Salvation/Heaven

[lonnienord]

I suppose we have all heard the simplistic formula for going to heaven. I wish it was that simple. Unfortunately it is much more complex.

The correct answer to the question "If you die tonight would you go to heaven?" is I hope so!!

In this thread i will present several scriptures explaning the complexity of salvation. Lets start with the ulitmate goal. Who is going to heaven?

[BIBLE]Matthew 25:31-40[/BIBLE]

Oh, I posted the same verses under ''Sharing scripture'' half an hour before you posted this one, lonnie nord. These verses speak so much to my heart. It is about doing His will in this world, to see others through His eyes, and to be His hands and His feet.

is baptism necessary?
John 3:3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[BIBLE]John 3:5[/BIBLE]
Mark 16:16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
