Does having a family member as a Vicar assure one a place in Heaven? (If it exists)

Would the whole family get into Heaven if a family member is a clergyman? Even if the person is not religious in the slightest and doesn't even believe in God. I say this because Heaven is considered a place where you're happy and what not but can you really be all that happy if the rest of your family is being owned in Hell.

To me, a person’ s eternal fate should be decided upon based on their actions, and not merely on their decision to believe.

I wondor what JIA would say...please no long posts, just a short answer would do....

In the Cold War in the US, the government tried to convince people that a US citizen could not serve in the USAF because his father had ties to communism.

So, I guess its true 🙂

Jesus could have raped people for 15 years, but no one cares...because he's the son of god.

I doubt it. I have a friend who's father is a priest - it is a point of more then a little contention in that family as she is an Atheist. To make it worse is the fact the father simply thinks she is doing it out of the whole "rebelling" thing. Which is far from accurate.

I suspect if she ended up in heaven simply because he father is in the Church then it would be a great annoyance to her, because her opinion matches Storm's - access to heaven, even if it did exist, should be more about the life one has led, not the fact ones father is religious or because one says "I believe in God".

No, just as each person is born into the world solo, each family member will leave this world solo. The decision to accept or reject Love (i.e. Jesus Christ) will determine where the family members will spend eternity.

Ah well, guess I'm going to Hell then.... I'll probably just repent on my death bed or something...

Nope, but it gives you a 20% discount in taxes in Heaven for each member of family that is a clergyman.

I'm glad we all die on our deathbeds rather than get hit by cars or drown or get shot.

Love your optimism.. 🙄

The majority of people don't die in accidents.

I assure you, according to some (if not one's own) other religion, it means Hell. Its an inescapable concept.

You're bound to go to SOMEONE's hell, since religions refuse to colaborate on Heaven/Hell issue...or any other issue for that matter.

But if you get to die on a deathbed, that is pretty money!
