I can't believe what I'm hearing. Being rich or poor has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not one is written in the Book of Life.
No man gets into heaven without the blood of Jesus. That alone is the deciding factor: have your sins been washed clean in the blood of Jesus, or not? Has the blood of Jesus set you free from the lust of the flesh, or not? Has the blood of Jesus made you fit for heaven, or not?
There are some poor folk who live down the street, who squander everything they have on drugs; are they fit for heaven simply because they are poor? On the same block there lives a rich couple who live holy lives and give generously of their time and wealth to the cause of God's kingdom; are they doomed simply because they're educated, work at a university, and handle their money wisely?
Give me a break.
