Since you believe someone died for your sins. It makes sense that all your sins the ones you've already committed and the ones you will commit have already been forgiven. So it's done you have a free ticket into heaven.
So I ask, why do you car eto follow rules and regulations? Why do you care about remaining moral and trying to be better then everyone else?
There sins have already been forgiven aswell so they will be in heaven with you! Yet your better then they are?
Jesus died for everyones sins! So who are we judging?
Why do we care whether or not someone breaks the law and why do we not break the law as we see fit?
I mean were all going to heaven! Jesus died for everyone!
So with this mans death I see no reason to care about anything anymore!
This type of logic is why Christians will doom us all! Especially if they believe in killing people to go to a place where murder is not allowed!

Dear XsweetNspicy,
I disagree with your description of Christian beliefs. All sins were paid for, that does not mean all are saved. As for why we should try and be better people, Paul answered that. Saying the name and bowing your head does not save you. It says that many will come to Jesus calling his name and he will say that he never knew them, not because they missed a rule; but, because they did not love others. As for good works, they do not save anyone; but, anyone who is saved with a heart that wishes to do good. Those who follow the rules just to be saved and don't love others are just as condemned.

Yes, Jesus did indeed die for the sin of the world, BUT the key to this is accepting him as your savior, growing a personal relationship with him through his teachings, and along with that comes attempting to live a righteous and Christ like life, which includes being a moral and ethical person.

Technically, according to some, all you need is one day as a Christian under your belt and you're good to go when you go.
Only so much can be done in a day one would think, god took 6 days.
All sins are paid for yet not all are saved. Last I remember we are not supposed to be judgemental so should we expect less of god? NO! This means there is no chosen!

Then he will say also to those who are at his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed ones, into eternal fire, that which was prepared for The Devil and for his Angels.

Not being Christian is a sin. That sin was paid for!

Dear Turq1,
The question is not how much time needs, the question is what was truly in their heart. Saying the name and believing he died for you is simply not enough. It only matters if you are truly changed and love others as you love yourself. It is also not enough to call yourself a christian, many do and are not. I am also not a chair just because I call myself one.

According to orthodoxy, that's not the case.
