Well, we have to start small. Maybe they should add it to the list of censored words? Then nobody could say ****** anymore.

Where is the concern? : ) just to give the chance to clarify themselves. Though this thread does seem like its from curiosity it can also be a form of gossip.

I'm asking this because you definitely get all sorts in a Christian community here on Earth and although they may all be devout in their own ways, there are plenty whom you definitely wouldn't want to spend eternity stuck in the same heaven with. So will it be a case of 'there are many mansions in my father's house', with different types of 'sincere' Christian existing in different heavens? Or will we all be together in the same heaven, creepy and not-so-creepy? Or will the creepies be deemed to have worked against God in their lifetimes by misguidedly repelling people from Christianity?
We are all sinners and none of us qualifies for a place in heaven. Jesus died and rose from the dead so we can enter heaven. Our place there is a free gift from God, not something we deserve.

When a person receives eternal life God begins working on him to transform him to the kind of person who will fit in heaven. While we are in this life none of us has been completely transformed, so we might seem creepy to others. Also, there are some people who think they are Christians when they are not.

When we reach heaven the transformation process will be complete, so other Christians will not seem creepy to us and we will not seem creepy to them.
