so since Jesus died for everyone sins. that's mean good people are equal to bad people.
so if you believe in Jesus it will make no different, everyone will be in heaven. everyone is happy and everyone is fine! it's very nice isn't ?

I don't care what happens to be when I die. Life ends, PERIOD. Therefore, I don't believe in Jesus and don't really care. He's as important as Michaelangelo, but I don't need to worship his azz.

There are no bad Christians. If you believe that Jesus Christ died, rose from the dead and assended into heaven and is coming back for us, then you are a Christian and will go to heaven. As the Spirit of God works in us we change and become better acting people., but we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. Know that our sin was wahed away at the cross. If we repent (change our life style) as well as ask forgiveness then we shall go to heaven for eternity. May God's blessing be up0on you Amen.

Just need an adjustment in the way you are thinking about christianity. Because of sin, God sent his son to take the penalty for the whole world. But just like your receiving a present, but not opening it, some people believe that Jesus was God's son but never choose him as their saviour. We must receive the gift of salvation from our whole hearts, in love with Him. Otherwise we are just religious. Only the true believers will go to heaven.

There are no 'good' people. The only good that is any of us is the God who lives in us.
All sinners and sin is equal, there are no big sins, no little sins, just sins, and we all sin.
Salvation is by Gods grace and will alone, and is equally available to Christian and muslim alike.
The primary difference between real Christians and everyone else, including muslims, is Christians have access to a greater peace in this world than anyone else.
This I believe;

According to general Christian doctrine, Jesus paid the price for all sin. What his followers claim is totally irrelevant, either he paid the price, or he did not.
If he did, it covered all sin and repentance is unnecessary because repenting would mean he did not pay for sin.
Having said that, the bible is nonsense and not to be taken literally or as anything other than what it is, a book of mythology and fairy tales.

If you believe in Jesus it means you place your trust and confidence in him.
Heaven is a separate issue.
No man has ascended to heaven except the Son of man (John 3:13).
It is man's tradition that insists that it's okay for humans to invade heaven.

It's a lot more complicated then that. Jesus didn't die to give people a free ride when they commit sins he died so when people commit sins if they are sorry they can be forgiven. If they never repent then they don't go to heaven.

Although it says 'not to judge'..in my opinion and to answer your question..the difference between 'good' christian or 'bad' christian, depends not on believing in Jesus..but how the behavior of the christian that makes him 'good' or 'bad'. Not that he believes in Jesus or not. It goes without saying: we are like children..we follow the rules that we have been taught and live accordingly.

Yes it is nice.That's why it is called good news.
You have however made a number of mistakes (as you often do) on the nature of the Christian faith. However as you don't really care I can't be bothered to point them out to you.
