And in exchange for your salvation you shall have salvation my friend! (or triple your salvation back) Just remember, while anyone who makes an offering is guaranteed eternal salvation, your 'seating' depends upon the generosity of your offering. Of course, offerings are like taxes, they are measured by percentages, so if some penniless starving African gives me 50% of his worldly possessions, which amounts to a nicely carved stick and an old goat, he would get a much nicer 'seat' than a millionaire who gives me $50,000, which is only 1% of his worldly possessions.
