Hi Max,
Yes, Max, even you and Puppy can be saved, regardless of what you are today, if, before that last breath -- you do sincerely repent and believe. That is how big and loving is my God.
quote:
Of course, the BIG danger of waiting until on your deathbed is that one never knows, even on your deathbed -- when that last breath will occur. And, if you are one breath late -- it is too late.
quote:
Yes, that one breath will make the difference between spending eternity in the presence of God -- or spending eternity in the horrible presence of Satan and all the lost in hell.
quote:
Of course, it is YOUR CHOICE and no one can make it for you. And, no choice IS a choice; but, the wrong one.

No, there are a lot of fakers that wear Christian costumes and do those things too.
the word should have been REPENTANCE.

Jen, they are not talking about people who are already Christian. They are talking about folks who don't believe now, but might change their minds when death is near.

"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." As far as I know, until physical death, you have that option.
My father accepted Christ as Savior and Lord on his deathbed. He was more alive as he was dying than he ever was throughout his life. I've always wondered if he was kicking himself at that point, realizing what he could have had all along.
True, how would he know they were sincere.quote:Originally posted by Not Shallow Not Slim:

I know, we can all rape pillage and plunder all our lives and enjoy all satan has to offer then just before we die, we can confess Jesus is our Savior and go to heaven!So why waste all our earth life following Christian rules? No need, cause Christians teach we can make up for it all on our death bed!
You gotta love these Christian teachings
You can pick and choose whatever ones you like and follow them and get to heaven
It's kinda like semi organized anarchy!

Doing those things doesn't guarantee anyone a place in heaven. If it did, satan would be going to heaven
he confessed that Jesus was the son of God. Those that think all they have to do is accept Jesus as their Savior and they will make it to heaven, truly don't understand the whole heaven and hell thing
The bible is so confusing on these issues that several so called Christian sects argue and fight eachother about it
Now thats Christ like.

technically, i suppose this is true, according to the rules of christianity. however, i'd like to point out that one doesn't acctually (sic) know the time of our deaths, so that it would be a huge gamble to go all gonzo, and then hope to have tiem (sic) to repent before you cashed out.

Did they not have other spouses?quote:Originally posted by O No!:
The worst part of waiting until the last minute is that you deny yourself the joy of knowing Him sooner.
I know an older couple who just got married. They are very happy together, but the wife confessed to me one day that she is sad that they had to spend MOST of their lives not even knowing each other existed. They both regret that they didn't get to spend a lifetime together, but only these last few years of their lives.
It's the same way with Jesus. I am SO glad that I have been able to spend most of my life with the joy of knowing He is my best friend.
OK, that makes sense.quote:Originally posted by O No!:
