Interesting reading, and I have no doubt that many Muslims, who believe in Jesus as the Messiah-a prophet sent to the Jewish people-are thinking exactly the same thing as they work for the Red Crescent or other Islamic charitable organizations.
I am sure Hell will be filled with people who know Jesus is real and who have done good works in his name, just as it will be filled with those who did not believe Jesus ever existed and never did any good works.
Unlike Muslims, Christians do not believe that God will let people choose to repent and come to paradise after they choose to go to Hell.
I hope you end up making the right choice.
PS: I get the Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) and I know it is a requirement of Islam that you do not use the name of Allah or a Prophet without using an appropriate blessing. I respect your desire to honor God in this way, even if I do not believe you follow the correct path.

I do belive that Jesus will come back, and if u read that chapter properly, Jesus said that to people who called on his name falsely and did those things for the wrong reasons. For the true christians, He said that He will come and take us too the mansions already prepared 4 us in heaven where we will live forever at the right hand of His Majesty The Lord Almighty. By the way, (pbuh) is ANNOYING. x

15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognise them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognise them.
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
You have contently taken this passage out of context. The meaning of this that many who profess to be Christian as maybe yourself (I do not know your heart) do not believe and trust the Jesus of the bible. rather they have created a Jesus they are more comfortable with. In Mathew 7: 15-20 you will see that Jesus is talking about false prophets and false converts. "You will know then by their fruit" Are you a Christian but you still live in sin. Would your friends and co-workers be surprised to learn you are a Christian. Do you blend into the world in dress, language and actions after you leave Sunday morning service. Then you need to examine yourself. If the sprit dwells in you, you will want to obey God's commandments, and it is not a burden because we love the Lord. Read 1 John if you have any doubt about your salvation. Their you will find the signs of a true believer.
1. You will obey God's commandments
2. You will love your Christian brother
3. You will not love this world
So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies. And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an Antichrist. Anyone who denies the Son dozen’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

Not all Christians believe the same thing. Some believe that all you have to do is believe and be saved. That scripture lets you know there is more to salvation than just belief. Those people believed ,but were damned.You must read the Bible line upon line precept upon precept here a little there a little.

Is it ok to say (pbuh) instead of 'peace be upon him?'
I say a lot of Muslims I've read believe that the Bible you've quoted from has been corrupted, and isn't accurate. So why quote a corrupted verse?
I don't believe it has been corrupted, and I do believe many folks claiming to be Christians will be lumped in with other non-believers.

Many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, cast out devils in your name, and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them to their face, 'I never knew you; out of my sight, you and your wicked ways!'"
My thoughts are...that those who live or mirror the lives of the saducees and pharisees even in today's time are also the ones whjo do things so that SOCIETY SEES them doing these things..NOT due to their faith...but to SHOW people how "faithful" they really are...when in all reality..."their lips may honour me but their hearts are far away from me."
Isaiah 29:13 (13-24)
Matthew 15:8 (7-9)
they are what I like to call GMs (Glory of Men) they are out to show mankind how they are so spiritual..when their left hand shouldn't even know what their right hand is doing...

We all need to put faith in Jesus to be redeemed. Trusting in our own goodness won't do. Trusting in prophets who don't fit descriptions of prophets in the Bible, and who actually fit the pattern for false prophets very well, and also deny core teaching about salvtion, is unwise in the extreme - may God free everyone who falls for deception from the subtleties they have fallen for or been born into.
God has said that claims that His word are corrupted won't do at the last judgement, as Jesus has said that if you believe the message of the gospel you will come to know it is true.
Romans 3:23 For ALL [me, you and every human no matter how good they regard themselves] have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption THAT CAME BY JESUS CHRIST. God presented Him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in His blood [i.e. those who trust in Him are saved] ...
He did it to demonstrate His justice [He can't just let people off] at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies the man who has faith in him.
Note the self-acclaimed prophet Mohammed never submitted to this true offer of salvation; you would be unwise to follow him for your salvation.
---------
Of course its important to grow in faith and so in practical goodness. But this isn't external acts like going to church or mosque regularly .. God looks at the heart and your internal thoughts and wants that right first.
--------
There has been healing, mostly not in the limelight but on the mission field . Some TV evangelists may get rather tempted by the glamour and so and lose their way. But there is a miracle power available to believers in Christ even if not seen much .. part of the proof the gospel is not a lie or corrupt.

I think you're right. At the moment, we are at war because of prophecy, and we must learn we cannot manipulate God and rearrange the world to suit ourselves. The mixture of religion and politics is a dangerous and violent thing, with one group proclaiming superiority over the other and morality disappearing altogether.

Wow, what a typical way of using any piece of scripture, regardless of what it may actually be talking about, to prove your point. Its funny, people point out Christians the most for taking scripture out of context, and here you are doing it!
The passage you are refering to is not talking about Jesus followers, but those to pretend to be followers. In this particular passage, Jesus is telling his followers that there will be false prophesiers and heretics that will come forward and try to get into heaven, but they will be cast aside for their falsity. He isn't saying that his own followers are doing it...
Next time, do you think you could clean up your cut and paste from another website so we can actually read it, and spell out the "you" and "are," this isn't a cell phone, so no need to text message us.

10 million children under the age of five died last year from hunger and disease. What exactly is keeping Jesus in heaven?
