Requirements for Heaven?

[fastct9a]

How many people that claim they are christian really are? Very few. Reason being is to be a christian means to be christ like not in the since that your perfect in everything you do but you do your best to live your life according to his word.

ILL comment on the requirments on Heaven.

3 eay steps

1. Repent- asking Jesus to forgive you of your sins(meaning not going back to what you use to do)
2. Be Baptized. ( big discusion in itself between different religions but there is only one way to be baptized and thats in the NAME OF JESUS not the father, son, holy ghost.
3. Rieceve the Gift of the Holy Ghost. the evidence of speaking in other tongues( speaking a language that is never taught to you or self taught. its when you spirit talks to Jesus.

You can read it in the bible it gives it just like i said in ACT 2:38

In the Bible it says no man can enter heaven if he not born of the Water( being baptized in Jesus name) and of the Spirit(reiceving the Holy Ghost).

So thats the requirments to get to Heaven. Its not my own rendering its all in the Bible for you to read no matter what religion you are its written in the Bible.

You must be pentecostal...

You only need to accept Jesus. Don't listen to this guy. Baptism is not a requirement, but something that should be considered for a few reasons. We're following in the footsteps of Jesus. It's symbolic of our death to the world and new life in Christ. When you truely accept Christ you receive the Holy Spirit. This is why there's a change in that person's life...not because of their own will to change who they are, but by the work of the Holy Spirit within someone.

Luke 23:41-43
"We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.'

What does this say? The criminal acknowledged Christ's position as an innocent man being martyred. He was not baptised nor "received the holy spirit". Jesus said that he would send someone after his death (i.e. the holy spirit). Jesus had not died yet...

As for your verse:

Acts 2:38
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Peter did not say that the way to get to heaven was to do so. He is saying to do so to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Again, it is NOT mandatory, but one who truely accepts Christ desires to do as he did.

Romans 10:13 "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved!"

Romans 10:9,10 "...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation."

I suggest you find the truth on your own studying of the bible rather than spitting out what's taught to you by your preacher.

Is Being Pentecostal Wrong? Im not coming on here to stick my nose in the air and say Pentecostals are the only ones going to Heaven. Not every pentecostal is going to Heaven either. And actually Im Apostolic. I do my own studying and I dont take just what just my preacher says.

Well at least you see why being Baptized is important. You say it not a requirement but then you say it should be considered.

The reason the man that died on the cross went to paradise is because he died before the Holy Ghost was part of getting into Heaven. The Holy Ghost Is what Jesus sent us so that he would be living in each of us. Its something we recieve not something everyone has. I talk from a personal experience not just from someone taught.

You must have some Pentecostal background or something? I might be wrong

This deff not soemthing for me to get on her to say Im better than you, just shareing what the Bible says and my Belief.
