Im not sure what I would say. I have always been under the impression that there isnt anything that I could say for God to allow me into heaven. I was taught that my actions in life would be what would determine if I would go to heaven so I do not think that God is going to give me a chance to argue my reasoning against hes at the entrance of the Pearly Gates

There is something that is called free will.  \n\nYou do not get to do whatever you want and go to heaven . . . . . it is said Jesus will not return to the earth until every person has heard the truth.  You have people who are put in your path in life and they were maybe only there to tell you . . . Jesus loves you and accept him and you will go to heaven.\n\nThat seed was planted, you now have the knowledge and decide to listen or not.\n\nSame with Christians, they can decide to listen to God and follow him or not.  There are Christians that will go to hell.  \n\nThe difference is they know that God is a loving and forgiving God and as long as you are not intentionally sinning and saying you are covered by the spirit, you can and anyone can ask for forgiveness at any time.\n\nBy the way there are different places in heaven . . . . . everyone is not going to the same "level" if you will.

if you have been saved(accepted Jesus as your Savior) you will go to heaven..but if you haven't you will go to hell ..but not yet because nobody goes anyway until the day of judgment! it is in Revelations if you want to check!

the Bible says that doing good isn't the criterion for getting to heaven. Perhaps anyone who desires and strives for absolute purity could make it. But the biblical criterion is recognising that, perhaps despite the fact that we may think we've lived good lives, we're still sinners in need of a saviour, and so we should accept that Jesus Christ allowed himself to be killed on a cross so he could take the punishment for our sins, and we should turn away from everything we know to be wrongdoing. I personally am thankful that getting to heaven doesn't depend on how good we've been. If the criterion for getting to heaven was being good, then people who made a sincere commitment to Christ not long before they died after having lived immoral lives would find themselves going to hell despite their latter commitment to follow him and turn away from their sins, because the number of years they had spent sinning would far exceed the amount of time they later spent doing good. Or if they'd done one thing that was very bad but then spent years regretting it, it might still outweigh all the good they'd done and be enough to get them sent to hell, particularly since no one can be entirely good and everyone does things that aren't good throughout their lives. But the love of Jesus extends to people who've spent years doing evil things, if they'll only sincerely accept him and turn away from them. \n\nHowever, the Bible does say that there will be a time when it will be too late. In several places it says that on Judgment Day people will be judged according to their actions, and those who have done good deeds will go to heaven, while people who have rejected Christ and done evil will go to hell. It also says that people who have relied on their own efforts to get to heaven and yet have rejected Christ will not get there. And it warns people who think they can rely on their own goodness to get to heaven while not admitting how sinful they really are that in fact they are not pleasing God.

Depends on what you believe.  Under christianity, NO.\n\nBUT nothing says they have the answer.  I'd say you can get into heaven by doing that  - YES.\n(there's just no guarantee it's the same one they are thinking of - we'll all find out one day - one way or another.)

My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die? \n\nGod says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.” \n\nIn the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How? \n\nFirst, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). \n\nBecause you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell. \n\n“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). \n\nBut God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). \n\nJesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22). \n\n“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). \n\nAlthough we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie. \n\nMy friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross. \n\nIn Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ ” \n\nSimply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior. \n\n“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12). \n\n“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). \n\nWhosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved. \n\nSurely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer. \n\nIn Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.” \n\nJust take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it! \n\nGod’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith. \n\nYou say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today. \n\nIf His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understa

I know it is long, but the answer you seek is below:\n\n\nWhat If The Lord Were To Come Right Now? Would You Know For Sure, Without A Doubt, That You Would Go Heaven? \n\nMay I tell you my story?\n\nMy story relates to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.\n\nWho is this Jesus?\n\nWe can know how to have eternal life!\n1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, [even] unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God. \n\nThere was a time in my life when I was confused, because of all the different churches out there. Which one do I believe, because they all teach different things?\n\nJust because I was raised by my parents to believe certain things does that make everyone else wrong? No.\nI got to thinking in life there are life and death statements.\nFor instance let's say your house catches on fire. Someone comes up in the middle of the night and raps on the window and shouts "get out of the house, the house is on fire." Well you know you wouldn't need an interpreter or call a few friends over and ask them what it means when someone says your house is on fire. No you wouldn't do that it is so clear what you should do. You understand you simply have to act on it and get out of the house. Well I got to thinking the Bible talks about there being an everlasting punishment. I believe this is Gods word. I thought God must have some life and death statements. Like get out of the house the house is on fire. Does God have some statements like believe this and you will live do this and you will die? He does. \n\nThen, what has been written? \n\nJohn 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.\n\nWell I know what that means. Unless I believe that Jesus is who he says he is I will die in my sins.\n\nIsn't this a life and death statement?\n\nThen who is this Jesus? \n\nLet's go exploring. \n\nMatthew 16:13-17 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? 14 And they said, Some [say] John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. \n\nWhose son is he? "God's son"\nIn other words Jesus says you are right.\n\nWell you know I got to thinking what does it mean to believe he is the son of God? So I kept reading.\n\nIs he being the son of God all we must believe concerning His identity? \n\nJohn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.\n\nAnd I kept reading.   \n\nJust being the son of God...Is God. Notice here: \nJohn 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. \n\nWell here Jesus is claiming to be the son of God and God at the same time. \n\nAll Jesus is saying is that he is the same as his parents. Jesus mother was human and father was God. That makes him 100% human and 100% God.\n\nIs that important that Jesus is a 100% God and man? Remember John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.\n\nWhen Jesus came to earth, did he leave his Godhead in Heaven? \n\nColossians 2:9 for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, \nNotice that Jesus is 100% man and 100% God.  \n\nHere God the Father calls his own son God.\n\nHebrews 1:1, 8 God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, \n8 but of the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightne

NO ONE ON THIS EARTH IS GUARANTEED TO GO TO HEAVEN JUST BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST!\n\nI can only pray that Jesus judges me worthy...\n\nI know that I can only get to heaven through Jesus. Also, it is not just by this faith in Jesus, nor just the Grace of God, nor just the works that I do. It is a combination of many things. \n\nWe receive God's saving and sanctifying grace in many ways, and Christ Himself, into our souls when we are baptized. Yet they also know that Christ Himself has established certain conditions for entry into eternal happiness in Heaven.\n\n"Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever."" (John 6:53-58)\n\nWe will be judged by this as well, so be warned...\n\n"Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself." (1 Cor. 11:27-29).\n\nWe will also be judged by our faith, but not by this alone, we will also be judged by the works that we do (Justification by faith alone is a Protestant doctrine; it was unheard of in the Christian community before the sixteenth century.)...\n\nIf St. Paul meant that faith ruled out the necessity of good works for salvation, he would not have written: \n\n". . . and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." (1 Cor. 13:2). \n\nIf faith ruled out the necessity of good works for salvation, the Apostle James would not have written: \n\n"Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only'? . . . For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead." (James 2:24-26). \n\nIf faith ruled out the necessity of good works for salvation, the Apostle Peter would not have written: \n\n"Therefore, brothers, be all the more eager to make your call and election firm, for, in doing so, you will never stumble. For, in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you." (2 Peter 1:10-11).\n\nIf faith was the only necessity for salvation, the Apostle James would not have written: \n\n"If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, his religion is vain. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world." (James 1:26-27)\n\nChrist Himself stated:\n\n"For the Son of man . . . will render to every man according to his works." (Matt. 16:27). \n\n"‘Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven’" (Matt. 7:21). \n\nI need my faith also...\n\n"Who were those who rebelled when they heard? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt under Moses? With whom was he "provoked for forty years"? Was it not those who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the desert? And to whom did he "swear that they should not enter into his rest," if not to those who were disobedient? And we see that they could not enter for lack of faith."(Hebrews 3:16-19)\n\nW

I am saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. I know now without a doubt that I am going to Heaven. I hope a lot of people know. If you don't, I can tell you how.

true.  BUt as a Christian I will have to say the cliche answer... FAITH.  You have to have faith in what you do and what you live for.  And i don't neccessary live for heaven, I live for Jesus.  And i don't believe that he will put me in the wrong place.  So its a matter of faith.

In the bible it says its harder for a rich man to enter heaven than a poor man.  But i think if you are faithful to the Lord he will provide you with the desires of your heart.  God Bless!!

My personal opinion is that in order to get to Heaven one must believe that Jesus was the Son of God who came to earth, was crucified upon the cross, buried, rose to claim victory over death on the third day and ascended into Heaven.  It is through this faith that I am given grace and pardoned of my sins so that I may live eternally with my Savior and God.

When you die, you'll either go to Heaven or Hell, but that is up to you, you either have Jesus in your life or you don't if you don't you go to Hell if you do you go to Heaven but you have to mean it with all your heart to have Jesus in your life, to go to Heaven.
