Heaven's Gates, Hell's Flames
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heaven's Gates, Hell's Flames is a touring evangelistic drama that has been performed worldwide. The tagline on the official website asks, "Where will you be when reality strikes?".
It is based on an evangelical interpretation of the Gospel, and presents the message that one must believe in Jesus in order to be saved and go to Heaven, or face eternal punishment in Hell.
The play takes the form of a series of skits in which various characters are unexpectedly killed, and find out whether they are destined for heaven or hell. If they have refused to be born again, they are sent into Hell, represented by infra-red lights and a literal Satan. If they have "received Jesus", they are welcomed into Heaven, represented by a white-robed Jesus, dazzling white lights and a chorus of angels.
At the end of the play, a preacher will ask the audience to make a decision to be "born again" based on what they have seen.
The play is performed by local churches, directed by a permanent team (usually a family) from Reality Outreach Ministries, the organization that created the production.
Based out of St Catharines, ON, Canada.
