One of the promises that Jesus gives you when you become a christian is this :- 'Who shall confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.' 1 Corinthias 1:8 NASB Likewise: 'Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.' Philippians 1:6 KJV And also: 'The righteous is an everlasting foundation' Proverbs 10:25 If you truly believe AND repent and become a christian, acknowledging that Jesus is your saviour, then these promises are yours. I am sure the 'I don't know you' response.' refers to people that try to deceive the Lord, by saying they are Christians. They may well be able to do miraculous things, such as casting out demons and the like, but I warn you! Don't use this as a judge of a christian person, the devil is in the healing business too! Those people may do these miraculous things in 'the Lords name', but at the end of all things, the truth will be revealed. As for everlasting life not being the same as heaven. I am sure Jesus is saddened that you think his ONE GREAT SACRIFICE was insufficient to get you to heaven. Oh well. 'He is always watching, never sleeping. Jehovah himself is caring for you!' Psalm 34:7 See you, Drew.
