Please tell us what you mean by "believes in Jesus Christ." What does that mean to you? It may mean something completely different than what other believers believe.

If someone has not received Jesus Christ, being God's COMPLETED Faith (which is the work of God), they are no believer at all. Do you see the difference between DO (Christianity and everything else of this world)and DONE (God)?

Death is an enemy.

The real idea should be: "If one Really and Truly believes he is saved, he should patiently await the return of our Lord and be concerned for ideal acts until then.
You don't understand. We have already been saved and sanctified, in Jesus Christ, upon receiving it. Sin is to not know that.

lol, nice try!

God wanted to take me home when I was about 4, but I really really wanted to stay here, to pull as many people out as I could (which is really irrelevant, because that's His doing. Just like in truth, it was Him directly who reached me.) and I wanted to experience this place (which so often really sucks, but you know that). I'm just letting things be what they will and trying to learn from it.

We're all going to the lake of fire (that being our flesh, it's an untoward God generation). Everything is complete in Jesus. Satan's broken spirit realm will try to deceive us into thinking we each have something that will be eternal, but it's all going to burn.

What do you mean by "received Jesus Christ"? Please define your terms.

If you weren't there, you won't remember it. If you remember the late 1960's, you weren't there. And yes, that makes sense to those that were.

It's almost biblical in it's logic, now that I think of it.
