So many things in scripture point to "if your are in Christ, then..." and to be honest you find that a lot of people want to claim these things  but remain unwilling to abide in Him or live their life in Christ. My question is can you be saved, can you have accepted God's gift of grace paid for by the blood of the Lamb and still not go to heaven?

 

Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

but.......

 

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

 

the Bible does not contradict itself so what then does that leave these two seemingly contradicting verses to mean? Is there a difference between being saved and going to heaven?

 

 

 

 

Joh 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

 

 

Can you be saved and not abide in Him? I think so...but I do not think that being saved will do you any eternal good unless you also choose to die to self and abide in Him....
