What can be more boastful then to declare you are guaranteed heaven ????
Who says you cant be boastful of your faith ?
Telling others that they will burn in hell unless they adopt your interpretation of faith is outright arrogance.
Everytime a Protestant chides a Catholic or Mormon......... it is the height of boasting.

DIRECTIONS TO OUR FATHERS HOUSE
Make a Right onto Believeth Blvd.
Keep Straight and go through the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ.
There you must turn onto the Bridge of Faith, which is over Troubled Waters.
When you get off the bridge, make a Right Turn and Keep Straight.
You are on the King's Highway-Heaven-Bound.
Keep going for three miles; One for The Father, One for The Son, and One for The Holy Ghost.
Then exit off onto Grace Blvd.
From there, make a Right turn on Gospel Lane.
Keep Straight and then make another Right on Prayer Road.
As you go your way, Yield Not to the Traffic on Temptation Ave.
Also, avoid Sin Street because it's a Dead End.
Pass up Envy Drive and Hate Ave.
Also pass Hypocrisy St, Gossiping Lane, and Backbiting Blvd.
However, you have to go down Long-Suffering Lane, Persecution Blvd.,and Trials and Tribulations Ave.
But that's all right, because Victory Street is Straight Ahead...
You can boast to about going to heaven if you will only except Jesus.He is the One that we are boasting about because without Him we couldn't go neither.

Maybe they're not boasting...maybe it just comes out that way or seems that way to you...maybe they're just excited and happy and relieved, but don't know how to express it where you can receive it. Maybe all their life they've been ridiculed and told they didn't have a chance at getting to Heaven..then God touched them and they changed and are happy about the change. I think maybe some of them forgot that part of a verse that says,"...and such were you"...like they forgot where they came from. I think their talking against other churches comes from what they're taught at the church they go to now. I don't know for sure...I'm just trying to find some answers for you.PS.. We are "saved by Grace...lest anyone should boast." (from somewhere in the Bible).

I tell no one they are going to hell, but I will boast that through Christ's death and Resurrection, I will see the streets of heaven. You may as well if you choose too

Christians should not boast, for that is prideful.
We celebrate and rejoice because we have received salvation as a gift from the one true God.
Praise Christ!

I can guarantee and boast to everyone that I'm going to win the lottery, but that's probably not going to increase my chances.

I agree that no one knows they are saved until they stand before God and he grants them admittance into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Everyday is a struggle for me to try to get one step closer to that goal.
Some days I fall short.

No idea- I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would want to spend an eternity as a slave...

Because it's the truth.....
And we want to share that truth with you.
Our warnings of hell are only spoken because they are from the heart and they are the truth of Scripture. We are simply the messangers of this good news (salvation)
If you misconstrue our love for judgment.....then that's your problem.
