GOSPEL NUGGET #260

Which Among The Many Is The True Denomination? 

A man in a dream found himself at the gates of hell. He knocked and inquired as to who were inside:

* "Are there Baptists in here?" he asked. "Yes" was the answer.
* "Are there any from the Born Again group?" he asked again. "Yes, we have some of them here." came the answer. 
* "What about Methodists?" Again, the answer was "Yes."
* "How about Roman Catholics?" he curiously asked. "Yes, we have them too," was the reply. 

As he continued asking, he realized that there are people in hell coming from all denominations. He walked away perturbed, puzzled and perplexed. When he found himself in heaven, he asked the angel standing at the gate:

"When I went to hell, I discovered that there are people there coming from all denominations. I am in distress because I belong to one of them. Which then, among the many, is the true denomination in order for one to go to heaven?"

The angel replied: "You are greatly mistaken! Going to heaven and being with God and enjoying Him forever is not a matter of which denomination you belong to. It is what you do with His Son whom He sent as the Savior of sinners. Have you trusted in Him or not? That's the issue. That's the question."

Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
