The Book of Life is God's Book!
Not the Bible. On judgemqnt day, to my understanding, our names have to be in there to go to heaven! Of course I don't know if God has a literal book, (He could) but we better hope our names are written in it, or his heart, on that day!   Last edited by violet; 07-24-2007 at 08:04 AM.

Are you referring to the "Lamb's Book Of Life"?

Daniel, sweetie, it is all about being saved.
We love and live for Christ and call him our savior, never be ashamed of him or serving him, refrain from sin, repent when you slip and do your best! Pray and worship him! I personally believe baptism is necessary. It is an outward sign of washing away sin, our sincerity and commitment to God and obedience to him! What more can we do? But it is important to do our best and put Christ first in everything! He knows our names but he knows us personally on a different level. He will know who has served him and who hasn't no matter what your name is! |

Daniel, it is very important that baptism comes from your heart after you fully accept Christ and truly repent of your sins.
As I said, it signifies a washing away of your sins, sincerity and obedience as an outward act of your heart. Find/ call a minister to talk to about baptism.  |

Daniel,
You don't have to "give up sin" in order to accept Jesus Christ. You come to Him just as you are, and He will do the changing. The idea of having to be sinless in order to come to the Lord is a lie of the devil. He doesn't say, "Whosoever is perfect and shall call upon the name of Lord shall be save." He says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." After we are His then He will set about making us like His Son. Jesus came to seek and to save the LOST. |
