New Living Translation Chapter 18
Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” But the people were completely silent.
A man or woman that is wicked will never get into heaven, NEVER!
