How To Get To Heaven When You Die

[xfrodobagginsx]

A PRAYER OF SALVATION: If you have any doubts about whether or not you are going to heaven, YOU COULD HUMBLY PRAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO GOD FROM YOUR HEART IN FAITH:

"Dear Lord Jesus I know that I am a sinner and need you to save me. I believe that You are the Lord and believe in my heart that You died on the Cross and Rose from the dead, shedding your blood as the Sacrifice for my sins. I turn to You as the only way of Salvation, I submit my life to you, I submit my will to yours, I place my Faith and Trust in You alone as Lord of my life, Please save me and I thank You for it, in Jesus holy name, Amen."

If you have truly placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord, submitting your life to Him, you can know that you are a child of God and on your way to heaven. Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing Church and follow in baptism.

Walks You Through The Bible In 25 Minute Lessons

Through the Bible with Les Feldick

There are better resources out there.

Les' view of Sovereignty vs. Free Will is confused to say the least:

He maintains a "beautiful balance" between God's sovereign orchestration and human choice, asserting that God "orchestrates every detail of our lives" while still providing free will.​

​

It's just double-talk without meaning.

[Ps82]

A well-known Mid-Acts Dispensationalist who taught that believers may experience marital relationships in heaven is J. C. O'Hair.
J. C. O'Hair’s view
O'Hair, one of the early leaders of Mid-Acts dispensationalism, suggested that the statement of Jesus in Gospel of Matthew 22:30 (“they neither marry nor are given in marriage”) applies specifically to Israel and the resurrection related to the kingdom program, not necessarily to the Body of Christ.
Because Mid-Acts theology distinguishes between Israel’s program and the Church (Body of Christ) revealed through Paul the Apostle, O'Hair argued that some statements made during Jesus’ earthly ministry may not directly define the destiny of the Church.
From that reasoning, he allowed the possibility that relationships like marriage could exist for members of the Body of Christ in heavenly places.
Important note
Even within Mid-Acts circles (teachers influenced by Cornelius R. Stam or Charles F. Baker), this idea is not widely taught. Most Mid-Acts teachers simply say Scripture does not clearly reveal whether marriage exists in heaven for the Body of Christ.

Because I believe scripture reveals certain behaviors enacted during God's plan for the kingdom, I disagree with the experts mentioned above. What I see happening through out scripture is this.
God created male and female and told them to multiply and reproduce. An edict which would occur over time. Then God did something which may seem strange to most people. He sentenced humanity to death by curing the ground from which their bodies were formed. This death would also occur over time ... thus through his mercy, allowing humanity to continue to reproduce and multiply children unto his kingdom. IOW, God could have just ended Adam and woman's life in the Garden and started over with a new purpose of having them reproduce and multiply in some other realm than Earth. I'm just saying he did not do that and asking why not? Was that just not his plan in the first place... if so why not? Hmmm ... that can get interesting but off topic.
Next thing is this: When the 'end times' arrive God does an interesting thing: He doesn't destroy all humanity but rather our merciful Lord rules upon an earthly throne for a thousand years ... and during that time humanity continues to reproduce and multiply. Why the extra time? Might it be that it is because once all is done and mankind and Satan have attempted their final rebellion and our Lord's kingdom is accomplished that there will be no more reproducing and multiplying? The curse of death is removed. Perhaps the propensity to (perhaps all) sin is removed. His kingdom of saints will be complete. Now I love the institution of marriage, children and grandchildren and find it sad that we may no longer experience this, but so far God's actions have me thinking it is over after our Lord waits 1,000 more years for reproduction and then comes the Lake of Fire incident.

This is interesting so here is my close look at Matthew 22.
Verses 23-29. First the Sadducees, who didn't even believe in the resurrection are asking a question about resurrection. When it was mentioned 'they (the seven) all had her," they were talking about sexual and the rules set for practicing it.
Jesus, being God in flesh, knew this their thoughts and discerned it was a trick question. They only ask about marriage and sex rules to expose that his teaching about such a resurrection was false because it did not fit their earthly laws. Jesus knowing this addresses a couple of questions. topics.
Their example was similar to the problem Judah had with his sons and daughter-in-law, but God led Tamar (sp?) to trick Judah and God gave her a son who became part of the lineage of the Christ. This reminded the Sadducees of God's power power and Tamar was not the only woman to whom God gave a child ... example Sarah. IOW Jesus was telling these non-believers that God is in control of matters of giving life or not though his power. Sort of a major point.
Next he specifically addressed the resurrection into the kingdom. Verse 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. That seems pretty straight forward to me.
Then verses 31-32 does explain how our Lord is not the God of the dead. Now, I'm always asking questions. What was meant by not being the God of the dead? Who are the dead in this instance? Physical mortals or lost souls? Remember when the Lord said, Let the dead bury their dead. That meant the lost souls bury their beloved lost soul. I think Jesus was making this point. He is the God only of those saintly souls who have been called and saved by the mercy of our judge and risen Lord. IOW, there will be a resurrection and people will be part of the kingdom but
verse 30, to me, makes it clear there will be no marriage and birthing in his kingdom. The number will be set must like it is for the angels.
Remember the angels were actually countable and it was determined that exactly 1/3 rebelled with Satan.
