    salvation is being made alive together with Christ alive spiritualy, not getting your sins forgiven as some teach error. Jesus died on a cross twousand years ago to take away the sins of the whole world never to see them again and ushered in a new covenant that we as christians live in today (hebrews 10:16-18) read all the chapters of hebrews very in lighting.

    Well yes and no. Yes you go to hell. But hell is not what you think it is. When you die, you are unconscious (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10). Those scriptures you read that speak of eternal torture are symbolic of situations. Not of literal torment in hell. Check out Revelation 21:3, 4. It says that pain is to be done away with. It does not say it will be done away with only for humans. For even God has pain (Psalms 78:41). So this doing away with pain is completely. So, since pain is to be done away with, how then could people be tormented forever?

    You never mentioned you were saved? If you're saved you're saved. By grace ye are saved through faith and this not of your own but is a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8

    Jesus never said you must do your best not to sin and serve the Lord, he said, "Ye must be born again," John 3

    With actual sin which is different from original sin, actual sin like mortal sin holds the consequence of eternal punishment which if the sin of grave matter can cause the friendship to be lost with God if the sin is not repented for in this life. And repented for mortal sin and venial sin holds the consequence of temporal punishment which you can look at as being satisfaction which is owed to God for having violated the Law of God which if it's not fully repaid for in this life gets repaid for in the next life. Sin can demerit Actual Grace because it causes charity to be lost or subside and not all sins are equal in regards to their punishment because some sins are of grave matter and some sins are not of grave matter.

    Through good deeds (charity) merits Actual Grace and good deeds (charity) is not equal in it's value to God. For one good deed will not be equal to another good deed, just as one sin is not equal to another sin. The other factor is that God already knows what is in your heart if you had died and you in your heart were going to repent guess what you already have and God already knows this.

    The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window

    If one has not committed and put their faith in Jesus Christ for all their sins they've committed. then they do not have a place where Christ is.

    I think if you go to this site, it will give you a fast quiz and understanding.

    Yes, because god likes to torture people for inane 'sins', like not 'believing in him'.
