Every Protestant asks: “Am I going to Heaven?”

Every Protestant asks:  “Am I going to Heaven?”  The Bible is clear about who cannot go to Heaven.

At the end of The Bible’s teaching, Revelation 22:12 begins:

“Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to render to every man according to his works.”

It is obvious to the honest:   Our “works” make the difference between getting into Heaven or suffering forever in hell.   The Bible ends with clarity.  Merely believing is not enough!  We are saved by “works”.

. . . according to his works.” tells us plainly that:  “I am going to Heaven because I believe!” is a lie.  Belief is not enough.

The next verse tells us Who He is:  “I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. ”  From Genesis to Revelation, and from the moment of conception to natural death, He is the beginning and end.

Then, He tells us who gets to Heaven:  “Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.”

How do we do what is necessary to “wash ourselves in The Blood of The Lamb”?  We believe enough to obey His clear call to Catholic Communion.  He repeated :  “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”

The final passages in The Bible tell us who will NOT get into Heaven.

“Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and unchaste, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

Every non-Catholic must ask a hard, soul-saving question about their beliefs:

“I knowingly support a denomination that does not condemn abortion-inducing birth control pills, devices, and implants.   Can I help but be among the ‘unchaste, and murderers’ Revelation includes in its roll-call of the damned?”
