To be exalted, one must love the lord and to believe in him, there is no other requirement to enter the kingdom of God, See Ephesian 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith and not of yourselves., it is a gift from God. God created us on earth not in heaven according to Genesis 1:28.

[@brendaconnelly1464]

At one time, I also believed that our existence began at birth. I have come to know that before we are born, we existed as Heavenly Father's spirit children. Yes, we existed in what is known as the pre-existence. We jumped for joy at the opportunity we had to come to Earth and receive a physical body and to learn to have faith in our Heavenly Father. We had to pass through a veil of forgetfulness when we came to Earth. We don't remember our lives before Earth. It wouldn't be much of a test if we remembered everything. Our Earfh life is our time to learn to have faith, to go through trials and to see if we will be obedient to God. The reason I know all this is true is because the Holy Spirit has testified to me that it is true. God loves all His children and wants them to know truth. The devil is the father of lies and wants to deceive and destroy God's children. He wants us to be miserable like he is. If you sincerely want to know the truth, you can do what James 1:5 says and ask in prayer. The Holy Ghost will manifest the truth to you. You will have af feeling of peace.
