Hi All,
I have something troubling me. I am perhaps asking this to the ones who believes the same as I do. I believe that we are saved by grace through faith and the only way to the Farther is through Jesus Christ.
So I believe in the death, burial and physical body resurrection of Jesus Christ and He died for our sins and salvation. Nothing we can do can get us into Heaven, only by grace through your faith in Him can get you there.
Now, There are churches and denominations that has different beliefs. Some believe they have to do things to get saved and that you have to work to get into Heaven in a way. Others believe that the Bible must be interpreted spiritually and that also changes certain views on how to get saved. Others believe the Old Laws are still in place. They also reference the Bible to state their case and they truly believe in their ways.
Some of them also dedicate much more of their time to their belief and serve the God of the Bible the best way they can, they pray to Him and live their life just for Him.
I find it confusing/hard to believe/fighting within myself that these people who dedicate their life to God and in their hearts truly love God and life their life just for Him will technically not get saved according to the doctrine held by myself and others. They have been taught differently and they truly do not believe that they are incorrect, they read the Bible and confirm the way they do things. They are not maliciously or deliberately denying the Gospel as how we understand it. They truly believe the Gospel as they have been taught and how they read the Bible. They might believe Jesus was an example for us and they believe in Him but they try to live like Him and speak directly to God for assistance. Some believe more in their deeds than anything else.
If we keep with our doctrine that means they do not get saved and even if they in their hearts truly live for God it does not matter. I am struggling to make sense of this.
Then on the other hand you get those who deny God even exists and they mock God. They will also not get saved. How can one who truly in their heart tries and serve God to the best of their ability and understanding be just as "doomed" as someone who denies God?
This post is directed to those who hold the same Gospel as I do. I am not trying to cause a fight about who is correct and who is not. Even if the shoe was on the other side and our view was incorrect we would also be "doomed"
