[b]HOW TO MAKE IT TO HEAVEN
----------------------------------

Born Again

Jesus said in John 3:3-6 unless a man
is born again he cannot see or enter
the kingdom of God. A man is
spiritually dead because of sin (Gen.
2:17, 3:1-24; Rom. 6:23). He is
separated from God thus being
spiritually dead. That is why before we
are born again we cannot understand
the Bible, because it is spiritually
discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14; John
6:63, John 16:13).

Our spirit is dead because of sin and
we are unable to enter into God's
presence, have fellowship with Him or
understand His Word. There is nothing
that we can do on our own to erase
those sins. Only the Blood of Jesus
can remove sin from our lives and
cause us to stand Holy and pure
before God (Hebrews 9:12-15;
10:1-22; Isaiah 1:18-20).

The Bible says that the way to be
Saved or Born Again is to repent of
your sin (in other words turn away
from evil) recognizing that you are a
sinner, asking God to forgive you, and
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and
Savior (Acts 2:38-39; John 3:16-18).
We are to believe in His sacrifice for
us, in which He gave His life at Calvary
to redeem us from spiritual death,
sickness and poverty (1 John 3:16;
Gal. 3:13014; I Peter 2:24; Isaiah
53:4-5; 2 Corinthians 8:9).

Romans 10:9-13 says if you confess
with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shall believe in your heart that God
raised Him from the dead, you shall be
saved. For with the heart man believes
unto righteousness, (right standing
with God) and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. For
whosoever (that's you) shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved.
If you will ask the Lord Jesus into
your heart right now wherever you are,
you will be saved. Just say to Him,
Dear God, I come to you in the name
of Jesus. I repent of my sin and ask
Jesus to become the Lord of my life. I
now accept Him as Lord and Savior. In
Jesus' name, Amen.
If you prayed that prayer from your
heart you are a new creation in Christ
(2 Corinthians 5:17-21; John 6:37). Old
things are passed away and everything
has become new. If you did not make
that commitment, do yourself a favor
and look up the scriptures asking God
to help you to see the truth in them. If
you ask Him, you will be able to see
the truth (John 14:6).
Will you accept Jesus Christ as your
Lord and Savior today?
Please contact us to let us know if
after reading this web page, you have
decided to trust Jesus Christ as your
Savior. If you would like more

***Prior the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ, ALL the dead, both righteous and sinners went 'down'!
There spirits were held captive in the lower parts of the earth. The sinners went to hell while the righteous were located above them in Abraham's bosom. Separating them was a mighty Gulf such that ppl from hell COULD NOT cross over to Abrahams bosom, and vice versa.
Luke 16 v 19-31

***No, none of them was born again at death!

God work with each generation according to his promise. It has pleased God that in Him(Jesus) should all fulness dwell, and that he should be the captain of the begotten sons and daughters Hebrews 2:10. Jesus is the fulfilment of the prophecy which says that, " In him shall the Gentiles(non-Israelites) trust, Isaiah 11:1-5,10". God Has made him the captain of our salvation, to lead the sons of men to Him(God), Jesus has pass from death unto life everlasting, that he did to collect the key of life and death - Revelation 1:18. Jesus taste death for every man to come through Him and access the Father - Hebrews 2:9.

And concerning the question you asked that "those men was not born again yet they saw the kingdom of God", those men had the fear of God, that was the only thing that could take someone to heaven then, "The fear of God", the reason they made it was because of the devoted and consecrated life they lived to God despite the backsliding of the other multitude. So it pleased God to allow them enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Psalm 24:1-5; 15:1-5, this is the reason they entered and God still expect this from all, as it is the only certificate or passport to enter God's Kingdom.

Of a truth, NO ONE can see (talk less of entering) the kingdom of God except they are born again. Jn 3 v 3.
Before the death & resurrection of JC, NONE of d old testament Prophets saw/entered d kingdom of God. Once they died, they went straight down to Abrahams Bosom which was also beneath the earth but separated from hell by a large, uncrossable gulf.
They were there patiently waiting for the coming of Christ-The Messiah Lk 7 v 19-20.
They received salvation (during d 3 days) when Jesus Christ was crucified, died, descended, preached to them and ascended taking them on high with him. Matthew 27:50-53.
That was when they had d opportunity to SEE and ENTER the Kingdom of God!

So, Moses, Daniel etc made heaven WITH Jesus Christ!

All in all, Jesus Christ died for EVERYBODY'S sin(s) - mine, urs, David's, Noah's, the 'white', the 'black' etc. Just accept Him as ur Lord and Saviour! Except being born again, It's a classic 'One Chance to hell' scenario!

See delusion .

dont play Ludo game here , ur bible said Abraham BOssom , nw what is a bossom ? Literally "A persons chest position"

E.g john 13:23 - an apostle rest on the BossoM of Jesus . Not some crazy place beneath the soil but His chest position . Thats the meaning of bossom. Simple english

The bossom of the man , Abraham refers to the chestlike position of the man called Abraham .

Since this has been clarified , tell me - how can Abel die and go to the bossom of a man called Abraham who is not yet born ? ? ?

Good!
Unfortunately, u've given ONLY ONE DEFINITION of bosom, there are FOUR!

bos·om (bo͝oz′əm, bo͞o′zəm)
n.
1.
a. The chest of a human: He held the
sleepy child to his bosom.
b. A woman's breast or breasts.
2. The part of a garment covering the
chest or breasts.
3. The security and closeness likened
to being held in a warm familial
embrace: We welcomed the stranger
into the bosom of our family.

4. The chest considered as the source
of emotion.
adj.
Beloved; intimate: a bosom friend.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bosom
The word "bosom" as used in Luke 16:19-31 is used in the context of the (bolded) 3rd definition above.
"Abraham's Bosom" in this context is a translation d Greek word "kolpos which conveys: "Abrahams side", "Abraham's arms", "next to Abraham", "Abraham's vicinity, "with Abraham".

NOW, it's Settled!

You mean they make heaven without Jesus dying for their sins ? Have you forgotten that you guys said all have inherit sin and only the death of Jesus can cleanse it ?

You mean they were saved before Jesus died for them ? So Jesus death is useless since fear of God is only what is needed ?

In the physical, John was at least 6 months older than Jesus Christ - Lk 1v41; but both parties agreed that the latter was in existence before the former spiritually ie in d spiritual realm - John 1v15, John 8v58.

Truthfully, there's no Biblical record pinpointing that. So, I can't say a "yes/no"!
Conversely, if u had asked me, "is it possible for Abraham to preexist Abel?"
I'll say yes, it's possible!
How and why? There indeed is a precedence - d Jesus~John/Abraham scenario (Jn 1v 15, Jn 8v 56-58).
