Originally posted by FreakyKBHThat's a total misrepresentation of what I said. Do you think Tibetan monks, Ghandi, and pedophiles are doing the will of God? It's people like you that get people mixed up and confused when you start misintrepreting things and taking them out of context. I hope you read the Bible more carefully than you read posts.
By your reckoning, every Tibetan monk, Ghandi, and quiet-as-a-church-mouse pedophile is bound for heaven.
Originally posted by louisXIVThe key words are "but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven", no? So what is his will and Testament? I will give you a hint, it starts with a "B".😉
Jesus said :
Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
It's easy to say that you're a christian, but that doesn't necessarily make one out of you...
How can one know to be one?
Their was a refinement that is the Christ character, And a final commandment. Love God with all your heart, mind and strength and then love others as you love yourself. Since the only person expereincing you is you, You can only demonstrate that Christ-like character as the person that you are. Most people don't defile the temple (self) or willfully kill it. Here is the key, Love thy self. It may take a man a life time to see there is only one, and seperation is an illusion. Their apparently is only one I AM

Heaven isn't found in this life, because we never escape sin. Like Hell, we only taste. Heaven is a seed within us, which grows as we walk the right path. Only in death is true heaven found.

Statistically no, but one does know what they search for.
One themselves might search for God's will, but others may search for their own self-satisfaction while following their leaders not being Jesus. People are generally selfish, so any systems within a church would likely end up self-seeking as the imaginary powers of democracy begin to rule.
