EVERYONE IS REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS, BUT WE ARE NOT SAVED UNTIL JESUS SAYS SO ON JUDGEMENT DAY. LIFE IS A STRUGGLE WITH SINS, THE MORE YOU ARE WITH JESUS THE LESS YOU SIN.
Note that Paul includes an important condition: "provided you remain in his kindness." He is saying that Christians can lose their salvation by throwing it away. He warns, "Whoever thinks he is standing secure should take care not to fall" (1 Cor. 10:11-12).
If anyone asks you if you have been "saved," you should say, "I am redeemed by the blood of Christ, I trust in him alone for my salvation, and, as the Bible teaches, I am `working out my salvation in fear and trembling' (Phil. 2:12), knowing that it is God's gift of grace that is working in me."

21] But if the wicked do penance for all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die. [22] I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shall live. [23] Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways, and live? [24] But if the just man turn himself away from his justice, and do iniquity according to all the abominations which the wicked man useth to work, shall he live? all his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: in the prevarication, by which he hath prevaricated, and in his sin, which he hath committed, in them he shall die. [25] And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear ye, therefore, O house of Israel: Is it my way that is not right, and are not rather your ways perverse?
[26] For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die. [27] And when the wicked turneth himself away from his wickedness, which he hath wrought, and doeth judgment, and justice: he shall save his soul alive. [28] Because he considereth and turneth away himself from all his iniquities which he hath wrought, he shall surely live, and not die

Are You Guaranteed Heaven?
Some people promote an especially attractive idea: All true Christians, regardless of how they live, have an absolute assurance of salvation, once they accept Jesus into their hearts as "their personal Lord and Savior." The problem is that this belief is contrary to the Bible and constant Christian teaching.
Keep in mind what Paul told the Christians of his day: "If we have died with him [in baptism; see Rom. 6:3-4] we shall also live with him; if we persevere we shall also reign with him" (2 Tim. 2:11-12). If we do not persevere, we shall not reign with him. In other words, Christians can forfeit heaven.
The Bible makes it clear that Christians have a moral assurance of salvation (God will be true to his word and will grant salvation to those who have faith in Christ and are obedient to him [1 John 4:19-24]), but the Bible does not teach that Christians have a guarantee of heaven. There can be no absolute assurance of salvation.
Writing to Christians, Paul said, "See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness to you, provided you remain in his kindness, otherwise you too will be cut off" (Rom. 11:22-23; see also 1 Cor. 15:1-2, Heb. 10:26-29, 2 Pet. 2:20-21).
Note that Paul includes an important condition: "provided you remain in his kindness." He is saying that Christians can lose their salvation by throwing it away. He warns, "Whoever thinks he is standing secure should take care not to fall" (1 Cor. 10:11-12).
If anyone asks you if you have been "saved," you should say, "I am redeemed by the blood of Christ, I trust in him alone for my salvation, and, as the Bible teaches, I am `working out my salvation in fear and trembling' (Phil. 2:12), knowing that it is God's gift of grace that is working in me."
The good go to heaven and the bad to hell is a pagan teaching, it comes from those wanting to control and even get rich with those wanting to get into heaven! The Bible says that when a person dies we are just dead (Eccl 9:5) For the living know they shall die, but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten!
As far as having a soul that leaves the body at death what does the Bible say? Ezekiel 18:4) Behold, all souls are mine, as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine, the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
When you get right down to it Jesus never taught that all would go to heaven, when Martha’s brother died she knew he would be resurrected in the last day, she said as much at John 11:24: Martha saith unto him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Seems to me if Lazarus soul was still alive 4 days after his death it should have been in heaven because we know he was one of the good guys, right! Yet Jesus didn’t correct Martha because he knew what is written at Eccl 9:5, Lazarus was dead and all his thoughts were gone and didn’t exist anymore!
God’s word teaches the resurrection of the dead in the last day! (Acts 24:15) having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and the unjust.
The Bible teaches a resurrection of all who have fallen asleep in death weather they were good or bad so where does this bad go to hell come from! It seems historians know more about where these doctrines come from than the clergy does! Historian Will Durant observed: “Christianity did not destroy paganism; it adopted it. From Egypt came the ideas of a divine trinity.” In the preface to Edward Gibbon’s History of Christianity, we read: “If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism.
And for anyone who says they pick Jesus as their personal savior they need to reexamine what Jesus says at John 15:16: Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
There those that say once saved always saved are another group that should know that that’s not what the Bible teaches! Gal 5:19-21) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, 21 envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Also those that say just their faith saves them, what does the Bible say? (James 2:26) For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
Wake up people, you are being deceived just as Eve was, she thought she was benefiting herself when in truth she sealed her death! The Bible warns us that there would be false teachers at the time of the end and broad and spacious is the road that leads off to destruction yet cramped and narrow is the road that leads to life! (2 Timothy 4:3-4) For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lust; 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.
WHAT WE LEARN FROM THE RESURRECTION ACCOUNTS .. The bible clearly says that "the dead know nothing at all." That was true of Lazarus. ( Ecclesiastes 9:5) Just as Jesus said, it was if Lazarus had been sleeping. (John 11:11) While he was in the grave, Lazarus knew "nothing at all." When Jesus resurrected Lazarus, many people saw it. Even Jesus enemies knew that he had preformed this miracle. Lazarus was alive, and this proved that the ressuection really happened. (John 11:47) Also, many people went to visit Lazarus, and as a result, they started to believe that Jesus had been sent by God. Jesus enemies didn't like that, so they planned to kill both Jesus and Lazarus.-John 11:53;12:9-11. how dose the hope of the resurrection make you feel? You may be wondering, What about my family and friends who have died , will they be resurrected too! It comforts us to know that Jehovah really wants to bring the dead back to life. THEY "WILL HEAR THE VOICE AND COME OUT" In the past, those who were resurrected were reunited with their family and friends here on earth. This will also happen in the future, but it will be much better. why? because those who are brought back to life on earth will have the opportunity to live forever and never die again. And they will live in wold very different from the one we live in today. There will be no war, crime ,and no sickness. RESURRECTION TO HEAVEN the Bible also tells us about that some people will live in heaven. when someone is resurrected to heaven, he is not brought back to life as human with a human body. he is resurrected to life in heaven as a spirit person. just before he died , Jesus told his faithful disciples: "I am going my way to prepare a place for you." ( John 14:2) This means that some of his followers would be resurrected to live with him in heaven. How many? Jesus said that it would be a small number, a "little flock." ( Luke 12:32) The apostle John gave the exact number when he saw Jesus "standing on ( Heavenly) Mount Zion, and with him 144,000." Revelation 14:1. Very soon, Jehovah will free all humans from death, and death will be gone forever! ( Read Isaiah 25:8) But what will those who go to heaven do there? The Bible explains that they will rule with Jesus in a kingdom government. fore more information WWW.JW.ORG
No. If there is any fear than there is doubt. Just because you believe you’re going to heaven doesn’t mean you can cancel your medical insurance. You still want to live as long as you can. And of course death is still scary, it’s human nature.
Yes. One reason is to die before raising your children. Another reason would be fear of not doing most of the things most people desire to do before leaving, such has experiencing grand kids or watch their children get married, etc. Usually the fear of dying is not about death itself, but rather the timing of death or how you die, whether it be quick and painless, or the usual of a slow, painful death.
