What's really going to frost some people here is that, if Creflo is saved, he will go to heaven. His works will be burned, but he will still be saved.

I know, naysayers, it doesn't seem fair, and it doesn't seem right, but God promised each of us the same promise through the finished work of Christ.

If he is saved, he will indeed.

“What’s really going to frost some people here is that, if Creflo is saved, he will go to heaven. His works will be burned, but he will still be saved.

And therein lies the stumbling block that will send many Christians who think they have a lock on Heaven straight to Satan’s realm. Being saved requires much more than persuasive Liberal go to phrase of “Jesus didn’t condemn anyone.”

Being saved requires abject, genuinely sorrowful and heartfelt repentance and a genuine effort to stop sinful behavior. If Jesus’ sacrifice was the end, then we could all do as we please with no fear of consequences. Today’s society would like to brainwash everyone into thinking that they’re okay, whatever they choose to do because; after all, Jesus died for all sinners. Indeed He did. But a gay couple who asks the church to recognize that they will go on sinning the rest of their lives and condone it, the thief who keeps stealing, the murderer who keeps killing, the adulterer who continues to betray, etc., see no need to repent in these modern times because they are being told they have excuses for continuing in sin or for condoning it. They have a “condition”, they were abused, it’s a loved one, or, worst of all “G-d made them that way.”

Yes, even a genuine deathbed repentance after a lifetime of wrongdoing will save a soul. But today’s Liberalism tends to dull the consciences of even Christians to the point where they see no need for it. To hear a Liberal speak, you’d think Hell is going to be empty.
