many skeptics always note how difficult it is to figure out the '' right religion" or they say all religions have the same merits. but here is how you know the truth....... ask any one of any religion this hypothetical question: you were stabbed in the back with a knife, you have three minutes to live,how do you get to their heaven?
whichever can get you to heaven assuredly after 3 minutes holds the truth...let me know

Er, there is no such thing as "heaven". Anyone can tell you anything will "get you to heaven assuredly". You won't learn anything from this question.

You're assuming that all religions believe there's a heaven. I am a spiritual being (as we all are) but I've never encountered a heaven or hell in the many lifetimes that I can recall. If this situation happened to me, I wouldn't have a single thought about heaven...I'd be looking for the nearest hospital maternity ward or pregnant mother and after I departed my body I'd go there and come right back as a newborn baby! Bet you weren't expecting this kind of answer, were you, lol!

If in these three minutes instead of showing my hatred, I exhibited forgiveness towards the killer then I will surely go to heaven(According to my religion that is Islam)

Pray for forgiveness in your own faith! No one qualifies, on his/her own merits, in any faith. You have to pray for forgiveness.
In the christian faith, two laws will help you into heaven. Love god, and love your neighbor as Christ loves you. Support to help you with that is prayer, communion and reading the word!
Sure, man fails, he as always failed, even as he does now?
If he was perfected, their would be no need for prayer.
With or without religion, we are called to love, with or without religion everyone on earth want everyone else to follow the ten commandments when interacting with them.
Who out there do not want to be treated according to the ten Commandments? Raise you hand and step up to the wall.

That is know how to know Truth. Truth cannot be told, thats against it's nature. Only through Revelation or Realization can the Truth be understood.

Pray to Jesus that my sins be forgiven me and that I be washed in his blood. I accept him as my Lord and Savior.

WE DO NOT GO TO HEAVEN, GOING TO HEAVEN IS A LIE, A TRADITION OF MEN.
Joh 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Joh 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
1ti 6:15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
1ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Joh 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
1jo 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1jo 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
BUT WHAT IS PROMISED BY GOD IS SO MUCH MORE EXCELENT AND GREAT THAN LOFTING UP TO HEAVEN
WHERE DO WE FIT INTO THIS PICTURE?
The Bible makes it perfectly clear that all who accept God's offer of mercy and salvation through His Son Jesus Christ will inherit and inhabit the new universe for His pleasure, glory, and the expansion of His Divine Family. We shall be kings and priests ruling under Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:6; 5:10). How awesome! Are you willing to accept that fact? It is speculated by some that the entire universe will one day teem with life and the redeemed of the Lord will inhabit it.
"And He that sat upon the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new.' And He said unto me, 'Write: for these words are true and faithful.' And He said unto me, 'It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son'" (Revelation 21:57).
1jo 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Ga 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Ga 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Ga 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Ro 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Ro 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Ro 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Ro 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Ro 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Re 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Re 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Re 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Re 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him
I affirm not only belief in God the Father and in Jesus Christ as Creator, Designer, and Lifegiver, but in the Holy Bible as the inspired revelation of Almighty God (Psalm 12:6,7; 119:89; 2 Timothy 3:16). You must now choose whom you will believe and obey: the speculations, ideas, and theories of menor the inspired Word of God. MY earnest prayer is that the Lord God of Israel, the Almighty Creator of the infinite universe, will grant you wisdom to make the correct decision and the faith to believe and obey His Word.
