christee106 - good people don't go to heaven any more than buddhists, bad people, moms, dads, or you and me -the only people who go to heaven are those who accept that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, who lives in heaven - that God says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. That he sent Jesus Christ as the redeemer for that sin, which the wages were a bloody death of sacrifice, that Jesus paid that death, rose again and reigns at the right hand of the Father. He did it because he first loved us. We have to accept that personal relationship with Jesus Christ that makes us Christians, all our works in the world mean nothings, all our goodness means nothing, if we do them outside of our love and our being loved in a personal relationship based on our acceptance of him as the only begotten son of God as our Savior. He made it so simple, but we make it so hard with our stubborness, or with our work eithics, or with all our religions.

There is only one "God" if that's the name you want to use. God is the genderless, ominipotent, all-loving energy source which is life. God does not differentiate between us or the religion we have chosen or been indoctrinated with.
Everyone is on a different path to the same end. We are spiritual beings here to experience a human incarnation for the evolution of our soul.
At the end or "death" of this physical incarnation we will return to the source creator from which we originated as non-physical spirits. And then, mad as it seems, we will make the decision as to whether or not we want to return! Either in another form or to live the same life over again! Deja vu is a result of our living out the same life repeatedly.

I wouldn't see why not, but the goal of Buddhists is to reach Nirvana (a state of nothingness), and Heaven would not be the right place for them. But perhaps Heaven IS Nirvana.

I hope so, but I dont believe there is a Christian God or a Buhhists God or whatever, I believe they are the same and that religions are for people not God.

no one can enter Heaven unless born again by the Spirit and water, said Jesus. this really happens if you ask. i did once after all my life of not beleiving in God. He answered an i only prayed once. i was 19, 1 1/2 years ago. ask Jesus into your life and be born again by the power of the Gospel (an actual real life event in your real life) if you do this in a prayer sincerely God will answer you!

No such thing/place. And I doubt I will see Jesus when I die, neither will good people who have never heard of him. Buddists dont believe in a christian heaven and god doesnt sit there judging like a door guy at a nightclub.......get Real!

Why would he if they've rejected him? Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth and the light, no one comes to the Father accept through me." (note: he didn't say "I am A way")
Our God is a just God, and because he's perfect, sin cannot exist in his presence

well, they wouldn't care if he allowed them in or not, as they don't believe in a soul that can go to heaven, they believe that they will be reborn and start another cycle of death ( unless they are enlightened), so they will never get a chance to try and enter heaven.

If they come to believe in Jesus Christ and what he did for them on the Cross(when he died for everyones sins) and that they believe he rose again after he died. If also, they call upon the name of the Lord, (and repent of their buddism and sins), then they will be saved. (That is in a senser pray where you ament your a sinner, and you understand that your undeserving, and believe that Christ took your place and died for your sins. And you should thank God for it as well. Then you are any buddist can come to believe.)
Romans 10:13:
For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”[a]
