I am just warning. My Father had his faults( we all do) He grew up going to a Methodist Church. Then some one told him about the gospel and he studied the Bible and agreed. I asked him once; you spent 17 years going to a Methodist Church( This was before he got old and senile) what did they say about salvation? He gave me blank stare trying to remember but they taught nothing and Gospel was nowhere to be found.
All of my grandparents lived to a ripe old age and they all attended church for over 200 years combined.
I believe ( know) that on That Great and Terrible Day of Judgement. One set will be going to Hell and the other who were real Christians will face a different judgement because they had accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savoir and repented of their sins.
They also knew of why Jesus had to die and put their faith in him. And I know what some may be thinking. Yes of course Christians sin. It is not possible to not sin. God wants perfection. That is why ALMIGHTY GOD sent his only begotten son to die on the cross. Jesus was fully God and fully man . When the Holy Spirit changed Jesus and made Mary pregnant without sex. Jesus had every function of a man but was still God. Basically God incarnate. But without his glory on display. Jesus led a sinless life as example but more importantly to be a flawless perfect sacrifice. Obedient to his father, he agreed of his own free will and He decided that he would die and for a couple of hours while Jesus was on the cross, God the Father; let all of his wrath out on Jesus Christ( as payment for all who would believe) He was a sacrifice and died for the sins of all who would repent believeand have contious faith.. A free gift for those who would truley repent of their sins; and would believe That Jesus was The Only Son of God and that he died on the Cross and 3 days later he rose from the Dead. Died and paid for the sins of all who believe. Those who would put their faith in him and pray and ask him to be their savior and trueley repent of their sin. We ask for forgiveness for our transgressions.
I have no idea what the My methodist Grand parents believed. Probably what is warned against so many times. That being a good person will get you into Heaven, nope.
Good deeds will not get you into heaven and all who were born will be judged if they have reached the age of accountability and have enough brain capacity to understand.
Understanding that all have sinned and if they reach the age of accountability and have the capacity to understand.
That they are going to Hell.
Repentance of your sins( truley repenting) believing in Jesus Christ that he died on the cross and is the only son of God and the only way to Heaven and to escape an eternity in Hell.
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
It then comes down to continued faith.
However God expects Christian's to grow spiritually, learn, obey, spread the gospel. He wants us not to be like the world. Set apart but still in it. Reading and understanding, fellowship with other Christians ( going to church regularly) To not be like the world.
Yes their are things I need to work on, but I am very different than people would expect in real life. Kind, quiet but not shy, warm, patient, nice and friendly but reserved. Humble usually.
People who know me would have nothing bad to say about me. Except a certain female judge in a civil matter and few others who knew me when I was a drunk. A couple of ridiculously horrible cops. The type who give other cops a bad name. One who lied on a document and I outsmarted when I was over 4 1/2 times the legal limit. The type who has to be aggressive, the type who is a disgrace to his uniform. Which they should not be wearing. His stupidity is comical. But other than that. I am not want you would think. I am another person somewhat when in hostile territory ( online)

I don't know what translation you are reading, but I pray you get a good study Bible. How about The One John MacArthur put out or even tried the true Scofield study Bible. Universalism and we will all be in heaven is contrary to what Jesus Christ says, and he came to save the first time. The next time it will be to Judge. You would horrified if you had a decent translation study Bible. And fully read it and studied it. But anyone who thinks that is a for the worst shock a person caught ever have. You are lost.
