I'm not sure if I will get to Heaven when I die. I am not perfect and have not been a very good Christian, if I may say so. But I have faith, though, and have done some good works as much as evil.
I think it's childish to believe in God just for the sake of going to heaven. What if God decided to remove heaven at stake for those who believe and follow His ways? Would those believers change their minds?
For the love of God--NOT for the love of going to heaven--live this life as if it's your last.

I don't think I will get to heaven. If the Word of God is true and I believe it to be true then I know that I am going to heaven. I have done what the Lord Jesus Christ told me to do. I have believe that He died for my sins and when He was buried He took my sins away and He rose again the third day for my justification. 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Who says that I will like to go to Heaven. Life in Heaven will be very bored and Eternal life will be the worst punishment. Sorry I really think that heaven and hell are places in Earth right now.

1 john 5:13 " I write these things...that you may know you have eternal life." The purpose of the Bible is to let us know we can have eternal life. Heaven is a free gift - not earned or deserved. "the gift of God is eternal life" rom 6:23, "for it is by grace that you were saved through faith - it is the gift of God, not of works, that none may boast." eph 2:8-9. It has to be for man is a sinner who can not save himself - "for all have sinner and fall short of the glory of God." rom 3:23. God is merciful and does not want to punish us , but is also just and must punish sin "he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished." ex 34:7b.This was solved by Jesus - who died on the cross, rose fromthe dead, paid the penalty for our sin, and purchased a place in heaven for us. This is a gift rec'd through saving faith - that is, believing in Jesus and trusting Him. "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.." Acts 16:31. If you trust in what Jesus already did, receive Him as Lord and Saviour, and repent of your sins, you, too, can know that you are going to heaven. If you like, pray a prayer like this - the words are not important - only the posture of your heart . "Dear God, thank you for loving me. I admit that i am a sinner. I believe that Jesus died to free me from that sin. I commit my life to you today."
Read your Bible - I recommend getting a "1 year Bible" - you will read the entire Bible in only 15 minutes each day! Also, find a good Bible teaching church - meet regularly! Good luck, and hope to see you there!

I don't just think I will be in heaven I know for a fact that I will be in heaven. And this is why,
1Jo 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Hi! "Heaven" and "hell" are only states of being, not actual places."Heaven" is when a soul is merged back to the ONE essence of unconditional LOVE/GOD and only bliss is felt. Meanwhile "hell" is the state of being of surrendering yourself to the erroneous belief that you are a separate soul-separate from GOD/LOVE and ALL that is.Some souls choose that only out of fear.They are held back by their own fear and judgment (only humans judge, never GOD because GOD is THE very essence of unconditional LOVE).I am not one of the ones who choose fear over LOVE, so I will reunite with ALL, when I leave my body for good.

I hope and pray I will but I don't assume that I will. I can only trust in God's Divine Mercy that He will call me home to Him one day and I trust in His promise of everlasting life with Him for those who truly love Him, have sincere repentance and sorrow for all my sins. I trust in Him because only He knows my heart.

I don't because I don't believe that there is a heaven.

Because my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Jesus bought and paid for me with His blood on Calvary.
