AC 1102 - "To Dwell in the Tents of Shem"; AC 1112 - Those Who Have Been in the Goods and Truths of Faith

AC 1102 [3]

When a man feels or perceives in himself
that he has good thoughts concerning the Lord,
and that he has good thoughts concerning the neighbor,
and desires to perform kind offices for him,
not for the sake of any gain or honor for himself;
and when he feels that he has pity for anyone who is in trouble,
and still more for one
who is in error in respect to the doctrine of faith,
then he may know that he dwells in the tents of Shem,
that is, that he has internal things in him
through which the Lord is working.


AC 1112

Those . . . who have been in the goods and truths of faith,
and have gained therefrom a conscience and a life of charity,
are taken up by the Lord into heaven immediately after death.
