Who resides at your house?

The world today labels anyone who believes the Bible to be true as exclusionary. According to the Bible the presence or absence of salvation is determined by the presence or absence of the Holy Spirit of Christ, regardless of works, religion, or ritual. In short we are lost if we do not have the indwelling Spirit of God. Conversely we are assured in the passages below that we become regenerated Christians when the Holy Spirit o God takes up residence in our hearts. The Holy Spirit cannot take up residence in our hearts unless we first accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and indeed the savior of the entire world.
Christians are not exclusionary nor did we set up the rules. God unequivocally states that all of mankind is carnally minded and needs redemption and there is only one way to receive it and that is through His Son Jesus Christ. God sent His only Son to die on a rugged cross for our sins. God will exclude from His holy presence anyone who rejects this supreme offering of reconciliation. It is not exclusionary, because anyone can choose Jesus. We all have been given a free spirit concerning this subject. The Bible states that He stands at the door and knocks and anyone who will let Him in their heart will instantly have their sins and shortcomings forgiven and then they can enjoy everlasting fellowship with Him.

Does the Spirit of God live in your heart? Either the Bible is true or not. Do you believe it to be true? I do, with all of my being. I believe people will be included/excluded from paradise based upon whether or not the Holy Spirit of God is dwelling within their heart, or better whether they have accepted or rejected the only Son of God’s blood sacrifice for their souls. You can help widows and orphans, throw a dollar in the Salvation Army bucket, love your wife, not curse, drink, or smoke, be loved by children and respected by intelligent men and still end up in Hell without Jesus.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is
death, but to be spiritually minded
is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is
enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
So then those who are in the
flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but
in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of
God dwells in you. Now if anyone
does not have the Spirit of Christ,
he is not His.
And if Christ is in you, the body
is dead because of sin, but the Spirit
is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who
raised Jesus from the dead dwells in
you, He who raised Christ from the
dead will also give life to your mortal
bodies through His Spirit who
dwells in you.
