I personally believe that everything that exists exists in 3 dimensions, because everything that exists is made from God's own self - which is three. This is something that I really don't understand yet in the way that I want to (have not seen God yet, etc.), but I believe it because I feel it inside. (My faith is more from intuition and feeling/sensing things than from studying, and I believe that God made me this way on purpose.) I also believe that humans were made in the complete "image" of God - but I'm talking about humans in their spiritual state, in perfect glory - this has absolutely nothing to do with the body of "dust." The body of dust (much like a "toadstool" or mushroom) does not live for eternity as the spiritual body does. The body of dust (and everything that was created out of dust) was made by God for a temporary purpose only and is bound to the spiritual body from the time of conception until God separates it from the spiritual body (at the time of "death"). We are all living with our permanent spiritual bodies now, here on this earth, but we can't see them yet because God has placed a veil over our eyes (for a specific purpose). Sometimes God "opens" people's eyes and temporarily allows them to see things that already exist all around us but that we usually cannot see, while we are living with our bodies of dust. This is when people see "ghosts," etc. I have never seen one nor do I want to, but I certainly believe that it is real. The reason that God normally does not allow us to see these things (including our own spiritual bodies) is because he wants us to live by faith.

About being made in the image of God - I believe that the soul is the "seed" of each human - the part of us that was made in the image of Abba God (father God), and is in many ways like the trunk of a tree - the wood part which is used for paper. This part of us which is our true selves exists in heaven before we are conceived on this earth. At the time of conception the body is "born"- kind of like when a seed of a plant begins to grow. As the body grows, the mind grows with it. The subconscious mind is wrapped around the soul and the conscious mind is wrapped around the subconscious mind, and the body extends from the conscious mind. (conscious mind controls action.) Prayer for the most part comes from the subconscious mind - this is called, "praying in spirit." The third part of the human is the spirit, which is a completely separate being from the soul. He is the little child within each of us and is what makes little children so adorable. The human spirit is also joined together with the soul (seed) at the time of conception and he is also our "conscience." He was made in the image of the "Word" of God, which is Jesus, and he carries the law of the spirit inside of his being. When we walk in the spirit, we are following our conscience and the Holy Spirit (power of God) works together with us and our prayers become very powerful and actions are always in step with God's will. The angels (which we cannot see) were made in the image of the Holy Spirit, which is the power of God. They are like stars, fire, bolts of lightening. That's the way they work. And they work through our prayers, through the commands that we give them, usually without knowing what we are doing - that we are praying from our subconscious minds. The angels of God work through prayers that are in unity with our conscience and the fallen/dark angels work with the prayers that are purely from pride and against that person's conscience. Continuing to pray this way and never repenting ends up landing those persons in hell - by their own words. In the end their own prayers against others are turned back (back-fired) onto their own selves, something that they do not see coming while they are living on the earth.

As for whether or not souls that didn't have a chance to grow up go to heaven, hell, or whatever, I personally believe that there is someplace (in heaven??) where God takes them where they go through the same testing and growing up that we went through on this earth. There is no way that they could go to hell without actually living in sin by their own will. And it doesn't make any sense to think that they would actually just cease to exist when their biology is separated from their spiritual bodies (small as they may be) and souls.

So, being a Christian means to follow your own conscience because the human spirit has anointing from God like Jesus/Christ (being a Christian means to follow Christ), and really doesn't have anything to do with following the written code. Definitely many people who think they are Christians and pretend to be Christians are liars - lying from deep inside of their hearts. God does not hear their prayers. God purposely allows them to continue in their presumption that they are saved for the duration of their lifetime on the earth. It is not until after they leave the body of dust behind that God opens their eyes and they find out that they were rejected from heaven.
