Thread: How To Get To Heaven When You Die

  1. #1

    Default How To Get To Heaven When You Die

    ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?

    There are some things that you should know:

    1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:

    Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

    Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

    This all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain which this world sees is the result of sin.

    2. Because of our sins, we die both spiritually and physically, but God sent His Son to die so that you can have a chance not to have to go to hell by accepting what He did on the cross for you:

    Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

    Ro 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. for us."

    Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Even if we lie one time, the punishment is hell, which is a prison for those who commit crimes against God. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already committed a sin which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the president can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die.

    3. If you will confess to Jesus Christ that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior, accept Him as Lord and Savior and believe in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead you will be saved.

    Ro 10:9,10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.."

    Joh 1:12 Joh 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name”

    You cannot get to heaven by being a good person, going to church, baptism or any other way other than by turning to Jesus and asking Him to forgive you for your sins and save you. While these are good things to do, some people believe that they will get to heaven if they do these things, but the bible says that there is only one way to heaven and that is through receiving what Jesus Christ did on the cross for you.

    Will you do that today? If you will, you can be 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you die.

    Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins? Are you willing to turn from your sins to Jesus Christ for Salvation? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

    <o></o>
    4. If you are willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior please humble yourself before God and pray this prayer to Him from your heart:

    "Dear LORD JESUS, I believe that YOU died on the Cross and Rose from the dead for my sins. I ask you to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins, take me to heaven when I die. I now receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus holy name, Amen."

    If you prayed that prayer to God, and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven when you die.

    Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism.<o></o>

    I'm a Christian and I've never been baptized. According to my father's church, that's fine. According to my mom's church, it isn't.

    What do I do?

    Also I'd like to see some actual discussion out of the OP instead of a wall of copypasta.

    I'm sorry if the tract seems to be lengthy, but I need to explain the gospel to people and it takes a bit. Secondly, you don't have to be baptized to be SAVED, but you should be baptized if you are already saved. It is a public profession of faith and Jesus commands all believers to do so. Not to do so is to disobey God.

    Hey what does God think about hobbits, Frodo? I mean, you're not mentioned anywhere in the bible, so I guess you must be feeling pretty sore about that.

    Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

    Ro 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

    That doesn't say where it's required though. If anything, it just looks like a recommendation. -.-

    Jesus said "go" and "baptize" He didn't say to do it if you feel like it. It is a command.

    It tells you to go forth and do it. There is no should, nor anything that sounds like it suggest that.

    It just tells them to baptize people.

    If god is all loving, then why would I be damned for the way I was brought up? I wasn't brought up to worship like this, I wasn't baptized, so chances are that's how I'll stay.

    "Have you accepted Jesus as your personal lord and savior?"
    "No, but I love his work."

    Pretty much the best quote ever.



    Jesus with dinosaurs is my favorite thing in the world, basically.
