yup, based on your belief in jesus.

so the most evil of men get into heaven.... serial killers and what not, as long as Jesus Christ is their personal savior.


Meanwhile, men and women traveling africa helping homeless dying children that dont believe in God go to hell.

Provided they are sincere in their belief, yes. God forgives and forgets.

Yes, salvation is not based upon works.

Many so-called Christians have the misconception that salvation is based upon works.

James 2:14

"What good is it, my brothers, is a man claims to have faith but has no deeds ? Can such faith save him ? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it ? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

Action = works.

(Action = Works) != Salvation

You cannot get saved and go to heaven via works alone.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

The verse you quoted means that faith itself is nothing if it is not backed up by action, ie: Put your money where your mouth is.

There must be some pretty good company in hell, and some pretty lousy company in heaven.

I wonder what Gandhi is up to.

Knowing Ghandi, probably overthrowing Satan's regime nonviolently...
