“Right on the front page, Our Church Website has this quote from Swedenborg: “All people that live good lives no matter what their religion, have a place in Heaven”
If it really says that, it is a further testimony of the error of Swedenborg’s belief system, for it conflicts with the words of the Bible. Living a good life will not get you to heaven.

Rom 3: 10 as it is written,There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God; 12 They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:
20* because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.
21* But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22* even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;
23* for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
24* being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25* whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;
