Remember this is not one of my jokes... and unfortunately I don't have a reference to who it has been written by.
The man fell overboard from his little boat and was thrashing around in the water when another pulled up. "Jump in," shouted the boater. "We'll save you." "No", cried the drowning man, "God will save me". The scene was repeated twice more before a helicopter finally arrived and hovered over him, and once again the man refused help on the same grounds...God would save him. The man drowned, and as he crossed the Pearly Gates he gazed into Jesus' eyes with obvious confusion. "I placed my faith in you and you let me drown" he complained. "Let you drown?", exclaimed Jesus. "I sent three boats and a helicopter!"
