If you are only believing in Jesus to get into heaven, would you go to hell instead? Kinda a wrong reason to believe right? its like believing out of fear?

I agree, good observation. Jesus lived and said great things, things to live a good life by. Religions were formed based on his preaching. That is the reason to believe, the words are still true. Love is the answer!

There are few religions that do not recognize Jesus. Most see Him as a good man, a special man. Perhaps like Ghandi or Mother Theresa. Some do recognize Him as the Messiah, son of God. Being a Christian (baptized a catholic) I have always believed and worshipped Jesus. I however have read excerpts from the different religious beliefs and found the Jesus plays an intricate part in many of these religions. WE must be careful, for alot of what we have read has been altered by man. Man is inperfect (to say the least) You must find as much material on the subject at hand and come to your own conclusions.
Did Jesus exist on Earth.. Yes, I believe there is historical proof as well as archeaology findings. Much information has been kept from the general population. I'd love to spend a month in the Vatican's hidden library or any of the many similiar caches of past writings and historical journals.
One should not worry about going to heaven or hell. One should practice each day as if it were his last. Keeping in mind what these last actions, and words will have in a long term affect on those we love and complete strangers. WE must treat one another as we would want to be treated. WE must find the empathy and compassion for the others sufferings even when it is almost impossible. We must just mentally and emotionally trade places with our fellow human, and think of how you would be if you were them. Next you must live each day in honesty, and integrity. Always working your hardest and going the extra mile. To be able to look in the mirror and say to yourself "I'm proud of what I have done today" that reflection you see and those thoughts in your heart and mind are what Jesus has already seen and made notes of. If you died a minute from now, could you face Jesus and honestly believe he would be a proud Father? Live your life with the thought of making Jesus proud of your actions, all your actions. There must be trust that what life throws at you is a learning instrument that will come in handy in the future. That God does not hurt us to be mean, but to strengthen us, teaching us a valuable lesson.

Behold, I have spread out life like a blanket, and caused it to multiply in all the earth... Life fills every corner!... And still people seek out its beginnings and long to know its source, asking in vain, “Where did I come from, and why are we here? From what source did all this life come, and how did it get here? What is the beginning and how will it end?”...
Ignorant and hard peoples, deceived and blind people! Foolish children!... LIFE HAS A NAME! The Beginning and The End has walked among you! The Source and The Reason is here!... And shall also come in great power and glory! From Him did you come forth, and to Him must you return... All you, His beloved. There is no other! There is no other answer, no other way. All knowledge apart from Him is a lie... Great vanity and evil arrogance, the disease of human pride.
His names are many and wonderful...
That which He is has no end! For as I AM, so is He!...
The Father and The Son are One! And our name, One!...
YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!
In the beginning was The Word...
And The Word was with God,
And The Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God...
Through Him all things came into being;
And nothing, in all creation, was made apart from Him.
In Him was life, and The Life was the light of men...
The Light shines in the darkness,
And the darkness shall not overcome it.
Behold! The Word became flesh!...
Immanu El!

fear is a great motivator, but i always hated it. and you realize that your priorities are kinda out of whack as far as your reasons for believing in Jesus. But that is no excuse to just throw up your hands and say, "oh well, it's hopeless, i'm doomed." ask God to help you get your priorities straightened out, and tell him of your concerns.

I believe no one goes to hell. You are forgiven of all your sins at your last rights before you die.

if you really believe in Jesus and ask him to enter your heart and confess your sins you WILL go to heaven.

You're right those would be the wrong reasons.
There is no place called hell.
