Not true That would mean the Reverend Jim Jones is in heaven right now, for killing people with the Kool Aid. Christ is our way into heaven, but our actions will be judged, Christ's mercy won't save us alone, we must hold up our end of the covenant too. Many Christians try to take the easy way out, and say Christ saved them, when it's a 2 way deal, Christ did his part, and we gotta do our part. You are not saved simply because you accept Christ as your saviour, you have to accept him, and follow the lord's commandments. Peace~
No my friend, you are incorrect. You are saved because you accept Christ as your savior. I'm pretty sure that you've read John 3:16. And your making it out as like I said "All you gotta say is you accepted Christ into your heart and everything is okay for the rest of your life". Of course not. Part of having Christ as your Lord and Savior is striving to have a relationship with him. And having a relationship with him is following his laws etc. Those all go hand in hand.But what if you just became a Christian and then a day, an hour or a second later the rapture occurs? Does that mean he's not going to heaven eventhough he did not have the opportunity to follow the Lord's commandments and do things that people who have been Christians all their lives had the opportunity to do? There is a parable that addresses this very issue. It does not matter how long you've been a Christian or not even how many deeds you've done for the Lord. What matters is the sincereity in your heart and if you really believe Christ died for you.

I agree with that, but you said all you have to do is accept Christ, LOL. Not true. Of course if you die just after accepting christ you'll be fine, but what if you only go to church on sunday, then ignore christ's teachings the rest of the week? You have to live it, and hold up your end of the bargain. That includes god's 2 greatest commandments (according to Jesus) Love thy god, and Love thy neighbor. and Love just doesn't mean no bad will towards them, Love means actively helping them in their life, through charity and good works. Once again, I'll show you a scripture. Of course you'll ignore it, like you did the other ones, but I draw your attention to the ENTIRE CHAPTER of James Chapter 2 in the new testament, which reads, in part:James 2:14 ¶ What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 ¶ Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Gen. 22.1-14 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: Gen. 15.6 and he was called the Friend of God. 2 Chr. 20.7 · Is. 41.8 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? Josh. 2.1-21 26 For as the body without the spirit 1 is dead, so faith without works is dead also.Plain, Black and white, from the bible. Faith alone in Jesus Christ does not save us, but you must also do the work of the lord. You said "It does not matter how long you've been a Christian or not even how many deeds you've done for the Lord."... You're right about the first part, time plays no consideration, but how many deeds you've done definately does, as it says right here in black and white. Peace~
I'm sorry that message came across.The most important thing is definately your relationship with him, and that you love and honor your god. The most important moment in the history of the world was Jesus being martyred, because he did it for everyone, not just his people, but everyone. However, you have to show your faith through your deeds, if possible (like you said though, if you immediately die, you don't have the opportunity to even!). If everyone was saved just by believing in christ, the devil would be saved... Cain believed in God, he even TALKED to him. But he's not saved, because his deeds (killed his brother, was the original murderer) were not consistant with god's commandments (which weren't even necessary back then, lol). Peace~
