We are told in John 3:16,that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have Eternal Life.Does it mean that there's an eternal security for christians to make heaven irrespective of the kind of life they live?

If we were perfect here there would be no need for heaven. We would be God. There would also be no need to die.

you are right,but alot of teachings are being thought that once you are borne again,you are automatically destined for heaven,regardless of the kind of life that person is living.That's to say once somebody becomes borne again and afterwards he starts living in sin again,he'll still go to heaven.I guess that's dogmatism and not Christ's doctrines.

NO they can't go to hell, except Jesus to guide your life, and its all good, just apologize every sunday
After all Jesus died for "my" sins....

...He took three for me

well you just spoke from your perception and understand thus i acknowledge that.But if Jesus Christ is our standard then i think what He has thought is the ultimate.in Matt 7:21,it tells that not everyone who calls Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of God but those who do the will of His Father.that's to say that one might be borne again and know all the precepts of God and yet will not make it to heaven if he's not doing or living the will of God,mostly the so called christian who claim to've known and seen God.in Rev.21:8 says "but the cowardly,unbelieving,abominable,murderers,sexually immoral,socerers,idolaters and all liers shall have their part in the lake of fire which burns with fire and brimestone,which's the second death".This means that anyone who indulges in any mentioned act or even the ones that are not mentioned here but condradicts the word of God,will certainly go to Hell if He dies.Both the christians and unbelievers will face this.Therefore if the truth should be told,we must know that there's no eternal and automatic security to heaven for christians,every christian who lives in sin and dies in it will certainly go to Hell

"Fearnot" you knows the answer for your topic, that's Matthew.7:21, Revelation.21:8. Also Matthew.7:13.Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Many there be which go in thereat means both believers that are living double lifes and unbelievers. One might be in that road without knowing and yet still talk about Jesus. If he/she dies without repentance, his/her place of eternity will be in hell.

I think the passage is a partial explanation,,,,believing does not merely imply a thought process 'I believe jesus died on the cross for my sin, so let me go over here and commit this murder and I am already forgiven,,,,'....kind of thing

I think believing in him includes the active process of following our fathers guidance,,,,,,as he did and as he also instructed us to do in ADDITION to believing in him

I think that is implied in the passage about some who say 'lord, lord' will not get into heaven, because even though they claim to know the lord,, he hasnt known them

just saying it, or thinking it, isnt enough, working at living it is also required,,

If you believe in Him you will live the lifestyle he showed us it was possible, and therefore be saved.

How about reading what the Apostle Paul says in the latter half of Romans 7 and what he says at the beginning of Romans 8. In that passage, Paul discusses his ongoing battle with personal sin despite the fact that he was an Apostle.

By the way, the name "Hell" comes from Norse mythology, and Norse terminology isn't in the Greek New Testament manuscripts. The term used in the Greek manuscripts is "Hades", which, in Greek mythology, is the resting place of all deceased people.

Amen! We can't forget Judas either-Many who think they are saved truly are not, Jesus knows the secrets of the heart. More and more people who profess Christ are beginning to show the truth---the darkness of their hearts. These are some very dark times in America and the world. I have been mocked by professing Christians for living out the faith and life and avoiding evil as much I possibly can. Come soon, Lord Jesus.

Jesus'll soon cos if not even the elected will be decieved in Gala 6:7,"Don't be decieved,God's not mocked for whatever a man sows that he'll reap.".Today some teachings from pit of Hell are meted out today in some churches and they are practising them and It's really unfortunate. Geniunechristian,you should rejoice more when they revile and mock you for christ's sake. Truely great's ur reward in Heaven and pls keep doing good and dnt grow weary. Ma prayerz and wishes for you!

Life in the Spirit is not being a slave to Sin.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
(Romans 8:8)

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Romans 8:13)
