can anyone be saved to the kingdom of heaven?

[MatthewG]

It’s obvious you Gotta be drawn to God to want to know him and be more about him into and dwell in knowing whom God sent that’s just a very good bonus for a person to seek after and be rewarded spiritually by God in faith. And Faith only comes by hearing of the word.

 

[Patrick1966]

Yes, it’s also written that Jesus said, if you believe in me, you shall not die, but everyone of them died.

Jesus was referring to spiritual life and death. Believers go to be with God in Heaven, everyone else is DEAD in the ground and misses out on Heaven.

 

[MatthewG]

“How then shall they call upon [him] in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching? and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, ‘How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!’ But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, ‘Lord, who did give credence to our report?’ so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭YLT98‬‬

Amen. We must share God's words with all of our Earthly brothers and sisters.

Can they? Even homosexual?

The verses I quoted were Jesus' words! Can we believe them? If the conditions are met, will not the blessings be given? Am I anyone's judge to say, yea or nay, with regard to the final reward or punishment of anyone? God has not at this point given me that job for all of mankind.

 

[amadeus]

Some people say no you got to meet their certain criteria that is on their perspective and understanding in order to be saved.

Well might some people be in error? Might you or I also be in error in our thinking. Going to the lowest room daily, for me, then is the answer.

 

[amadeus]

Not everyone is a child of God. Now everyone is a creation of God no doubt. And they’ve had their sins paid for by the Lord Jesus Christ but not everyone is a Child of God because not everyone has faith.

I can see this when Paul writes the second letter to the Thessalonians.

2 Thessalonians 3 1
And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command.

Romans 8:15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

Heb 12:7	If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Heb 12:8	But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Is there a difference between being dead to men and being dead to God?

Anyone else like to add?

Thank you.
