The bible says, " Once we are in Christ" we are a new creation. Therefore, if we receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, we are saved..
What about those people who received Christ but did not bother to have relationship with Christ and forgot about Jesus's love. Do they go to heaven? What if they think that they received Jesus Christ but still living worldly life? continously sinning? will they still go to heaven just because they received Jesus Christ once in their lives? what do you think?

i think when a person gets the revelation of Christ thats when the door is opened ... its up to the person to walk through it and walk in it ..

Good question, Now the according to Romans 10 verse 9 and 10 thats how someone gets saved now if that person says that accept christ but really doesnt mean it then they are not sayed. God says that man judges the outer But God judges the heart. Now once a person accept Christ he is saved and sealed by the Holy Spirit which is it talked about in Titus chapter one and in Ephesians the entire book. Salvation is not based on works but based on you believing and accepting Jesus Christ completed work on the cross of Calvary. Now the bible does tell us that everyone that says Lord Lord shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven , because God sees that persons heart and knows rather or not that person was truly confessing Jesus As Lord and Savoir. Once a person accept Christ he is a new creature meaing that he identifies with Christ Christ comes and lives on the inside of him and that how were are sealed i hope this has been a help to you, but please becarefull and pick up the King James bible and read yourself. remember not everyone that says lord lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Confessing believing releazing that you are a sinner thats in need of a savoir and that Jesus Christ came and lived a perfect life and died for the world that who ever would accept him will be saved . God sees the heart of man

The question is Did they actually recieve Jesus into their hearts or did they just say some words that they didn,t really mean. There are 2 people that you cannot lie to in this world. Yourself and Jesus Christ. You know whether or not you were saved. And so does Jesus.Nobody else really knows because nobody else can know.
The bible does teach Eternal Security to believers but as Jesus told Necademus ( Ye must be born again)

The Lord is very forgiving it is 92% likely and 1% unlikely and 7% anything that you go to Heaven if you recieve the Lord once but only sin smally. But it is likely more than anything.

You are beginning to see the potholes in the modern western Christian concept of salvation. Keep asking questions like this. With 100 self-interpretations, you will get at least 65 different answers.
Read what the ancient Christian church was taught by the apostles. They were very clear on the subject.

he that endures to the end will be saved
and the meek shall inherit the earth
and abide there forever
we are not once saved always saved...Paul said even after he had gone through all his persecution for Christ he hope he wasn't disapproved somehow and lose out on life.
It is a continuous thing.
