Preaching the gospel is good to do.but did she ever preach the Gospel?
Are you suggesting salvation by good works? If so, that is false teaching.Following the gospel is what gets you into heaven.
but did she ever preach the Gospel?
Did Mother Teresa ever get saved?
As it is, there are a lot of bad reviews about Mother Teresa on the internet per her quoted sayings and her hypocrisy towards the poor in how she would receive donations to help the poor and the sick, but she lets them suffer because she believed they are blessed that way all the while when she gets sick, she went to the hospital. So she does not really lead a good example as a saint, even though the Lord has made her one if she believed in Him and that God had raised Him from the dead, and not the Church by her works.
If she ever believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God raised Him from the dead, then she is saved.
However, whether she will be raptured when the Bridegroom comes at the pre great trib rapture event, His words pretty much says she will not be.
First of all, the persons she was helping were dying.If she ever believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God raised Him from the dead, then she is saved.
However, whether she will be raptured when the Bridegroom comes at the pre great trib rapture event, His words pretty much says she will not be.
Unless there was repentance at death's door from laboring in unbelief, she will be left behind to be received later on as a vessel unto dishonor in His House.

And how do YOU know she labored in unbelief??If she ever believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God raised Him from the dead, then she is saved.

I assume you knew her personally?
Why is it false teaching?Are you suggesting salvation by good works? If so, that is false teaching.
EPHESIANS 2
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Where in His word?
First of all, the persons she was helping were dying.
They were abandoned persons living on the streets of Calcutta. A VERY POOR city.
She did what she could. Hospitals would not take them in ... that's the whole reason she helped them when no one else would.
Read some books about her instead of reading about her on the internet.
She did more than we'll ever do ...
And how do YOU know she labored in unbelief??
So, it would have been better to just leave the sick on the street?It is easier to praise people in general when people do not really know what she did exactly. I understand the caution in taking anything on the internet, but if they give a reliable source....regardless of the site....
Indian author and physician Aroup Chatterjee, who briefly worked in one of Mother Teresa's homes, later investigated the financial and other practices of Teresa's order. In 1994, two British journalists, Christopher Hitchens and Tariq Ali, produced a critical British Channel 4 documentary, Hell's Angel, based on Chatterjee's work. The next year, Hitchens published The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice, a book that repeated many of the accusations in the documentary. Chatterjee published The Final Verdict in 2003, a less polemic work than those of Hitchens and Ali, but equally critical of Teresa's operations.[1] Chatterjee and Hitchens were called by the Vatican to present evidence against Teresa during her canonisation process.[2] In 2016, American sociologist, activist, and president of the Catholic League Bill Donohue wrote a book-length response to criticism of Mother Teresa.[3]
And then another report...
In 1991, Robin Fox, editor of the British medical journal The Lancet visited the Home for Dying Destitutes in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and described the medical care the patients received as "haphazard".[4] He observed that sisters and volunteers, some of whom had no medical knowledge, had to make decisions about patient care, because of the lack of doctors in the hospice. Fox specifically held Teresa responsible for conditions in this home, and observed that her order did not distinguish between curable and incurable patients, so that people who could otherwise survive would be at risk of dying from infections and lack of treatment.
Fox conceded that the regimen he observed included cleanliness, the tending of wounds and sores, and kindness, but he noted that the sisters' approach to managing pain was "disturbingly lacking". The formulary at the facility Fox visited lacked strong analgesics which he felt clearly separated Mother Teresa's approach from the hospice movement. Fox also wrote that needles were rinsed with warm water, which left them inadequately sterilised, and the facility did not isolate patients with tuberculosis. There have been a series of other reports documenting inattention to medical care in the order's facilities. Similar points of view have also been expressed by some former volunteers who worked for Teresa's order. Mother Teresa herself referred to the facilities as "Houses of the Dying".[5]
In 2013, in a comprehensive review[6] covering 96% of the literature on Mother Teresa, a group of Université de Montréal academics reinforced the foregoing criticism, detailing, among other issues, the missionary's practice of "caring for the sick by glorifying their suffering instead of relieving it, … her questionable political contacts, her suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received, and her overly dogmatic views regarding, in particular, abortion, contraception, and divorce". Questioning the Vatican's motivations for ignoring the mass of criticism, the study concluded that Mother Teresa's "hallowed image—which does not stand up to analysis of the facts—was constructed, and that her beatification was orchestrated by an effective media relations campaign" engineered by the Catholic convert and anti-abortion BBC journalist Malcolm Muggeridge.[7]
Feel free to investigate.
I am sure Jesus knows.
Is she in Heaven? If she believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God had raised her from the dead; yes... but in unrepentant iniquity, and I cannot say she has not repented on her death bed, God only knows, but if unrepentant, then she will not be received as a vessel unto honor in His House at the pre great trib rapture but as a vessel unto dishonor in being left behind as in not resurrected to meet Him in the air in that glorified vessel unto honor state.
How do you get this out of Hebrews 4:1-11?If the Catholic believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God raised Him from the dead, in according to His word, they are saved, EVEN THOUGH they do not believe they are saved yet by believing so. This is the warning Paul gave in Hebrews 4:1-11 about laboring in unbelief in coming short of that rest in Jesus Christ.
God does not abide in former believers. Does the Holy Spirit abide in a person living a life of sin? No.Also, if one is turned away from believing in Him altogether, they are not going to hell either because He is faithful as He still abides in former believers.
Vessels of honor and dishonor is referring the the Jewish nation and to Gentiles.Unless they repent, they run the risk of being cursed or damned as vessels unto dishonor in His House as in left behind at the pre great trib rapture. This is where the vessels unto dishonour comes from that are still in His House; as in not heeding the call to depart from iniquity; 2 Timothy 2:18-21
Agreed.It is unfortunate that believers are more loyal to their church and its teachings and its place in history rather than to Jesus Christ our Lord & Saviour. We are called to be witnesses of Him as led by the Spirit in us to do, in seeking the glory of the Son, and by Him, the glory of God the Father. We are not called to bear witness of our church in seeking the glory of the church as if the Good News is about the Church rather than Jesus Christ.
You want that she repented of her works in Catholicism?As it is, I can hope that she repented of her works in catholicism on her deathbed, but not knowing this , if she remained in laboring in unbelief in the works of catholicism, then she was laboring in unbelief.
It's on the internet, so, it must be true. lolAnd you trust CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS?????

Do you not understand that those dying and very sick people had no other recourse? Could we dislike a person because they helped people? Or because they perhaps didn't do everything as perfectly as YOU would have?
I don't need to investigate. I've read books about her...one which she wrote herself; it was like a biography but done in letters written by her to different persons in her life. "Come Be My Light".
If you want to find out what her life was like and what she did everyday, read this book and stop listening to CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS for goodness sake!
This is how God works. He works through people.
How do you get this out of Hebrews 4:1-11?
The promising of RESTING IN GOD, encourages us to do His will.
God promised the Israelites rest, but they were disqualified because they did not OBEY.
If we believe, we will find rest in Him....to believe means to obey. The Israelites never got to the promised land because they did not heed God's word.
God is still promising the rest today. But the rest will not be until we're with Him.
So we're to keep obeying God and not lose our faith due to disobedience.
God does not abide in former believers.
Does the Holy Spirit abide in a person living a life of sin? No.
John 15:6 Jesus said:
6“If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
Luke 7:46, 49 Jesus said:
46“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?47“Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: 48he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49“But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
Vessels of honor and dishonor is referring the the Jewish nation and to Gentiles.
