Can a so-called cafeteria Christian even get to heaven?

A so-called cafeteria Christian is only a partial believer since this person picks and chooses belief based on personal preference and not the totality of Christ's divine revelation to man.

Are you on the road to heaven, or, are you a so-called Cafeteria Christian, a partial believer, choosing to deny Christ's divine revelation to man in its totality?

I believe it is wrong to judge if someone is going to heaven or not. It is God's place.

Everyone here could be labelled a "cafeteria Christian" based on the fact they don't agree with how one person or another interruption of scripture...

For example how many would disagree if you said the Bible says the earth is flat and the sun goes around the earth? Then add to that statement,"you don't believe the whole bible...etc etc..

I would say that many people misunderstand scripture like the apostles misunderstood the prophecies in the old testament about Christ until God removed the veil from their eyes.

The Bible does not explicitly say how old the Earth is or that it's flat but men will still argue about it.

With their arguments about foolish topics, devalue their own words when they speak the Gospel message.

However God can work in the lives of His people beyond all understanding and that is the hope and faith in Him that makes one not give up based on the fact no one sees clearly or understands perfectly God's will or His final judgement upon anyone person's life,,.

So yes, so called cafeteria Christians can be true believers.

And so called "true believers" can be the biggest hyprocrites and Pharisees that chase away the wounded and broken because they are jealous older brothers who don't want to share God's love and attention.

Last time i checked the Scriptures the Holy Spirit teaches we receive Salvation by Grace and Faith. I do not see anywhere right believing in a Divine Revelations must be established to receive Salvation.

The only Divine Revelation we need to believe in is Jesus being God. That is all we need to believe and the Thief on the cross proves this.

I find the Thief on the cross a major stumbling block for many people like Spherical.

All Divine Revelation comes to us through the Scriptures. One must read the Scriptures to receive the Divine Revelations God has for us. The Thief on the cross did not have the time to sit down and read the Scriptures to have a right believing to receive Salvation.

If,when you say, "divine revelation from CHRIST" you are saying "the WORD of GOD"
then I of course believe everything GOD said,but since without knowing with better understanding of what you mean by divine revelation my answer Is yes i believe everything GOD said.

Spherical is being totally evasive about what he believes.

You need to understand Spherical Salvation is NOT about believing any so called "Divine Revelation" from God. Salvation is all about Grace from God and Faith from God. On our own by ourselves we will never seek out God, we will never seek out our Salvation.

Its God who seeks us out and has given us His Grace and its God who has given us the Faith needed to believe in Him and accept Him as our Lord and Savior.

By insisting Salvation is based on believing Divine Revelation is a doctrine straight from Hell. Reread Ephesians 2:8,9 again Spherical. Where in these verses does "Right Thinking" appear?

Again its by Grace that God has given to us and by the Faith from God that we have our eyes opened up to see the Truth and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

Lets look at this from another angle. Tells us exactly what "Divine Revelation" is needed to receive Salvation if Salvation is received by Grace and Faith?

But knowing Spherical he or she will refuse to answer this question. All he or she wants to do is talk in circles puffing up their Pride.
