Originally posted by divegeester I never think much of your works and your works based salvation. If you truly live your life in the fear that you might make to salvation you really wouldn't behave the way you do. Just an observation.
I think it is you that live in fear. .. the fear that your doctrine is wrong becuase the only teacher of truth in the Bible is Jesus Christ and He did not preach your doctrine. Jesus preached a works based salvation ... so I would be worried if I were you.

What is a Christian Rajk999?
A Christian by the definition of man is one who proclains his faith in Christ.
A Christian by the definition of Jesus and the Aposltes is one who follows Christ commandments.
The one who proclaims faith without doing good works will end up the lake of fire, while those who do good works and follows Christ commandments will get eternal life in the Kingdom of God.
Originally posted by apathist Any prerequisites involved? I'm asking, will the good people go to the preferred afterlife, despite whatever faith belief they were fed?
Brotherly love and charitable works trumps everything [1 Cor 13}
Doing good works - giving of yourself and your time to those in need, is tantamount to giving it to Christ. [Matt 25}, so the atheist who gives, helps, donates, is in fact helping Christ, who said that they will be welcomed into the Kingdom of God.
God hates mouth worship and those who practice it will be destroyed.
