who will go to Heaven?why?

Question

Followers of what faith,do u believe will go to heaven.Muslims,Christians, Jews, Hindus,Buddists,Sikhs.........
and why u think so?

Answer 1

Gosh, I sure hope I get to go, because from the way it is described in evey book of faith, It sounds...well... Heavenly. Besides that, I would just LOVE to see my Mother again.

Answer 2

First, 144,000 will be immediately taken from the earth and go directly to heaven. Those are from the 12 tribes of Israel. That is a fact.

Next, it will be the ones who followed and kept to the laws God set down to each of us. If we are saved and believe in the one true God then we will be there at God's right hand side.

We must remember in the book of James, we have to follow what God has set before us as well as have unwaivering faith and good works that Glorify God everyday.

Here is something, the pathway to heaven is narrow and very few will make it in, but the pathway to hell is wide and the gates are wide open to accept anyone who wants to go in.

So, I would read the book of James and find out the way for a christian to live and build your personal relationship with God now and not later.

Answer 3

Islam, Christianity and the Jewish faith all promise their followers the rewards in heaven or punishment in hell.

Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism focus on the cycle of rebirths and claim that deed done in this lifetime would result in next one.
And nirvana is a state which is a freedom from this cycle and a reaching of oneness with existence, or God.

However, both concepts seem to be playing on our greed and fear. Like how we train our pets. A biscuit for when it behaves appropriately and a cane for when it doesn't.

In my opinion, if we just focus a little more on spreading happiness, awareness and compassion during our lifetimes, rather than wondering what happens next. We could make this world -paradise!

Answer 4

Seems many have the thought that works will get us there. It is so clear in the Bible that works will not get us there. Our specific religion has nothing to do with our eternal destination. Ephesians 2:8&9 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast'. John 14:6 tells us '...no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.' Only those that put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ will be allowed to enter into the Kingdom of God. We must humble ourselves in prayer and ask Christ for forgiveness of our sins. Romans 3:23 tells us that 'All have sinned and come short of the glory of God'. The Bible also tell us that whosever calles upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. The books of Romans & John are two great books that will help you understand if you are not already saved. God is not interested in our religion. What He truly wants is a relationship.

Answer 5

Those who accept Jesus Christ as their savior will go to heaven.

John 3:17-21 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in

There will be Jews there because they are God's chosen people.

Answer 6

The devil will probably end up going to heaven. Why? Because like most christians who go day in and day out behaving like the devil, he'll ask for forgiveness at the last minute and get in.
I for one am not going there...who wants to be with all those awful hypocritical preachy christians.

Answer 7

My church doesn't believe in going to heaven!
Heaven is a misled idea!
ROM.10:6 = "BUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH SPEAKETH ON THIS WISE, SAY NOT IN THINE HEART, WHO SHALL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN? (THAT IS, TO BRING CHRIST DOWN FROM ABOVE).

Actually when people die; they're asleep in the grave. Death is called a sleep (Matt.9:24; John 11:11; 1Cor.15:51; 1Thess.5:10).
The spirit goes back to God that gave it!(Eccles.12:7; Psalm 146:4)

The Bible describes three hells.

SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL
The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.
GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.
PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.
ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,
MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY

GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL
The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.
MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE
MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL

TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL
This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.
2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.


There's 3 heavens.

First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)

Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)

Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)

THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

Many(Matt.7:13) won't be in the kingdom of God because of SIN; they haven't did God's Will. (Matt.7:21-23)

The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =
DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."
REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."

The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =
AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---
ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"
ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"
JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4
WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30
BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8
MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10

Answer 8

It isn't about the good works you do in life, you can do a lot and still not be in Heaven. The Bible tell you that. It is whom I believe, lives the way He wants you to, who has a personal relationship with Him, listens to what He wants you to do. It definately not one religion, but definately you have to be Christian.

Answer 9

There are a group of invited non-Christians who will be allowed to go... Check out the end of Matthew 25... Had to remind a recently ordained co-worker of this...

Answer 10

Adam messed-up his Spirit by eating of the Tree (HIGH TREASON) which disconnected Adam from GOD (Adam changed God's from the Father to satan). Adam passed this messed-up disconnected Spirit to EVERY BODY ELSE. Through JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOUR, you get Born-Again (Spirit Recreated) and hooked-back-up to the FATHER (GOD ALMIGHTY). If you don't get SAVED (Spiritman Recreated) befor you leave EARTH for GOOD, you cannot go to HEAVEN. Hope this helps.
