    Who here believes in Heaven?
    Who do you think will go to heaven (as far as religion)?

    As a none-beliver, I believe no-one will go to heaven.

    As a believer, I would only believe those of my faith would go to heaven.

    Everyone will die, though. That is a fact!

    How sad to think that nobody would ever get eternal life in Heaven :(

    I believe in "Heaven" of sorts... first a spirit world where there's paradise/prison - paradise for the righteous, prison for the lost or more not so righteous souls...

    Then a resurrection/judgement/then we go to one of 3 kingdoms ... or outer darkness (Hell).

    Heaven is being in the presence of our lord. We will get there through belief. Those who are Christians on this earth may, and that is MAY, have an upper hand, because we are not a Christian on the outside but on the inside, and God is not fooled:

    Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? v23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

    But it is NOT true that anyone who is not a Christian cannot go to heaven, for everyone will be judged according to the contents of their hearts, not just Christians:

    Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: v 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) v16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.


    It is another fundamental difference between Christians and Muslims... it's called "tolerance." For we do NOT believe only we shall go to heaven. We DO believe that Jesus alone saves, but nowhere does the Bible say that Jesus cannot save whomever He will.

    IN Christ
