Martyr=Heaven??
So I was thinking If my church was lucky enough to get bombed and I happened to die then I would be a martyr right? Would that guarantee me going to heaven even though i am filled with sin? I cannot imagine a crown of martyrdom in hell.
Thanks, Merry Christmas and I hope this does not happen to any church.

Any persecution for Christs' name guarantees entrance to heaven.
My dad was telling me how he has to suffer his entire life due to an illness and in the end receive no reward for his suffering (he was joking about it), whereas the Copts that were injured for Christs' name will be crowned in Heaven.
The Christians that were killed in 9/11 are considered martyrs. The athiests in that building are not.
