Look, we know that history as it really happened has been rewritten to make somebody look good or bad.
Lee Harvey Oswald was branded the killer of John F. Kennedy without a trial by his peers and has gone down in history as his killer. Had he lived and had a trial, would he have been acquitted? We will never know.
We have a case right in this area where a high profile person has been lauded as a hero in his death. But the locals know what kind of man he really was.
So...we have some Christians who have been saved by the blood of the Lamb and they throw that away because they love the riches of this world and because they want to exercise power over God's people. And some want to say that is not perversion of what Christ taught?

One thing though.... I'm not touting anyone as being good enough. MY whole point is that no one is good. All have sinned and ALL deserve hell. The bible does not say because a person is good and does good works that God will save that person. It's quite the opposite. Repent surely is acknowledging your evil against God and turning from that evil. We are commanded to repent are we not? The command was not for some, but for all because all have sinned. So I don't possibly see how a good muslim, good momon, good jehovah wittness, good baptist, good pentecostal can be saved because of their goodness. If so please tell me.
Good works after salvation is entirely different, but it still doesn't keep you saved because you do good works.
One thing can get you saved and one thing will keep you saved. The blood of Jesus Christ.
Will good people go to heaven? Yes, but the real question is how does one become good?
