Technically, the definition of a heretic is: a person believing in or practicing religious heresy. And the definition of heresy is:
belief or opinion contrary to orthodox religious (especially Christian) doctrine.

I think that's a human definition of heresy, and we can safely say that the divine definition would be more like: belief or opinion contrary to the truth.

So, since I don't believe that anyone can be perfect here on earth, we all have some part of the truth that is messed up in our heads. which means that every one of us believes some bit of heresy, which means every one of us is heretical. But every one who is truly saved is going to heaven, so yes, heretics will go to heaven but there will be no heretics in heaven. (we'll see our sin and be made perfect, no longer heretical). :) I hope that made sense...

This makes sense, Thanks.

Nor is "Trinity" in the Bible, but it is a Biblical concept.
I cannot find 'heretic' in my Bible--can you find it in yours?
Actually, I found it--was just spelled differently (good ole King James):

[TABLE="width: 500"]
[TR]
[TD]Titus 3:10-11 King James Version (KJV)

10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

Ah-ha! No wonder. I thought it was in there! But using that searching device in the KJV, you wouldn't find words like color or music either :)

Does this mean the word "doublety" in the bible? :p
I was talking about the word, "rapture" not being in the Bible either. And of those three, it is the only one that is not even a concept (as we make it out to be: A Spiritual escape-pod)

If you are an ex-heretic, do you believe Heretics' go to Hell?

None of us can know, in truth and for a fact, if our ideas here on Earth were God's true intent (as we interpret them today) until those truths are revealed to us in the hereafter. Thus, probably everyone in our Heavenly state will be an ex-heretic.

Now, if your original question had been asked something like this:
"Do you believe people who deliberately teach what they understand to be in opposition to God's word will inherit Everlasting Life with Him?"
THAT would be a sensible and reasonable thing to discuss.

Are people in opposition to God if believe something which they know is contrary to God's divine revelation?
