Thus, in conclusion we are safe in the knowledge that we are all going to Heaven! Some will just have to go through Hell first. Anyway while to non-Christians this might not seem as that big a deal...chances are certain fundies now will be seeking my blood and immediate excommuniaction for posting this.
Expect God will never allow Sin into the gates of heaven.

I've heard the philosophy from a few Christians that in the end, it is the individual who will not want to go to heaven. They will not want to be in the presence of God with their sins because they will remember everything perfectly. In other words, really it is the individual who judges themselves and damns themselves.
Again, this is just something I have heard and I am not entirely sure if it is cannon in any religion.

Guess what, Kelly_Bean?

That's what.
A large part of this debate is meaningless. Because there are so many different interpretations of the bible, it does not matter what the original author meant, all that matters is how people interpret and act upon that understanding in light of the modern world. Because few believers will give up their faith when confronted with evidence supporting alternative world-views, it's better for all parties involved if religions accept that some people disagree on points of doctrine, and allow them to continue worship. An assurance in one's own religion's infallibility has been the cause of much sorrow throughout history.
