[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Catholic, and I have been told that there is only one person that we can be certain is not in Heaven, and that is Judas, and I have been told that there is no one we can be certain is not in Heaven.

There are many people that the Catholic Church recognizes as saints who have died and gone to Heaven, but I have never heard of the opposite of that, namely people we know for sure are not in Heaven.

So, while baptism places a mark on your soul that you are part of the Church, it doesn’t mean that you are bound for Heaven or that others are not.  [b]There is no way to know that[/b].  [/quote]

There is no way to know almost everything about religion.  It is a question of belief.

I personally view baptism as a symbolic expression- much like all of the sacraments.  Baptism is a symbolic expression of joining a faith and dedicating oneself (or a parent dedicating the baby to it I guess).  The same goes with marriage and communion.

None of them are determinative regarding salvation or "getting into heaven."[/quote]

[b]So then there’s really no importance attached to being “saved”? [/b][/quote]

Yeah, now I'm confused too.  So is getting into "heaven" different from having "eternal life?"  Cuz that's what John 3:16 says you'll have if you believeth in Him.[/quote]
