Dr. Abel Damina Responds to Donald Trump’s Statement: “I’m Not Sure I’m Going to Make Heaven”
By Passman Akpos
A recent remark by former U.S. President Donald J. Trump has sparked global conversations across faith and social media platforms. Speaking during a public appearance, Trump said, “I’m not sure I’m going to make heaven,” a statement that drew varied reactions from religious leaders and believers worldwide.
Among those who responded was Dr. Abel Damina, senior pastor of Power City International, known for his strong stance on the message of salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone.
In a widely shared message posted under the hashtags #AbelDamina #Explore #Salvation #ChristAlone #OnceSavedAlwaysSaved, Dr. Damina addressed Trump’s uncertainty, emphasizing the assurance of salvation for all who believe in Jesus Christ.
> “Eternal life is not a reward for good behavior; it’s a gift received through faith in Christ,” Dr. Damina said. “The question of making heaven has already been settled at the cross. Once a man is in Christ, he is saved—eternally. It’s not about how good you are; it’s about what Christ has done.”
The preacher’s remarks quickly trended across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, resonating with many Christians who share his “once saved, always saved” theology. Others, however, reignited debates about grace, repentance, and the assurance of salvation.
The discussion highlights how even high-profile figures, such as President Trump, can provoke deeper reflection on faith and eternity.
As Dr. Damina concluded in his message:
> “Heaven is not a destination you earn—it’s the believer’s inheritance in Christ. Salvation is not a probability; it’s a certainty in Him.”
