Jesus...is the way to Heaven; there will only be born again Christians in Heaven. They are followers of Jesus.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
If you want to go to "Heaven" then you must go through Jesus to get there. If you are taking about "paradise." Then perhaps United Airlines, Hawaii just a flight away.
Salvation is a free gift to everyone. You will not seal you salvation through being a "good" person, by your works and or deeds. You only need to believe in Jesus as God's son. He died on the cross for you and I. Confess your sins to him, accept him into your heart...and your salvation will be sealed too.
Religion is man's way to try and reach God.
Relationship is God's way of reaching us, through Jesus Christ...He's seeking a relationship with you. He loves you even when you deny him and are still a sinner. Join me and be a new creation in Christ.
Grace to you and God Bless!

Well, the apostles had an idea. Here is a quote from one of their men. St. Ignatius of Antioch was a student of St John the apostles. He also traveled some with Sts Peter and Paul and was appointed Bishop of Antioch by St. Peter, himself. This is what they taught as quoted by him in his epistle to the Smyraeans:
"See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery (priests) as ye would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.

I personally have always, since childhood, believed there is more than one way to God. I am of the Christian faith, myself, but I'm not your typical Baptist. I believe what I believe very thoroughly, however, who am I to say a devout Hindu is going to hell? Just like there are different languages, I believe there are different paths to God. There is no way of knowing for a fact that any of us are right until we die, and though I do believe in spirits among us, I don't know of anyone who has ever had one tell them which religion is correct. As long as you sincerely believe in your faith, and it leads you in the right direction on a daily basis and causes you to be a morally upright person who cares for others and does the right thing, I can't see how anyone can say you are going to hell. Not only that but even under different religions are denominations. How many Baptists think Methodists are gonna burn in the fiery pits? So, if you can think that there can be a little gap in beliefs and practices, how could you not see that there could be a bigger gap...as long as a person has the fundamental element for eternity in heaven: a sincere love and devotion to God.

Bill241961 is quite right:
<< There are good and bad people in all religions and walks of life. You will be judged by what is in your heart, not by which group you belong to. >>
For people who are basically spiritual, they ascend to the Mid Realms of Spirit after they transition. This is where the Near Death Experiencers report seeing the Cities of Light, which are communities of like-minded individuals who have collectively created a home in The Light that reflects their culture and focus.
These Cities of Light in the Mid Realms of Spirit represent the various religious heavens, be they Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, New Age, Bahá'í, etc.

JESUS!! That is the only way! And yes there is a heaven it is definite.
John 14:6 Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, but by Me.
Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son. That whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life!
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

No 'group' goes to heaven. These people are selected and there are only 144,000 of them. There are conditions. Read revelation for details. read The Book of Acts for the activity of those who qualify.
