I am a strong believer in the higher power. He, and only He is the way to get into Heaven. I am the first to come from a Nazarene Church .

It does not matter what religion you are, there is not point in putting others down. The single and onlyway to get into heaven is to have an incredible and intimate relationship with the Lord. This means praying to Him, reading His word, and often times, fellowship. A Baptist is the same as a Catholic is the same as a Methodist.

Some may or may not believe that you need to go to church to get into heaven. I do not believe you do, based on what I have said previously. Meeting with a body of believers that you are close with is exteremly helpful (thus a church).

Love the Lord and spread His word. Don't be affraid to stand up for what you believe in, and be open to others.



bayou_buckslayer, Thank-you very much for starting this thread. I used to come here alot, and now not so much, but it is really great to see your commitment!
I'm from the nazarene church too! Born and raised. I go to mount vernon nazarene university now as well! I believe that God loves us all and wants the best for us. But it is our choice to follow him. And if we don't then yes, I believe hell is the punishment for that. But it is our choice. God does not choose for us, we choose. Christ died for our sins, and we just have to accept his invitation of forgiveness and then try to live for him. We will mess up, but his grace covers all. and as long as we are honestly trying and honestly repentant than we are doing the right thing.

Awesome, what a small world. I had slight consideration in going to college at Mt. Vernon. I was offered a small baseball scholarship, due to some friends that knew the coach. I also was more interested in Olivet Nazarene, which is closer to home. I ended up going to a different college. Good to see you around here!
Small world indeed! I also was interested in Olivet, went there to visit too. But Chose MVNU because it was closer to home!
