"So then because thou art lukewarm, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

So many people are deceived into believing that because they prayed a prayer one time in their life, they are going to heaven. You assure yourself by telling yourself that you are fine, because you compare yourself to other lukewarm "Christians." You love the world so much, you talk, act and dress like the world, you love the music of the world and yet, you call yourself a Christian, because at one time, you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart, and you will not find this in any place in Scripture! A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them (Matt 7:18-20).

Salvation is by faith alone, and faith alone in Jesus Christ, and faith alone in Jesus Christ is preceded and followed by repentance! A turning away from sin! A hatred for the things that God hates, and a love for the things God loves! A growing in holiness, and a desire not to be like the world, and not to be like the great majority of American Christians, but to be like Jesus Christ! Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it (Matt 7:13-14).

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matt 7:21-23).
