The Amish Believe They Are the Only Ones Going to Heaven: True or False?
The Amish Believe They Are the Only Ones Going to Heaven: True or False?
False.
To do so would be prideful, which goes against one of their most basic values. The Amish are respectful of other Christian denominations. As one Amish man said, the Bible is meant to be a mirror, not a spotlight. Better to pay attention to their own walk with God than presume to judge others.
If I asked an Amish person how to get to heaven, what would his answer be?
That person would likely refer to God’s will in the matter and then perhaps describe the need to have a personal relationship with Christ. He might also quote an applicable Scripture, such as, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).
