Do you do all 3?
He read in the bible saying, "If you do bad stuff like curse, disrespect anyone, you're going to hell." So be honest.

of course i say no to all three. i do not adhere to religious dogma. and blindly accepting that which has no evidence, from a scientific standing, is foolish.
i understand right from wrong based on an altruistic philosophy, i need no god to instill threats of hell or bribery of heaven to do good deeds, i do what i do because i want to live in a decent society and i act accordingly.
when someone knocks on your door and says they have the answers to all of life's questions, i would be skeptical. do your own research, check up all sorts of perspectives and try to find out what makes the most sense. free thought and rationality is precious, and i dont think that we have evolved with such powerful tools to simply forgo their use.

First of all, the only way to Heaven is through salvation through Jesus Christ. Once you become saved, you grow in the Lord. Meaning yes, you do go to church, yes you do get baptized, and yes you believe in God as the father. Will these things make you saved? No, only Jesus Christ has that authority. And secondly, the bible does speak against profanity, as well as loving your neighbor as yourself. Will it send you straight to hell? I believe backsliding from your salvation is a work in progess. God knows that christians will mess up. He will forgive us if we ask. But if sin becomes an everyday occurence, and we fail to ask forgiveness, and then the sin just becomes apart of who we are, then yes, your soul will be in danger of hell. Some people do not believe in backsliding, but hey; it's in the bible for some reason!

ebone...you are going to get some crazy answers here..
Believing in God and accepting Christ is a must. Getting baptized is optional (depending on your denomination) but its a nice physical expression of being washed of your sins. Church on Sunday God encourages us to do because you get to fellowship with other believers and hear His Word from an authoritative source (the pastor).
This "Do not pass Go, go straight to Hell" idea is based on the Christian belief that you cant get to Heaven if you deny Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Once you have accepted Him, you try to live your life in a way that shows appreciation for His sacrifice. Those things you do wont do any more to secure your place in Heaven but they may put a little more shine on the crown of Glory He has for you.

Peter said, when they asked him,,,what must we do to be saved......Acts 2:38 (New International Version
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Now you need to read carefully the book of Acts to make sure you are filled with the Holy Ghost...pay careful attention to Chap 10...see what hajppened to the first Gentile converts.....see how they knew they had received the Holy Spirit....

He didn't read that in the Bible. The New Testament says that nothing that we do on earth gets us into heaven or hell. it is by faith and grace that we are saved.

It doesn't appear that De'Sean knows the bible very well.

How untrue. It's not the physical things you do that bring you further.
