Nope, sorry. When you die you get your six feet of cold earth. What you leave behind is your legacy, nothing more. Make your life count. This ain't no dress rehersal.

From God's perspective, yes. He is not bound by time like we are so once you confess and believe that Christ Jesus died on a cross so that your sins could be forgiven, you have instant salvation. For more details, I recommend going to the link provided.



Many people overlook the full definition of the word salvation, however. In reality, there are three aspects to consider.



The first aspect is Justification. When a person becomes a Christian, he or she is immediately justified before God. This is where many people stop, but there is far more to the Christian's life than this.



The second aspect is Sanctification. Out of love for what Christ has done for us, we spend the balance of our life saying "thank you" by living by the principles of the Bible. You can expect a lot of joy, pain, confussion, love, etc. as the words of the Bible affect your way of thinking about God, others and yourself.



The third aspect is Glorification. Once a Christian dies, he or she is glorified for eternity. Neither your imagination nor mine can fathom what this means ultimately. One thing the Bible is clear on, though, is that it will be awesome! Whatever struggles there may be in this life (I guarantee you many), they will be worth turmoil.



Blessings to you. Don't forget to go to the link provided for a clearer understanding of salvation.

you absolutely can!! all you have to do is know the ABC's of salvation!! A) Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, B) Believe in him and that he died for your sins, and C) Commit your life to him!! and that is all you need to do!! Just ask yourself right now. If you were to die tonight, do you know where you'd spend eternity? If you don't know or you say "Hell", you need to do the ABC's if you say "yes, Heaven" then you are saved. it's a simple as that!!! just think about it. Where do you want to spend eternity?

I believe you surly can! Try asking for forgiveness and really mening it knowing you are doing it wrong and you will feel a physical lightening and a feeling of a weight being physically lifted from you. I have talked to alot of folks and it is pretty much the same for everyone whom I have talked to and were really saved by God.

According to Christianity,yes. It only takes Jesus.

Absolutely, anytime or anywhere. Just between you and God, you don't need some big ceremony or something.

absolutly, it can just be you and Him, you just open your heart to His love and accept Him as your Lord, Beloved and Savior and He will be right there, danceing over you in joy, He loves you so very much.
