Can a Christian go to Heaven if he or she does not pay tithe?
43 Now, that’s one that I could not answer, scripturally.
44 Now, this “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,” if the minister is sincere, just let–let us know, you see, we’d be glad...Brother Neville and myself, or Brother Beeler, or Brother Collins, or any of these ministers here who are ordained to this ministry, and so forth, can–can do so.
Now, but now: Does a Christian not get to Heaven because they do not pay tithe?
45 I–I could not say “yes” or “no” to that. But I do believe that every Christian is obligated to pay tithings because it is a commandment of the Lord. “And blessed is...are they that do all His commandments, that they might have a right to enter into the Life, the Tree of Life.” Now, I do believe that tithe-paying is essential to a Christian experience. For I’ll get to that in another question in a few moments, I know there’s another one in here pertaining to that.
