Degrees of reward in Heaven.

[gord44]

So have I. I have submitted myself to God through the sacrifice of his son, Jesus, and I am redeemed by his perfect life which erases my own balance sheet of deeds.

Excellent my friend. On the Day of Judgement, people won't be separated by Christian or Muslim, but by those who submitted and those who didn't.

The good works of my life are not a futile attempt to overcome my own myriad of sins, but are just an outpouring of the love that God has shown to me.

God is indeed all merciful and all forgiving.

You chose gordRedeemed as a screen name. How is a Muslim redeemed?

I changed it to that a few years ago when I became a Reformed Christian. Although redemption is available to all who turn to God.

I probably won't respond in this thread anymore. This is not the thread or the forum for it. I apologize to the OP, even though I don't believe I started the original deviation from the topic.

Peace

gord, don't you think you should explain to those who befriended you the reason for your conversation?

The very concept of rewards sounds dubious. Even if we arrive in heaven, we will still have been sinners, and are we to expect a reward for that? Those who are saved are saved for the glory of God; not because they deserve to be saved (they don't).
