I'm perfectly content to let Jesus decide � not all the "I am" claimants nor any of the self-appointed "you ain't" judgers.
How many ways into the kingdom of God are there? Here too, I'm perfectly content to let only Him decide. I'm pretty sure that others' opinions don't overrule His decrees regarding the matter.
I don't recall that He was ever reticent about either matter, either.
But those are just a couple of my opinions.
"Good enough" isn't.
Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.

I am. When I don't act like it, I still am, by the grace of God. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Sadly, this is bound to happen... Matthew 7:21-23
New King James Version (NKJV)
I Never Knew You
21 �Not everyone who says to Me, �Lord, Lord,� shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, �Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?� 23 And then I will declare to them, �I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!� When really, the way to Heaven according to Jesus himself is this.... John 17:3
King James Version (KJV)
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Relationship. It's all about relationship.

How many ways into the kingdom of God are there?
Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Jesus answered and said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

I"try"to obey because I'm saved,not to be saved.
The greatest thing I ever learned is that my salvation isn't based on me.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith�and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. Eph 2:8-9

A young priest told the Pope:" Father, I have good news and bad news." The Pope asked for the good news first. "Jesus has returned to Earth!" "And the bad", asked the Pope? "He landed in Salt Lake City"!

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you." (John 15:13�14) Three verses later."These things I command you,that you love one another."(John 15:17) No arguement from me that we should keep the commandments,but my salvation is based on my faith in Jesus's sacrifice for me,not in my obediance.

two elderly gentlemen were sitting around chatting -
the older of the 2 - pushing 90 yrs of age , looks over at the other guy and calmly proclaims.
"I do not know when my time will come but i'm getting afraid that all my freinds that have passed away and have gone to be with our Lord in Heaven , may be starting to wonder."
the other gentalman looks over and asks- " Wonder what?"
he proclaims - "If I don't show up pretty soon - I'm sure they will all think ,I went the other way! "
