from Jesus:
If you read the scriptures
carefully and make an effort to look beyond the bias with which most
Christians were brought up, you will see that I constantly attempted
to help people understand that you will not win your salvation by doing
outer things. This includes belonging to a particular outer religion
and following all its rules and believing all its doctrines. Contrary
to what most Christians are willing to admit, this does indeed include
the Christian religion.
No power on Earth, and that includes any religion known to man and the
religious authorities running that religion, can guarantee your salvation.
What can guarantee your salvation is the inner quality of your heart,
mind and soul. That is why I continually told people to change these
inner conditions and not worry about the outer conditions. As just one
example, look at my teaching that it is not what goes into a man's mouth
that defiles him but what comes out of it. The reason being that what
comes out of your mouth comes from the heart, and it is the quality
of your heart that will give you entry to Heaven or keep you out of
Heaven. Look at my parable about the man who entered the wedding feast
without the wedding garment. And there are many other examples for those
were willing to look beyond the mainstream Christian mindset, a mindset
that is strikingly similar to the attitude of the scribes and Pharisees,
whose righteousness could not get them – or you – into Heaven.
With that in mind, there is no reason to assume that anything automatically
happens if a person changes from Christianity to Islam or another religion.
It all depends on the quality of the person's heart. It is possible
to qualify for your salvation by following the religion of Islam, as
explained elsewhere.
Yet it is indeed easier to do so if you follow the mystical aspect of
Islam, Sufism.
However, if you are willing to follow the mystical aspect of Islam,
why not follow the mystical aspect of Christianity, as you find it on
this website? After all, the mystical paths of the world’s true
religions all lead to the same place. If you follow any one of these
paths long enough, you will see that the path you are on begins to merge
with the mystical paths that sprang for all of the other true religions.
So you can be saved by following any true religion, but you must still
enter Heaven through my sacred Heart, as I explain elsewhere.
There is no reason that changing your religion should lead to a loss
of possessions or money, unless you live in a society where some people
will take your possessions or money because they feel threatened by
your change of religion. Yet no force in Heaven will take such things
away from you because you decide to change religion.
