Question from a reader: Are people born in Israel automatically saved and going to Heaven (Romans 11:26), or do they still have to accept Jesus as their personal Savior to be truly saved?

Question from a reader: Will babies and those with impaired mental abilities be saved and go to Heaven even though they aren’t able to understand asking Jesus to be their personal savior?

Question from a reader: Many people say there is only one way to Heaven by accepting Jesus Christ as personal Savior, but then they default to several other ways (young age, mental illness, being born in Israel, keeping sacrificial requirements of the law) and make excuses when cornered. Is believing in Jesus really the ONLY way?

I would encourage you to continue to saturate your mind with Scripture throughout your waking hours and pray honestly to God about your dreams, continually asking for His grace and mercy to purify your mind.

Everyone who tries to live the Christian life fails. I’ve failed. Randy has failed. But God doesn’t reject us when we fail; He helps us grow. You expressed there are many things keeping you from the life God wants for you. God wants your life to be full of hope, love, peace, grace and forgiveness and so much more. 

The thinking is that since there is no marriage in Heaven (Matthew 22:30; Mark 12:25), there will be no procreation and the human race will be fulfilled in number.

Do you think it’s possible that in Heaven the Holy Spirit could come upon women like He did with Mary and allow them to conceive? What a joy that would be for all the women who longed to conceive but never did.

Question from a reader: My wife died two months ago and I’ve heard a preacher say that when you die “you don’t go home alone”, and that two angels go with you. What does the Bible say about this?

Question from a reader: I’m trying to figure out how strongly to publicly profess my Christian faith, especially online. Do you have any advice?
