We will all be a bit surprised when we get there to see who made it in.No one has a monopoly on Gods plan.

nope!
The Jews that had great faith before Jesus came to earth will also be there. For example: Abraham, Elijah, Moses, Joshua. They are not born again Christians but they will be there as well because they were around and even promised Heaven before Christ came to earth.
God does love everyone just as a father with a rebelous son would still love him. But the thing that most people don't understand is that God is also just. Everything has it's consequences and that's the same with God. You don't believe, there will be consequences. Unfortunately, it'll come too late.

There will be those there that never heard of Jesus but they lived their life doing the best they knew how, also babies that never knew anything and was not born again as they had no sin, and those that were like children as they did not have the capacity to know right from wrong and make a decision so how could they sin? So no, there will not be only born again Christians but those that never even heard of a Christian and those not capable of sinning too. God loves everyone but they dont' always choose to love Him or do what He wants us to do.

God loves all children of the earth. Heaven is for those that God has chosen, not just born again Christians.

The bible says that only 144,000 faithful ones will go to heaven (Revelation 7:1-4) and that the remaining faithful people will live on earth forever in paradise-like conditions (Psalm 37:10,11). The model prayer (matthew 6:9,10) says "let your will take place as in heaven also upon the earth". God is not partial and wants everyone to share this hope of everlasting life. Check these scriptures out in your bible.

No born again Christians will be in heaven. Their smugness won't get them past the pearly gates. Furthermore, they are all ipse dixit guilty of "profaning," a new and unforgivable sin of the New Testament.
1. Smugness. They think they have passed a test and are forgiven. No one in the entire Bible who feels this way gets what they want. Within sight of the Promised Land, Moses himself said "I will lead you there" and he immediately dropped dead. No one --no spirit --no angel -- NO ONE -- is permitted this certainty about being close to God. Jesus himself is humble about his power until after Pentacost, which is 50 days after his death.
2. Profanity has been pervered into being a synonym for vulgarity, as if the unforgivable sin of profanity was cussing. What nonsense! David slew Goliath for "profaning against his (David's) God." What does that mean? That Goliath dissed God by saying he wasn't much, he didn't have any great power, he wasn't any better than the various mud idols of polytheistic Babylon, etc....
Goliath made God sound common, he took the SACRED and made it sound COMMONPLACE.
For Christians, for followers of the New Testament, this is not only a sin, not only violating a commandment, but a sin that utterly WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN by God himself.
Jesus died for human sin and venality on the Cross between two thieves. Born agains think that, while alive, they can forgive themselves and others as if they were Jesus -- but they haven't been crucified themselves, they have not been TOLD to put up with it by God, and they haven't been trained to forgive (which, incidentally, is a pardon --to forgive is to pardon -- and pardon, my friend, is a JUDICIAL action, it's something a judge does. There has to be a JUDGMENT that the sinner is WRONG in order to pronounce a "kind" judgment of forgiveness.
Born agains think that because they have been baptised and are emotionally delighted with Jesus, that this gives them the authority of a kind judge, and that the miracles of the incarnated God are theirs for the asking --and-- for both reasons --this is profanity.
They won't be forgiven. You won't see them in Heaven.
Some born agains triple damn themselves by, in addition to their profanity, worshipping Armageddon and smugly believing that they will be in the skybox with Jesus to see the carnage and gloat about it. That's the wrong attitude, in fact, it's a damnable attitude.
God doesn't love that. "Doesn't God love anyone else?" your question inquires. God loves those who get up off their behinds and make the world a better place and, day by day, brick by brick, action by action, build trust and civility -- without developing spiritual arrogance about themselves and without worshipping with HYSTERIA, which is repugnant to all spirits except manipulative, dark ones.

God loves all people, but he is also a gentleman. You are already accepted into heaven until you willfully break the rules. If you want to get into heaven after you have broken the rules, you say you are sorry, and ask to return. You then accept forgiveness, and when you leave this life, you will be welcomed into the next. You don't have to be a christian to get into heaven, so long as you are perfect.

Heaven will be filled with the born again, the innocent and those who believed in God before Jesus came along.
God loves everyone and wants you to CHOOSE to be in Heaven with him.
I am really baffled that so many people think this is such a tough choice to make.

Probably. When people die they go and see whatever they wish, or expect, or sometimes -- if they have a deep sense of guilt -- what they fear.
I think many of them will want to stagnate there in Christian Fantasyland while the rest of us move on doing God's business: reincarnating, learning, evolving toward perfection, in touch with the true God in an amazing journey of discovery.

People need to realize they must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. Read John 3:16. You will find it says who ever believes in Him. It does not say just because you are here. You must choose. No one else can choose for you.

God loves everyone, but He only opens the doors to Heaven to those who accept that God exists and follows Him dearly.
I love God and am not afraid to say so, so I can only assume that there's a spot Up There waiting for me to fill it. :)
And if God doesn't exist and we actually just rot in the ground, then I've got nothing to worry about anyway, right? *lol*
