If we repent, are baptized in Jesus Name and receive the Holy Ghost we can make it to heaven. We need to fully repent of our sins. Repentance and the brazen alter has got to be the first step in the plan of salvation. In order to be rooted and grounded in the word of God, we must be anchored in the power and conviction of repentance. Before we can come to God we must repent and be justified of our sins.
Genuine repentance brings a turning away from ungodliness.
Once we have repented we can come boldly into the throne of God full of grace and truth. We will never corrupt the beauty of God's holiness in the place of eternal habitation that he has prepared. That is why there is a place called hell. A lot of people do not understand hell. The Bible does not give hell a geographical location.
