I posted this list before, it's by St Paul in Galatians. He's speaking to members of the Church, telling them how to live as Christians.
Galatians 5: 13-15
Paul gives details in verses 19-21:
Quite a detailed list. And it's obvious that Paul is speaking to those who are SAVED. If they weren't saved, it wouldn't matter what they were doing, whether picking flowers, caring for the sick, or participating in any of the niceties listed above. He's telling his churchmembers, DON'T DO THIS STUFF, GUYS, or you won't go to Heaven.
Sounds pretty clear to me.
Peace be with you,

Galatians 5: 13-15
13 For you were called for freedom, brothers. But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather, serve one another through love. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 15 But if you go on biting and devouring one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.
Paul gives details in verses 19-21:
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, socery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, 21 occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Quite a detailed list. And it's obvious that Paul is speaking to those who are SAVED. If they weren't saved, it wouldn't matter what they were doing, whether picking flowers, caring for the sick, or participating in any of the niceties listed above. He's telling his churchmembers, DON'T DO THIS STUFF, GUYS, or you won't go to Heaven.
