Good christian

[heron]

As I have been confirmed and chistened and live a 'good' life, will i go to heaven despite the fact that I rejected the Christian God in favout of the mother goddess?

It strikes me as an odd question. Why would you wish to spend eternity with God if you don't believe He exists? And what reason would God have to want you there, if you refuse to speak with Him? I know that sounds mean, but think about it -- you're trying to ensure the best of both worlds.

....Some Christians will claim that anyone who rejects Jesus will not enter heaven, but there is no Scriptural basis for this claim, and it is unlikely that anyone anywhere will be frightened into accepting Christianity.

Our Lord certainly said that no-one comes to the Father but through him, but to extrapolate from this to the suggestion that eternity is closed to all but Christians is not what the Bible actually says, and it contradicts texts elsewhere which suggest that each person will be judged individually, on their own merits. Christians will have Christ to intervene on their behalf, but God's mercy is by no means closed to other faiths.

Actually Jesus said this and if you believe that he is the Son of God and did not lie, then you are incorrect if you as a believer do not agree to this truth. What other texts are you talking about? The Gnostic stuff?

JN 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. [7] If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

Sapphos, just remember "not all is well on mother Earth". There is a spiritual war going on, between evil and good, God and Satan. They are fighting for our souls and everybody should be very vigilant and very careful. God was doing, whatever He was doing, in order to win this battle, to protect His chosen ones from the evil and the corruption. (although they chose the ignore that protection and did what they wanted anyways and were separated from God and were corrupted by the evil)

According to the Bible, there are people who believe in Christ and will not be condemned, and who don't believe, and will be condemned.

JOH 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

Also, whoever only believes in God, but not Jesus, is not correct either.
1JO 5:11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

1JO 4:15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.

Two kinds of people: those taken captive by the devil and those freed by Christ. Which camp are you in?

2TI 2:26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

GAL 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

COL 1:13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,



1PE 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

I am have been baptised and confirmed but have since had a revalation and converted.
However I live a good life by christian standards.

I cannot be sure, however the fact that you willing admit you have rejected God, and accepted an idol says no to me.

It's sort of like breaking up a friendship and blocking their calls, but then asking if you're invited to their wedding.

That's a great analogy.

Sapph-

No.

Jesus wants your whole heart. Why should He let you into His heaven when your heart is elsewhere?

You can not live a life by Christian standards if you reject God, his son or any part of him. Living by Christian standards does not mean just being nice to people and not breaking the law, it means you live to serve the Lord!!! And if you don't live to serve the Lord then you are not living by Christian standards.

I hear people say the live like Christians but have not accepted Christ into their lives........well then you do not live like a Christian and you can do great things all day long but if you have not accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior and gotten down on your knees and repented your sins, then you are not living like a Christian by any standards.

I hear people say the live like Christians but have not accepted Christ into their lives......

Jesus once said "Truly, truly, I say to you, If one is not generated from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God."

There seems to be more to that verse than being rescued from Hell. We can't see or enter His kingdom -- I interpret that as not being able to see or enter the current kingdom, the realm that God operates in now.

The Christian life can sometimes feel like a third dimension, where prayer connects cause and effect, people network simply from hearing and responding, and needs are exchanged with resources in the strangest ways. Honoring Him as King allows us to be a part of things.

"...he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God. That having been generated out of the flesh is flesh, and that having been generated out of the Spirit is spirit.

Do not wonder because I said to you, You must be generated from above. The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice; but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone having been generated from the Spirit."

John 3
