did PAUL INVENTED CLEVER IDEA to accept JESUS as SAVIOR???
DID Paul cleverly invented this idea,after Jesus, that if he put this idea to world,that Jesus died for all worlds sins...and if any one accept Jesus as savior...then he will not burnt in hell...
so main theme before this cleverly invented idea was.. to attract people towards Christianity....so that people once accept Jesus as savior and keep living a sinful life and keep doing sins..in a belief that they will be granted heaven after death...that's why Christianity is the main religion of world....due to this belief.....
so Christians believes that "ticket to heaven" is to accept Jesus as Savior and those who wont accept it, will go to hell. i need comments

your question sounds real as jesus never said in his life that he is son of god, or he is dying for worlds sins, therefore it is quite acceptable that this idea was invented by paul.

Islams "ticket to heaven" is killing ALL non-muslims.
Jesus died for the sins of the world and whoever believes in him will never die, but will have everlasting life. That's what the bible says.
It wasn't Paul, post the scripture you're talking about.
John 5:24: "...he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life." This passage implies that some Christians may be able to avoid the final judgment.
Christians know that not every Christian will go to heaven, only the faithful.
What attracts people to islam? 72 virgins?
What do the muslim women get when they die?
I'd rather have sex before I get blown up by a suicide bomber because there's no proof you're gonna get it in heaven.

Paul never put that idea forward. Jesus did not die for the sins of all of humanity, only the ones that the Father gave him before the foundations of the world. No "ticket to Heaven" through acceptance of Jesus either, we don't earn or merit anything through our own effort of selecting God off a menu. The Holy Spirit opens our eyes and we see, it just happens and we're happy about it. All of salvation from predestination & foreknowledge to eternal life, are courtesy of God, not anything we do for ourselves. Paul wasn't selling anything. It's God that gets to do the shopping, and He did that long ago.

because of the fact of this the Catholic Church baptizes everybody which contains little ones. Baptism is what saves us (a million Pt 3:21) because of the fact baptism confers unquestionably grace. it is not in basic terms an outward sign. somebody who has no longer the psychological skill to comprehend may be saved by way of baptism. The stain of unique sin is bumped off by way of baptism. Your brother won't additionally be culpable for what he does considering he has no longer the comprehend-the thank you to renowned what he's doing. yet, if he's baptized, unique sin is forgiven and he has saving grace working in his existence. do no longer challenge approximately that accepting Jesus as your own Lord and Savior component with your brother. this is an staggering component to do and everybody ought to do it. everybody ought to make a private dedication to Christ. yet that practice of praying a prayer to settle for Jesus as your own Lord and Savior after which you're saved is rather no longer contained in the bible and it did no longer start to be practiced until eventually the 18th century or so (Puritans). traditionally, Christians have constantly believed that baptism is the initiating of the Christian existence because of the fact's what the bible teaches (Mark sixteen:sixteen, Acts 2:38, a million Pt 3:21, John 3:5). BTW, I also have a sister who's mentally handicapped, even nevertheless perhaps no longer as critically as your brother. She likes God and has long gone to 3 bible learn and prayer conferences. She says that she likes going to them. no longer everybody is conscious her yet this is large. She is a eye-catching individual and has a heart of gold. She loves everybody with the heart of a young person.

Paul wasn't the one who "invented" the idea--Jesus was the perfect Lamb of God, destined to die for the sins of the world. except for that, you got it right
