God like a child, you will not come in God's favor, kingdom, unity, or whatever you want to call it.

For the Angel is even worse, They are the blood suckers demanding blood and to whom the Messiah said:

(John 6:53Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.)

Be no fool and be wise, that the messiah talked to men and Angels ant the same time!.

Which is a simple formula because away from God we are lost to our own ignorance, false beliefs, false gods, false prophets, world's bestial system. So if you were born right the first time then you would never die. Because your genes would be perfect. Even the Messiah was born from a woman and was to become of age.

Answer 5

"Born Again's" believe that by changing their evil ways and following "God", there souls will be saved from Mr. Horny Pitchfork. It's all bull, when you die you don't go anywhere but in the ground to rot and turn to dust. There is no Magical Kingdom in the sky, and no Evil Fiery Furnace below. The church is just a way to take in lots of money and not have to pay taxes, and even though there is this myth of separation of church and state, as soon as the government does something the church doesn't like, they come out in droves protesting. Take gay marriage. They turned that into their big hot button issue to steer everyone away from their pedophile priests. Then of course, after they get home from church on Sunday, they start lying and cheating and drinking and beat on the family, etc. I live in MA, where gay marriage is legal. Now, did the sky fall ? Did the sun stop coming up ? Did the earth open up and swallow the entire state ? Has it hurt my marriage in any way ? No to all. Personally, I think they should ban churches. All they do is cause trouble. History has proven this all through the past. The Inquisition, The Holocaust, you name it and religion was behind it.

Answer 6

It is a spiritual birth through your faith in Jesus Christ-- it is being redeemed by Him, born again in His Spirit. See Ephesians 1.
"Unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God" John 3:3

Answer 7

No, we are all born sinners so we aren't born right the first time. We need to repent of our sins and ask God to forgive us and then we are born again, that's when we're "born right."

Answer 8

The Bible says that you were born into a world of sin.

Answer 9

your first birth is a natural birth. your physical body and soul come into life.

but your spirit is inactive, "dead" ... in order to activate your spirit, to bring it to life, you must be "born again"... it is just simply giving your life to Jesus, asking Him to come into your life, this wipes you of your past, and instead of being born into sin, like the rest of the world is because of the devil, you are born into God, into an inheritance with Jesus Christ, your born again, as your past is gone and things have become new, you are spiritually alive :-)

its amazing!
