The young man had great wealth, which Jesus said makes it hard for someone to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus instructed the man to sell all his possessions, give the proceeds to the poor, and follow him, but the man was unable to do so because he loved his wealth.
It is not the church you belong to that determines if you go to heaven or not. What determines if you go to heaven is that you believe what God has said about His Son Jesus Christ and have accepted Jesus as your personal Savior. The best place to find what God has said about His Son, Jesus is in the four Gospels in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. In short, Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary for your sin, He was buried and was resurrected the third day. All who believe in Him will be saved. Not just a head belief, but a heart belief.
Yes, all true saints who believe in Jesus Christ.
Anyone can go to Heaven, all they have to do is receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
flesh and blood cannot enter heaven, Jesus said so...but flesh and bone can enter. blood is the only thing thats forbidden throughout the bible. jesus had lost all his blood on the cross and was resurrected with no blood in his body. his disciples touched him, felt him and even saw his scars so he definately was not a spirit or in spirit form. the very condition that Adam and Eve were before they sinned, they were flesh and bones. there is certainly no way Elijah went to heaven in flesh and blood, remember there are three heavens mentioned in the bible...so elijah might have assended to heaven but not the third heaven where God is. Jesus also said that no man had ascended to heaven, he knew because he came from heaven...the third heaven Where God is
No, all you have to do to go to Heaven is receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. T
In the bible, all people had original sin because Eve ate an apple from the forbidden tree. The whole point of Jesus dieing on the cross was so we could all be free from that sin. Before he died and everyone had that sin forgiven, no one could go to heaven because the still had original sin.
Jesus is the son of God and one with the father in Heaven, so he can do all things like his Father.
Jesus, who is also called Christ, is a king and ruler of the kingdom of heaven. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. Therefore He rules over His followers (citizens) in both earth and heaven, those you refer to as "living" and "dead" Jesus is awsome :]]
It is a fundamental principle that all law comes from and applies only to the jurisdiction in which it is enacted and Scripture says that Jesus often spoke about the Kingdom of Heaven and just before He was crucified He claimed to be a King when Pilate asked Him "'are you the King of the Jews? … Jesus ed, 'my kingdom is not of this world; …. Pilate said to him, 'So you are a king?' Jesus ed, 'You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice.' (John Ch 18)Therefore the Law of God must come from and relate only to the Kingdom of Heaven where Jesus Christ is King? and indeed following on from this Jesus said "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me"
As no one but Jesus has ascended into heaven, the answer is no. Obviously, the spiritual world can look around and see all.
Not according to Jesus Himself:Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.John 3:36 - He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.John 8:24 - Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."[Quotes from NKJV]Answer: All people do not go to heaven whether you believe in Jesus or not. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says "Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going."
