Good doesnt bring you to heaven,and christians are no better then others.The only thing that brings you to heaven is Gods love. If you accept it, it will have an everlasting effect for the good on your life. Both here and after you die. If you refuse to accept Gods love (shown in He being Jesus and giving His life for us) then how can you expect to get into His house at all? I mean lets face it, if someone fights you all the time or even hates you whats the use of letting him/her in? You would wanne protect the peace in your own house, if not for you then for your kids at lease.
(God has children he wants to protect in the future from evil)
Same is true for God.

Soul has 3 faculties, one of it will record all your actions. Although you have done good, you still can't go to heaven bcos this play is not end yet. As long as the world exist the soul continues to take another body. Our past action determines which body & the condition of our next life.

It really isn't about being bad or good. Someone could do all the good they want, but if they don't truly believe in Jesus then there is a BIG problem after death.
If you set your sights on Jesus, who he was and what he has taught us, then you will be on the right path. Many others will talk (and usually too much) but make your best reference the Bible.

Life after death, Not for me, who needs another experience like this one. Let's find a way to make this life enjoyable together and then offer me something else.

God knows. I believe in God . I believe that if we do what He says we will be blessed and if we do not we will suffer the consequences. Don't know if there is a hell or if it is symbolic language. If there is one I don't want to go there. I do know that I am going where Jesus is. That is the one thing I need to be sure of. He said, "I go to prepare a place so that where I am you may be also." That's where I want to be. I need to stay so close to Jesus that no one in this world can get between me and Him. He is "my rock and my fortress" and "my high tower."
God loves you and I love you.

Yes....the bible is plain of the soul/spirit however you see it ...will live forever but what you do in this life ...is like unto a man who plants a garden...and he plants different fruit trees ...he knows that if he plants a apple tree he should get apples ...pears,,pears..and so on.....your life is exactly the same way...the bible says if you sow corruption you will reap corruption...but if you sow incorruption you will reap incorruption...this is simple enough because just like the farmer...it is no surprise to you since what seed you plant will come up exactly what you sowed/planted...God bless

They try to scare us to be good, regardless of the truth!
(But if there is a Heaven it is for everyone who seeks forgiveness, and Hell is for those who really don't care.)

imho, the "fall" of mankind basically means we no longer have immortality as a part of our make up. The wages of sin...is death.
The gift Jesus came from Heaven to bring to us (at what a cost) is eternal life.

There's no such thing. It's just a religious scare tactic dreamed up by religious people to keep others from having a mind of their own.
