What do you believe about the afterlife?

I must be careful how I word things, as to not offend either side. but, I will not stradel the fence either. I love God, and I believe in Heaven, and his Angels. I believe there is a higher power, my believeing it is God. Jesus is His son, and he died on the cross on Calvary, so save us from all of our sins. Yet we are to ask for His forgiveness for our sins, and believe in our hearts that he rose again on the 3rd day. I believe children, before they are taught right and wrong to each childs extent, not knowing the fullness of sin, as we know sin, will automatically be taken to heaven. We are accountable, and know when we sin. Sometimes I feel we sin and don't really realize this. Not saying that we can play ignorant, and say, "Oh, I didn't know." When in fact we did. And boom there is a lie, a sin. A preacher explained it to me like this. If we have to question, Is this a sin? Or is that a sin? We could go on for hours with different yes and no's of sin. However, I feel that if we have to ask then in a sense of a way we inwardly already know its a sin, but don't want to admit it. My ex. dancing. No I don't think dancing is a sin. This was always my question to many preachers. Not trying to get an uproar, just merely seeking an answer. I looked at it fianlly like this: Dancing can be looked at in 2 different ways:1 "They were dancing and leaping and praiseing God. #2 If you are dancing to express you body in a desirable way, (sexually, actractively) then you aren't sinning yet, but it is what this could possibly lead up to =sin. If one is not careful.
Do I think there is an afterlife, you bet. To me its Heaven. Streets of Gold, Pearly Gates. I feel as lonfg as we serve our LORD Jesus Christ, and keep him in our hearts as our Savior(Saviour) ANd believe he died and rose again, thenwe will be in God's hand s and his care, therefore we should fear nothing, He is powerful, And the Almighty God, With God, nothing is impossible. Do I believe our animals will be in Heaven, you bet. He thought enough of the animals to save them on the Ark with Noah, why should we not believe that our beloved pets would not be there. He takes care of the birds (Sparrow), and the flowers in the fields, then he shall surely take care of us.
The end of life scares me some, because I am still studying, however, I finally decided to quit worying about it, because Jesus loves me, and I believe in Him.


Sorry I didn't mean to jump up and take over. I am a very strong christian, and I do my best to stand firm in Jesus.
