Can We Fall Out of Heaven Into Hell?

Question:

As a child I was taught that a person who goes to heaven could fall back into hell because of free will to sin even when in heaven. Is this true?

Answer:

No. A person’s eternal destination is determined at death. While it is true that there is free will in heaven, that free will won’t allow a saint to do what will then be impossible for him to do (e.g., reject God).

We’re a nonprofit —no ads, just truth. Will you help us stay that way?
