Re: Belief in God without Religion? - July 10th 2009, 07:42 PM

No, a woman or man who lives their life serving others will not go to Heaven.

Ephesians 2:8-9
For by Grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.



Titus 3:5
He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,


Key Points:
1. You are saved by Grace (free gift for man, an unmeritted reward... Jesus)
2. Through our Faith in HIM to save us, which doesn't come from us but from God
3. NOT of works or deeds of righteousness, but by His mercy
5. The washing of regeneration and renewing of Holy Spirit is when we have Faith and turn to God he washes our Spirit clean, with the Holy Spirit (a spiritual baptism)


2 Peter 1:20-21, Peter reminds the reader to “know this first of all, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, … but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”

It say's in this verse even that you quoted, it is written by men by the Holy Spirit (people who were saved), SPOKE FROM GOD thus being God's word.

James 4:17
Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
