Many people believe that by believing in the Lord Jesus their sins are absolved, that they are saved through their faith, and furthermore that once someone is saved they are saved forever, and once the Lord returns they can be raptured and can enter the kingdom of heaven.

What exactly is the relationship between being saved and entering the kingdom of heaven?
