Christians are under the forgiveness. Atheists are not. For sure, the atheists better take it literal and do it.
That depends on how you interpret the bible...
The church I went to believed... once saved, always saved... in that case, since I was "saved" at the ripe age of 4 years old... I'm still going to heaven
MUAHAHAHAHA!!! See ya in Heaven BADecker!!!
Once saved, always saved, is not Biblical.
Wrong, as always

Quote from: John 10:28-30
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one.
An intelligent person would quit questioning the things I say... before the 30th time I backed up my statement with a biblical quote...
More snitch stuff, right Moloch? Nobody can snatch someone out of the Father's hand. But you jumped out.
Feel free to snitch the snatch, just don't snatch the snitch
why would I want to deny you your extra Heavenly reward for saving them, the reward the Father will give you
Ooh, nobody said anything about presents...
Could you elaborate on these gifts that Father gives me?
Saint Paul tells us that we don't even know what we will be like in Heaven. And how could we? The New Heavens and the New Earth will have new physics in it, even if it has some of the old. But Job says that we will have eyes, or apparatus like eyes, when he says that he will see his Redeemer in the resurrection.
First Corinthians 3:14 says:
Quote
If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward.
The only things that will survive from this universe are the souls of people who are saved. Since God went to all the trouble he has gone to, to make and save souls, he certainly will reward those who help Him in His work of salvation.
