And you my friend are totally WRONG. My Bible TELLS me if I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior, that if I believe in the Cross, the Work of the Cross, that I WILL be in Heaven with Him. You may not know, but I KNOW.

My Bible TELLS me

And who or what "TELLS" you that the Bible isn't just a bunch of blather and drivel?

Hmmm?

[Salvation]

**My Bible TELLS me **

And your Bible also tells you that there is a hell and that people will be damned to it.

You cannot make and assertion that you are going to heaven of your own power.

That is the judgment of Jesus Christ at the moment you die.

So HOW can you know NOW?

[A.A. Cunningham]

"See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off." Romans 11:22

"Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall." 1 Corinthians 10-11-12

"Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence,) with fear and trembling work out your salvation." Philippians 2:12

My Bible TELLS me if I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior, that if I believe in the Cross, the Work of the Cross, that I WILL be in Heaven with Him.

Would that be an abridged, heavily edited version of the original?

[Cronos]

Perhaps you should read the Bible in more detail and thoroughly?

this is what Jesus said

• He who believes and is baptized will be saved. (Mk 16:16)
• [U]nless you repent you will all likewise perish. (Lk 13:3
• [H]e who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (Jn 6:54)
• 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Matt. 24:13 )
• Matt 25:31-46 34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

  Isn't Jesus pretty clear? you MUST have faith to be saved by the freely given grace of salvation, but however, it is not faith ALONE -- Christ HIMSELF says belief, repentance, baptism, Eucharist, enduring to the end etc.

  Do you believe Jesus's words or not?
