am I hell bound? Purgatory bound? or Heaven bound?

LOL! That is not for me to judge.

Knowing what I know about you, I'm confident that you are heaven bound!

Knowing what I don't know about you, I have no way of saying whether you might undergo some purgation of residual attraction to sin and the effects of sin.

Nothing impure enters heaven. Its not enough to be covered in His Blood, when underneath the corruption remains. The corruption simply cannot enter Christ's presence.

but don't worry. Like a comet approaching the Sun, trailing away its impurities as the heat and radiation from that Sun bears them away, your residual impurities will be burned away too before you come into full contact with the Beatific vision.

Its a simple idea. And its true.

I appreciate the vote of confidence (not that human votes of confidence count :-)... However, you know:

- I am a Calvinist (Amyraldian flavor)
- I do not embrace the Real Presence doctrine
- I believe Jesus died for me and I have trusted in what He did on Calvary alone as the full payment for my sins.

Would this make you reassess my potential destiny?

Interesting. Didn't Christ complete the job on the cross. When He said, "It is finished", did he mistate and actually mean, "It is almost finished, but you might have to do some time in purgatory to seal the deal?"

I know Steve is heaven bound..He has done exactly what the scripture demands..Repent and believe

No extras..plain and simple

pity the man that thinks there is salvation in rules and regulations...that is how he will be judged..and he will be lost because of it because no man can keep any law perfectly except Christ

I mourn for my lost family...they tried so hard...but no man earns heaven
