Alan,
In answer to your question of wether you will enter the kingdom of heaven or not. I do not know, I don't say this lightly. I am not the author or finisher of your faith. I work out my own salvation with fear and trembling based on the fact that when confronted with my own ways in the light of God's standard I fall short. (And this by the way is the work of the Holy Spirit) Jesus said unless your righteousness exceed that of the scribes and pharisees you shall in no wise enter in. Mine does not, my only hope is that the blood of Jesus cleanses me from all unrighteousness. I fear when I think about Moses telling God to blot out his name from the book of life for the sake of the people which had sinned, God replies (exodus 33:33) Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Also in Revelations 3:5 Jesus says, he that overrcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Alan, I pray in the future that you do not ask this question for argument sake. -Chris |
