(24 Wise Questions - 12) “If one does not believe in Catholicism, can one still get to heaven? There are many good people who do not ascribe to any faith, or are atheists or people who belong to other faiths. Where will they go after death?"

(Chairman Manhee Lee) "Even if you carry out good deeds, you can not attain salvation and go to heaven unless you are born again"

Chairman Lee, Shincheonji Church of Jesus

This question comes from a place of darkness (ignorance). Even if you carry out good deeds and volunteer, you cannot go to heaven unless you are born again. People believe that if you are good, give large sums of monetary donations and attend church diligently, you will be saved. But this is not true. We must act in accordance with the Bible.

As it is written, the conditions for entering heaven are that one acts according to God’s will (Mt 7:21) and is born again of water (word: seed) and the holy spirit (Jn 3:5; 1 Pt 1:23). It is by being born again through God’s word, which is the seed (Lk 8:11), having God’s holy spirit with you, being sealed with the word of revelation from heaven and having one’s name written in the book of life that one can become a part of God’s family and enter heaven (Rv 20:15, 21:27).

In other words, a person must be born again with God’s spiritual seed and God’s spirit in order to go to heaven. What this means is that the people of religion today neither possess God’s spirit nor God’s seed.
