At first glance it appears to agree with the biblical account given in Exodus 13 and 14. However, there are important differences.

Am I going to heaven?
There are perhaps more than 2 responses to this question.
There are those who don't think that they are going to heaven. Amongst these are they that might think that there's no way that they could ever expect to be in heaven. They may be heavily burdened by a life of sin; they may feel that their sins are great and inexcusable and there's no way God could admit them to heaven. If any of my readers fall into this category, then I'm delighted that you've arrived at this site. Your sins may indeed be great and there is certainly no way that you could ever fit yourself for God's presence but please allow me to direct you to the section on Salvation with the blessed assurance that there is a Saviour, mighty to save to the uttermost, all who come unto Him.

Salvation
Savlation is provided by the Grace of God as a free gift.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9)
We can do absolutely nothing to save ourselves. We can only believe God and accept our place as a guilty sinner and receive the gift of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sin
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12)
The Word of God teaches us that we are born in sin and shapen in iniquity. From the moment we are born into this world, we are not the children of God but we are, by nature, the children of wrath.
