Re: Criteria To Make Heaven? by Nobody: 10:22am On Aug 13, 2017 |
take your Bible and read see for yourself.......... 1)holiness. 2) righteousness of God which will be obvious in the fruits you produce 3) total obedience to the will of God that's all..... they can all still be plainly summarized as HOLINESS |

if you ever read your holy fukcing book, then you would know that anyone can make heaven so long as they repent and accept "the lord". so, live your life however YOU desire, and on your deathbed, repent and accept "the lord"... et voila! |

Presh555:It has never been easy to be holy, but it is possible even in the world of old and today's... Remember Abraham was in a Q&A with God.and He said if He can find 50 holy pple he would spare the city of Sodom....eventually it was only about 4 pple found in the city(lot and wife and 2daughters), remember Noah, ... Unfortunately for humans God standard hasn't and will not change, so we have no excuse but to be Holy and righteous or no Heaven for anyone that falls short. God bless 1 Like |

Presh555:1.Dont condemn Yahweh's servants even if they're wrong as the accuser of the brethren will accuse you at the gate 2.Give to God and man.To God would be in form of your time, offerings, tithe, soul winning also called evangelism. To man, help the needy, the poor around you especially those that are honest 3.Attend church services and be punctual don't go late no matter what. 4.Study the word of God and meditate on it day and night 5. Stay away from sin and the world system. For example Anything that's is ungodly including watching movies that doesn't glorify Yahweh should not be allowed. Have time for Yahweh as it's important. The road to heaven is narrow as it requires slot of sacrifices to get there |

Re: Criteria To Make Heaven? by Nobody: 1:35am On Aug 20, 2017 |
Summary for context ---- Faith. Hope. Love. Patience. Longsuffering. Gentleness. Meekness. Temperance. Peace. Joy. Also, you forgot the most important one which seem to be a commandment "Be you holy, for I am holy -1Peter1:16" Which is HOLINESS N.B --- that was 10. I'm not precisely referring to the fruit of the Spirit. arantess: |

Presh555:1● You must be born-again and become literally possessed by the first Helper - John 3 vs 1 - 21— in what is the first salvation. 2● You must become set free from slavery to sin through careful continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ - John 8 vs 31 - 44 —faithfulness is the only way to Holiness 3● You must obtain another helper who will then lead you to obtain God's approval of righteousness (you become a friend of Jesus Christ)- John 14 vs 15 - 26 & John 15 vs 1 - 15 4● You must stand faithful until the end— your last breath— to obtain the second salvation — Matthew 24 vs 12 - 13 & Mark 13 vs 13. Remember Lot's wife. She obtained the first salvation but failed to obtain the second and was destroyed as a result. |
Re: Criteria To Make Heaven? by paxonel(m): 3:32am On Mar 07 |
Presh555:the only thing that keeps one holy is his faith in Christ, that is the only criterion to be in heaven. A scripture says without faith it is impossible to please God. So, whether you go to the pulpit to commit shit or not, it doesn't really matter to God. Your body is a better pulpit to God than some constructed pulpit in front of church |
Re: Criteria To Make Heaven? by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:19am On Mar 07 |
Presh555: God never promised anyone heaven the earth is where God prepared for human life {Psalms 115:16} however after Adam and Eve rebelled against God's sovereignty a thought provoking question was raised: Is it right for humans to rule over themselves or must the standard for right and wrong solely depends on God? God allowed humans to try all the system of government they can form to see if any can bring lasting peace and security, till today no human government has done that despite all the Killings here and there so God promised to form a government to be headed by His only begotten Son {Isaiah 9:6-7} this government will have it's government house in Jerusalem {Isaiah 2:3} but the inhabitants of Jerusalem did so much evil against God's messengers sent to help them prepare for this glorious government house {Matthew 23:37-38} that's why they lost the privilege {Matthew 21:43} so when Jesus walked the earth he promised his prospective corulers that though Jerusalem has been condemned {Matthew 24:3-5} but he will go back to his own former abode to prepare a government house where himself and his corulers will stay to do their job! John 14:1-3 That's what most Bible readers misconstrued thinking all good people are going to heaven whereas God never purposed humans to live in heaven only spirit creatures live there and Jesus told those going there that they should forget about gender, marriage or child bearing because all these are things of the earth they have nothing to do with where they're going: HEAVEN! Luke 20:34-36 God bless you and may you have PEACE! |
Re: Criteria To Make Heaven? by Ken4Christ: 6:30am On Mar 07 |
Presh555: 1. You must be born again. In other words, you must accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Salvation is a free gift given to us on the platform of grace - Ephesians 2:8-9. 2. You must identify with a local assembly or church where you will have the opportunity to serve God and contribute to the advancement of the kingdom of God. The scripture says that we should not forsake the assembly of ourselves together - Hebrews 10:25. Those who habitually abstain from church services are committing sin - Hebrews 10:26. And such act of sin will make you a misfit for the kingdom of heaven. 3. You must live a holy life. The that you are born again doesn't mean you will not sin or fall into error. But the difference between one that is genuinely born again and an unbeliever is that he will not sin habitually. And if he sins, his conscience will judge him. As a child of God, provision is made for you to receive forgiveness if you sin. So, he quick to repent if you sin and God will forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness - 1 John 1:9. As for servants of God who are caught in one act of sin or another, it is not a surprise because Jesus already told us that there will be people like that. And he will tell them, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity. 4. You must be a soul winner. This is the reason God saved you. Anyone who is saved and is ashamed of preaching Christ to others will not make heaven - Luke 9:26. 5. Walk in love. Love is the first basic sign of a true Christian conversion. You must walk in love towards all especially the brethren. This is revealed by the way you show kindness, help the poor and forgive one another. Those who refuse to help their brethren in need will not make heaven. The parable of the sheep and goat unveiled this truth. There are many more. But let me stop here for time sake. I have a whole book on this. |
Re: Criteria To Make Heaven? by Kobojunkie: 3:14am On Mar 19 |
∆ take your Bible and read see for yourself..........You have it switched up! Total Obedience to God's Law-- Jesus Christ ---, leads to Holiness. Holiness opens the door to approval from God in the way of Righteous and doing of works of Righteousness all while continuing to walk in absolutely obedience to His Law. |
