FFH said:First their is a belief in something or someone then there is action.
Belief in God will determine our actions... If we believe in God we will naturally try to do His will and not our own. If we don't believe in God we will naturally serve ourselves and miss out on the rewards of Heaven..
This is why I said "absolutely belief determines what kingdom we'll enter into" yet a more accurate statement would be "absolutely belief plays a big role in determining what kingdom we'll enter into".
So your right, belief alone cannot determine which kingdom we'll enter into but it is a big factor in my opinion....I know we shouldn't get into the trap of thinking all we have to do is believe, because we both know that works are required, but the Lord also looks upon the heart and sees our desires, if we don't get it all together before we die....
For instance my cousin committed suicide the day before his missionary farewell.... Is he condemned for eternity for committing such a sin ??? I doubt it...Will he be given a chance to repent and change his thought patterns and behaviors, Yes....
God is merciful and will look upon our hearts and will determine our desires and reward us accordingly to both our works and desires to do good. For instance if we didn't get the chance to get it all right here on earth but wanted to keep improving throughout the eternities...God will look at what we've done (works) and then look at what we want to do (desires) and then reward us accordingly.
Remember there are 3 degrees within the Celestial kingdom in which we can continue to progress...
I would not venture a guess as to what God will decide, but personally I think that is a dangerous view point.
I think one can only progress to a point in the bottom two levels of the celestial kingdom. only the highest level can one continue without end.
