If that is true, then Jesus didn't make it, either. He was Jewish!

You are not going to go to hell because you're not Catholic! What idiot told you that? Listen, I was brought up as a Catholic... We were told all sorts of false stories about limbo, purgatory, and saints. The story about people going to hell because they're not baptized a Catholic is in the same category. They were just trying to make sure you'd drop $10 (or more) in the church basket every Sunday with these ridiculous scare tactics. Just be a kind person and do what is right throughout your life. I'll see you on the other side, ok?

Not to bash Catholics but from a membership church meeting with other catholics joining a christian church recently, I found out most of them if not all did not have a personal relationship with God as the priest always read to them or interpreted the Bible for them.
Also, the Bible says that baptism is not the only means of getting to heaven. Without accepting Jesus as your savior and repenting your sins baptism means nothing. You do not go to heaven on bapstim alone. Not being a catholic doesnt say you are going to hell. Where does it say that??

Heaven in a Place set aside for 144,000 Jews and A number of those sealed by God, that no man can Number. The Catholic Church though it teaches Christianity is not the only ones going to Heaven, Denominations are a Man made selective dogma , has nothing to do with Gods Promises to those who believe on his Son's Salvation.

One man's heaven is another man's hell. There is a joke that goes; "What did the Lutheran say to the Catholic in Heaven?....Nothing, there are no Lutherans in Heaven" So many seem to think Heaven will be segregated. I guess we'll find out one way or another. Personally I think Hell is not knowing.

Hahaha that's gotta be one of the silliest paradoxes I've ever heard!! :D If even the tiniest lie is considered a sin and therefore a "ticket" to hell, everyone's going there!! Why can someone who is Christian, sin like crazy and then confess him/herself to the priest every week and save his/her a*se from going to hell?! It's unfair to atheists and those of different religion. Personally, I don't believe in afterlife, but if I DO get in hell, I don't mind, bet it's much more awesome down there than in heaven!! 8D

Catholics believe people can go to heaven outside the church and without baptism (Catechism), the odds are not as good though.
According to catholics, buddhist, atheists and pagans can go to heaven, under certain circumstances. Among other things, it requires to lead a good life.
Now, according to other christians branches (some of them) it's either their way or hell.

Not according to the Bible. You should read the New Testament. Jesus raged against those that taught you had to do or behave in a certain way to gain Heaven. He says that there is only one way. And that is through Him. Not any groups belief, rituals or "laws". Beware of ANY religion, or "spiritualiry" that doesn't invite you to question and find the answer to those questions for yourself. The Bible will also tell you who is condemned to hell.

“ Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. ” (The Holy Quran 2:256)
NO ONE goes to hell without a reason...
u should have a good reason to annoy God. and U CHOOSE the reason... whether u choose to be a muslim, a christian or any xyz... u should be able to stand infront of God confident, confident that u made the right choice in this world, that u worshipped Him the way He wanted u too... we are free to choose...we are free to reason... the rest is on ur ability to pick up the RIGHT among them based on logic...BUT its essential that u make the right decision...

Denomination has nothing to do with it. By accepting Jesus into your heart and that He died to save us from our sins is the way into Heaven. While this is the basic tenet of all protestant religions, it is not so in all. I believe there are good people in all God based religions and even in some that believe in other "gods", but the only ones entering heaven will be those that have accepted Christ as their Saviour
