I have read your reply and take it into consideration. I would like to ask your personal opinion on something. What do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? When you stand before God and if he were to hypothetically ask you, "Russianbear, why should I let you into My heaven?" What would you say?

One thing that gets me really upset is for people to portray God as something he's not. But to answer your question, I believe this summarizes what I believe about salvation:

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. (Mark 16:16.15)

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

And it shall be that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.(Acts 2:21)

... and brought them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." (Acts 16:30-31)

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8)

I know we disagree on many things but we do agree on that. I am glad to hear that. Have you ever trusted Jesus Christ as Your Savior and Lord? If you have ever done that how and when did it happen?
