They can agree with you that you are likely to go to Heaven as you believe.  No one is arguing with you.  Most believers have chosen not to judge you according to Matthew 7.  They can also choose to follow Paul where he says he presses on toward the goal of salvation in Christ without having the attitude of already attaining it.   Is that okay?  There is no doubt that you can brand yourself a perfect Christian as you sit and judge others all day.  Ultimately, the Lord knows where His children are, in what denomination and the genuineness of their repentance.  Read 1st John 1:9.

You can also define Heaven as a place where you endeavor to be at peace with people and pray accordingly.  You could also define Heaven as a place where you decided you must feel above others in some way, shape or form.  The second definition could bring you into conflict with the person who calls Heaven His throne and the earth is His footstool.


You may be a Pastor or a Bishop and your first experience with grace may have been when you were separated from your natural father as he was found abusing you and your siblings.  You were put up for adoption by a Senior Deacon who was compelled to save your family.  Your only reaction unfortunately for the Deacon was resentment since you never understood the love of God via his intervention.    You remained secretly resentful and  expressed this resentment passively as you ran into his family over the years.  Forgive as your life was saved and you may have had an early grave as you turned old enough that your father could fear you retaliating.  Thank God as you now minister to others.  Who is to decide who is born and who is not; who should live another day and who should not?    Be thankful.
