There is only one way into Heaven. That is a personal relationship with Jesus. Just believeing in Jesus is not enough. We all believe in lots of things. You have to believe and ACCEPT Jesus as your Lord and Savior. When a person truly believes in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and asks Jesus into their heart, they are going to Heaven. It is not necessary to say the sinner's prayer. One simply needs to ask forgiveness for their sins, repent, and let Jesus do the rest. God already knows the intentions of the heart before we ask. Whosoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. People have many wrong ideas about what makes them a Christian. Most sre wrong. The Bible tells us that there is a way that seems right to man, but the end result is death. That is spiritual death, eternal seperation from God, in hell. Unfortunately, most people will follow the wrong path.

Thank you red river, I agree with you 100%, there are so many people that think there good works will get them to heaven. A lot of people claim there is other ways to heaven, but that just isn't right, that is the reason I posted this blog, to see who out there thinks they are going to heaven because they are supposedly "GOOD" people, and because of that, they will end up in heaven.

Paul sure has a lot to say about this in his epistle to the Galatians. To be saved is grace plus nothing. There is this thing called the man-in-the-street religion. You can wlak up to someone in the street and ask, Dop you have a relationship with Jesus? They may say "well, I am a good person, I do good things. Being good or doing good doesn't get it done. If I read Isaiah 64:6 right, all the good things we could do might as well not be good if done apart from Christ. Jesus even said "Not everyone who says 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom".

I am heaven bound. See, I already possess eternal life. All my righteousness is as filthy rags.

However, by placing my trust in Christ for the remission of my sins, I ahave been imputed with His righteousness.

Therefore, when the Father looks at me, He sees the righteousness of His Son, not my sin.

Indeed, I am saved by grace alone, not anything I have done or could ever do.

Even alters can go to hell.

ZZ is a member of First Baptist Dallas. Did you know that?

Zig is a member of Prestonwood. Has been for years. He has some health issues, and no longer teaches. But he is still the greatest ! One of the nicest men on the face of the earth.

Doh! He may be now but years ago I remember he was at FBC Dallas before there was a Prestonwood.

I go to Bent Tree right down the street.

I have a friend in Stinnette who belongs to a Baptist church up in that area. Solid guy.

I love the preaching at Pwood but the welcoming and fellowship is this. That's the only reason I left for Bent Tree.

Now BT is starting to grow big time and I am concerned with the gazillion people who don't know one another there as well.

It may be close to time to move on and find a personable gathering.

Both churches are sound doctrinally so you sure can't go wrong there!

Scotty - I agree with you on the fellowship bit. I have been looking for a bible fellowship class for 3 years. *sigh* great thing to remind me about on Saturday night!

RedRiver - I grew up at FBC Carrollton - they lost a lot of members that I know when Dr. Allen retired and they made Brent the pastor - he's young and impetuous. I'm actually tempted to go there in the morning - see if they got the kinks straightened out.
