A man will go either to heaven or hell based on what he believes
You mean based upon election by God, and Christ's atonement and propitiation of his sin. Granted, that brings about proper theology in many areas, however there will be baptists in heaven even though their theology is skewed in some areas. In short, to claim that one goes to heaven based upon his belief is unbiblical, and scary ground to tread on. It is the finished work of Christ alone that merits salvation of the Church.
Of course Rg, what a man believes in the Christian context presupposes our election in Christ along with the person and work of Christ on the cross, as well as His resurrection, ascension and intercessory ministry at the Right hand of the Father in Heaven, but this is Facebook and brevity is the soul of wit :)
Sorry for the mis-understanding. I agree completely, the only reason I said anything is because I have heard several Arminians say things to the same effect, but mean something entirely different.
A Calvinist, an Arminian and a Christian Scientist were all involved in a car crash and died in the accident. When they looked around they saw flames and realized they were in hell. The Calvinist said, "I must have never had it." The Arminian said, "I had it but I lost it." and the Christian Scientist said, "It's not even hot here."
