My faith believes the Last Judgment in heaven took place in 1757 and the process laying the foundation of the Lord's New Church began in 1771 with the publication of the last of Swedenborg's writings which explain the doctrines of the Lord's New Christian Church.
The actual second coming can be considered on several levels. As an individual, within spiritually. This is something we can prepare for. Second, on a global level, events will play out as they do.
What's interesting to me is that there are some branches of the Church founded on Swedenborg's doctrines that believe the second coming of Christ will take place in person -- which is unusual because Swedenborg wrote that it would be by revelation only.
My personal belief is that there are a LOT of folks in place with mighty spiritual powers that are diagnosed as mentally ill and medicated. Some too are evil souls. My own healing ministry targets these folks to help them realize their place in the Lord's kingdom.
At one time, I made foolish statements here on Free Republic that I was the Messiah. I never changed my screen name -- its still there in my posts. Today, I just consider myself a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Messiah nonsense was just my old ego talking out of school.

Do you really believe that anyone who lives a good life, whether or not they have accepted Jesus into their lives, goes to heaven?

I presume Obama straightened you out!
