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, except 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?
4. If you are willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior please pray this prayer to God 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 from your heart 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.
If you could supply some verses about dying and going to heaven as a promised to anyone.

If you prayed that prayer from your heart 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.
Why attend a Bible believeing church? You Prayed! and You are Saved, You were sincere, You are on your way to Heaven.
Why be Baptized? You will just get wet, You are Saved, You are on your way to Heaven.
If you go to a church they will want Money. Want you to teach a Class, Drive a Bus, Cut Grass, Clean the Building, Go to meeting.
All of this can take time away from Hunting, Fishing, Ball Games, Football, Super Bowl, Favorit TV Program, Sports YOU WILL MISS MANY CHANCES TO SHARE THE PRAYER OF FAITH TO LOST SOULS. dOES THIS MAKE SENCE?
It says in my bible - to give unto Caesar - what is Caesars and unto god - those things that belong to god.
If you want to have a preacher say a few kind words over you when you die, you have to have preachers and a church for his followers to worship in.
At my house, I have Gas, Water, Electric, Telephone, TV. Cable, Sewage, Rent, Car Insurance, Fire insurance, Health Insurance, food, clothes, shoes, soap - to do the laundry and a couple of dollars a month to buy some cigarette's and BEER!
Now you want to begrudge some person that is willing to give his life to Christ and to the church - which might pay him $12000 a year to preach the good word.
What is your part of the contribution - $2.00 - $20.00 a week, depending on just how generous you are?
Now you tell me - in a congregation of 100 people that gives $2.00 a week, how is this person going to get rich?
As I see it, God gave me 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week.
Jesus asked his disciples to sit with him for a spell while he prayed that God wouldn't let hiscrucifiction happen. What happened - they all fell asleep.
How many of you people sleep in church?
If I can't give GOD 1 hour a week - to go to church and count my blessings and get down on my marrow bones and thank him for all that I have. Then there is something wrong with me and I don't deserve to have the 24 hours / 7 days a week / 365 days a year that he gives me to do his work and mine too.
Hunting and fishing is just a hobby of mine. If I couldn't do it anymore - it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I think Mr. Fife is being facetious here. I think he's responding to the implication in the original post that once youbecome "a chld of God," that's sufficient, you don't have to be baptized or go to church etc.
I could be wrong but that's what I picked up from the tone of his post.

I heard Jesus He drank wine and I bet we'd get along just fine.
I believe in the existance in the God of the bible because:
1) The hundreds of the Prophecies of Jesus Christ that were written hundreds of years before His first comming that came true in Him.
2) The way that the bible was written by God through 40 people in different parts of the world, some were rich, some were poor and yet it doesn't contradict. How in the world could that be?
3) I PERSONALLY know God. I have relationship with Him and He has spoken to me both audibly and performed miracles in my life and my family.
4) Testimony of many, many others who have died, were brain dead and either went to hell (if the weren't a Christian) or went to heaven (the ones that WERE a Christian), some met Jesus. Their testimonies are too similar and they don't even know each other.
5) The way that the demonically possessed people react to the name and the blood of Jesus Christ. I have personally seen demons and have done battle with them.
6) All of the signs that are going on in the world today that perfectly line up with the bible predictions. For instance:
a) The bible predicted that there would be a revived roman empire in the end. (the European union is the revived roman empire)
b) The bible predicts the 666, or the mark of the beast (people are getting micro chips implanted under their skin right now voluntarily, but many think it will turn into the mark of the beast.) It predicts that no one will be able to buy/sell unless they recieve the mark of the beast and eventually anyone who takes the mark will be murdered. This is because the Christians will be removed from the world and satan will possess a body of a man who will become the world dictator.
C) The bible predicts a one world government. Did you know that U.S., Canada and Mexico are going to merge soon? Ever heard of the New World Order? Ever heard of a globalist? Ever heard of a nafta superhighway? These terms are all linked to the New World Order, which George Bush Sr. Predicted in 1990, which is also predicted in the bible.
D) The bible predicted that homosexuality would become prominent. To paraphrase, it said "as it was in the days of lot, so shall it be in the day of the comming..." It also said that it would be as the days of noah. In noah's day, there was widespread violence on the earth. Some would relate this to terrorism.
E) Israel as a nation ceased to be in 70 A.D. The bible predicted that they would become a nation again, which they did in 1948 a.d. and that they would reclaim Jerusalem, which they did in 1967 a.d. It says that Jerusalem would be trampled of the gentiles until the time of the gentiles be fulfilled.
I could go on and on and on, but I have EVERY reason to believe that the bible is true and that the Lord's comming is very near. You need to get ready. Read this first post and pray that prayer at the bottom of it to God from your heart.[/align]
