What don't you believe about God?
Horoscopes are based on nonsense.
No, you won't. Based on your post, your current destination is Hell.
Well, you got that part right, at least. You won't have any friends in Hell.
Why do you reject the One who made you?
So... why did you join TOL?
Except the ability to communicate and use your mind, which you cannot do without borrowing from the Christian worldview.
Yes, I said that correctly. Every intelligible syllable you utter tacitly borrows from the Christian worldview. Your ability to read this sentence borrows from the Christian worldview. Even your rejection of the truth it conveys also borrows from the Christian worldview. Every blink of your eye testifies not only to the existence of God but to the truth of Christianity.

God believes in you
Don't let your dislike for the Christian religion prevent you from accepting Christ into your life.
my wife asked me to be sure to get the fortune cookies at a Chinese restaurant, yesterday. I wonder if she got, "you will go to heaven"
Then why are you on a Christian Website?
Q: Are you Going to Heaven?
A: Yes, because Jesus took the full force of God's wrath, which was meant for me, on the cross. He then rose from the dead. I accepted those acts in faith and am now a member of the Body of Christ which guarantees me a seat in Heaven.

Our pastor has asked this question on occasions: On a scale from 1-10 how do you feel you are saved? Several times I've held my hand high that I Knew I was saved and felt I knew why. There have been so many experiences over many years which have let me know my God is real, is alive, knows what is going on in my life and cares, knows my future, will speak spiritually in a quiet voice to me and has been willing to give me meaningful dreams and visions. I am sure that I have a relationship with him, but last Sunday on a scale of 1-10 I raised my hand at 7. I just wasn't feeling worthy enough at that moment to deserve such a blessing and a bit ashamed to hold my hand up with a 10 - like I am thinking before my friends that I am somehow someone perfect.
So:
Do you think it is right for a pastor to ask a qualifying question like that during a prayer in the service?
Isn't he suggesting there are measures to salvation?
Are there times when an individual's "knowing with faith" is weak?

Please instead of calling me lost or a heretic ... just someone share the scriptures they accept that proves this wrong. Thank you.

I, of course, have a thought without much time to write but here goes. God is spiritual and lives in a spiritual realm. There are holding places within this invisible (to us) spiritual realm. Places where saints wait wearing robes of white, where lost human soul live in torment of thirst and heat with gnashing teeth, and places where even the LORD's angels exist. Awaiting the culmination of God's plans. I happen to believe that this realm is where some await comfortably and others do not. The await the Lake of Fire event after Christ rules 1,000 years upon the earth. His kingdom will be here and his kingdom will be with him ... but at the time of the Lake of Fire ... all things will be made new and it will be his kingdom on a perfect earth as he planned in the beginning. Satan and all who have chosen to deny our Lord and follow Satan will be transferred to "the Lake of Fire." Now, God says it was designed for the angels who have never been mortals ... but I am sure about the saints voiding the Lake of Fire (the second death). However the lost souls whose bodily dust will not be raised will survive the Lake of Fire. I'm not proclaiming this a set truth, but I am searching for what others can share, whom are more positive that lost people will be tormented eternally or that their spirit life will return to God who allocated it in the beginning and their dust (elements of creation used to form their bodies) are just consumed in that realm of destruction.
Please instead of calling me lost or a heretic ... just someone share the scriptures they accept that proves this wrong. Thank you.

Salvation is binary... you're saved or you're lost.
I recommend that everyone get saved.
If you want to know how... just ask.
P.S. Your belief in your salvation may be on a 1-10 scale... but that's not the same as actually being saved.
Assuming your story is true, you have an idiot pastor and he has an idiot student. The blind leading the blind.
As for your pastor, he seems not to understand the difference between talking to God (prayer) and talking to an audience (very common among modern pastors, by the way).
As for you, there seems to be not one jot nor tittle of your doctrine that isn't based on your emotional state of mind and other unfalsifiable, make-believe religious experiences.

I think that this type of thing is all too common nowadays.
