I think this is so true though one does inform the other.

That is very true. Who gets to go to heaven though?

Is it the 'better' people in your message or those who proclaim their faith but still behave poorly?

I would add a third option...It is those who believe and act on those beliefs.

Matthew 7:24-27
<sup class="versenum"> </sup>“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. <sup class="versenum"> </sup>And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. <sup class="versenum"> </sup>And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. <sup class="versenum"> </sup>And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."

James 1:19-27
<sup class="versenum">" </sup>Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; <sup class="versenum"> </sup>for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. <sup class="versenum"> </sup>Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.


<sup class="versenum"> </sup>But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. <sup class="versenum"> </sup>For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. <sup class="versenum"> </sup>For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. <sup class="versenum"> </sup>But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.


If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. <sup class="versenum"> </sup>Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."


James 2:20
^"But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?"
