No matter what you say or what you believe the rules are the same. You cannot enter heaven unless you are saved. God's got a way that you can't go over, a way you can't go under, a way you can't go around. You must come in at the door.
I'm an avid watcher of First 48. I watch it ever day. One thing that a family member always says is "I'm glad they are in a better place". Who am I to judge or correct someone? However what I do know is that according to the way they died, or what they were doing before their death, I'm not too sure he was a Christian.
One must be saved before entering heaven. You have to give your life to Christ and fully commit. You have to confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Christ died for your sins. The only way to God is through Jesus.
I say this to say if you are walking around thinking because you are a nice person you do not have to be saved to go to heaven, you are wrong. There is a process and after the process there is continued behavior expected.
Romans 10:4-10
4 -10The earlier revelation was intended simply to get us ready for the Messiah, who then puts everything right for those who trust him to do it. Moses wrote that anyone who insists on using the law code to live right before God soon discovers it's not so easy—every detail of life regulated by fine print! But trusting God to shape the right living in us is a different story— no precarious climb up to heaven to recruit the Messiah, no dangerous descent into hell to rescue the Messiah. So what exactly was Moses saying?
The word that saves is right here,
as near as the tongue in your mouth,
as close as the heart in your chest. It's the word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching. Say the welcoming word to God—"Jesus is my Master"—embracing, body and soul, God's work of doing in us what he did in raising Jesus from the dead. That's it. You're not "doing" anything; you're simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for you. That's salvation. With your whole being you embrace God setting things right, and then you say it, right out loud: "God has set everything right between him and me!"
Do not go another day believing you are going to a better place if you are not save. Call your pastor right now or send us a email so that we can help you take the steps tobecome saved Until next time....
