How does a person get to heaven. Tell me exactly what to do.?

Question

I want to know what different people believe.

Please, only real answers .

catholic crusader did not answer my question. what does a person DO? Do they just believe? Do they have to be baptized? Do they have to pay the priest? What?

Answer 1

You have to realize that you are a sinner. You have to believe that Jesus is God's son, that he died to pay the penalty for your sins and you have to repent (turn away from your sins). You never will stop sinning, but if you have really been saved your desires will change. You will have the ability to stop, although you will make mistakes sometimes. You have to make Jesus your Lord, meaning give him control of your life.

As far as baptism, no. You do not have to be baptized to go to heaven. Jesus told the thief on the cross that he would go to paradise, but he was never baptized. Baptism is a command tho. If you are really saved and are capable, you will want to be baptized out of obedience.

Answer 2

When you die, whenever that is, feeling good about your life, having no regrets and no guilt, and feeling that your life was livedaccording to what Jesus taught. No-judgement, compassion, forgiveness, understanding, loving thy neighbour as thyself. Doing unto others as you would want them to do unto you. And the least of this is LOVE.
Love covers everything, first you have to love yourself to be able to give love to others. You have to be all those things that Jesus and others, taught/ forgiveness is another, and non-prejudice is another.
If you live your life this way, you will also find a heaven on earth for yourself, and when you die, you will die in peace and will probably go to wherever you choose to be. Heaven or whatever.

Answer 3

The Right to Enter Paradise

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Answer 4

After studying the Bible for many years, i have come to the conclusion that the spiritual life is a continual approaching unto God through the merits of Christ.

Answer 5

Your body dies.

Regardless of their beliefs, people's near death experiences are remarkably similar in their series of life changing events. The only differences are how God appeared to them.

People who distrust God will distrust the experiences of peoples NDE's. People who know God trust God perfectly.

God is not a belief.

Answer 6

You have to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins. Jesus died on the cross for the salvation of the world, all you have to do is accept His gift of grace and forgiveness.

"...What must we do to be saved?" asked the people. 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."

Answer 10

Imagine yourself transported instantaneously to the bottom of the ocean. What’s the very first thing you’ll do? That’s right: die. You’d die because you aren’t equipped to live underwater. You don’t have the right breathing apparatus.

If you want to live in the deep blue sea, you need equipment you aren’t provided with naturally; you need something that will elevate you above your nature, something super- (that is, "above") natural, such as oxygen tanks.

It’s much the same with your soul. In its natural state, it isn’t fit for heaven. It doesn’t have the right equipment, and if you die with your soul in its natural state, heaven won’t be for you. What you need to live there is supernatural life, not just natural life. That supernatural life is called sanctifying grace. The reason you need sanctifying grace to be able to live in heaven is because you will be in perfect and absolute union with God, the source of all life (cf. Gal. 2:19, 1 Pet. 3:18). Sanctifying is what makes the soul holy; it gives the soul supernatural life. More properly, it is supernatural life.

If sanctifying grace dwells in your soul when you die, then you have the equipment you need, and you can live in heaven (though you may need to be purified first in purgatory; cf. 1 Cor. 3:12–16). If it doesn’t dwell in your soul when you die—in other words, if your soul is spiritually dead by being in the state of mortal sin (Gal. 5:19-21)— you cannot live in heaven. You then have to face an eternity of spiritual death: the utter separation of your spirit from God (Eph. 2:1, 2:5, 4:18). The worst part of this eternal separation will be that you yourself would have caused it to be that way.
