Hi! I'm the only Christian in my family, which is really hard. And I wanted to know if you can bring people from hell to heaven? It heaven is paradise, then what is paradise with out my family? Say the rapture happens right this second, I'll most likely be the only one out of my mom, dad and 2 sisters to be in heaven. Is it possible to bring family from 'down there' to 'up there'?
Inviting people to heaven?

Hi this question is a hard one to answere in many ways but in simple terms if Jesus came back today to claim His people then only His people will go. Hell is eternal once there you never leave. our life time is our chance to make a choice for or against God. either at the coing of Christ or death whichever comes first that is it your choice is final.
hell is eternal death that is why John refers to it in Revelation as the second death. but noone comes back from this because there are no other chances this life is our time. God knows the heart as long as they are alive they have a choice to make. continue to pray for them and be a christian example, let the Holy Spirit work on them.
I know this is probably not what you wanted to hear but truth is truth
Blessings still time GOd be with you and your family.

Sister the time when you can bring them to heaven from hell is NOW.
Share them the Gospel, the Good news that our Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ.
if you have done that, just continue in prayer...
Remember that you can never save them, only God can ..so be persistent in prayer that their hearts may be open.
And also serve as a very good testimony to them... that way Jesus' light will shine through you.
Many young Christians have this problem and its not easy because we love our family and want them to be saved too.
But as long as we did our part by letting the Holy Spirit use us.
The last thing we can do is trust God, trust timing, trust his will and trust his love.

FunKay, there are two things for you to do. First, pray regularly for their salvation. It is God's will that they be saved and if you pray without allowing doubt to take over, it will be done (See Mk 11:20-23) Be prepared to see the process through to completion, however. It will take time.
Secondly, you must seek to become Christlike in your dealings with family and others. Participating in small group Bible studies and participating in outreach efforts is essential because outreach is a key way to show God's love.
In the first century, believers from house churches took the gospel message to the Roman empire and, by showing Christ's love to the people through their lifestyles, began to melt down the iron clad class system of Roman society. That's how people are drawn to Christ today - by exposure to His love as evidenced by the behavior of true Christ followers.
