Not necessarily. Satan believes in God. Satan knows that God exists.
Caution!!! If you believe in God and are rebellious like Satan, Well you know the expression, "You Are Playing With Fire".
If you are playing with fire you'll likely get burned, and You know where the fire is that never stops burning.
To get to heaven you must believe in God and follow His Teachings. There are those who say Lord, Lord, who will not get into heaven. It says in scripture the God will say "I Never Knew You!"
God Bless You and Guide You, ;-)

Heaven is not a destination; it is the state of the soul.
Some people imagine that heaven is dull because not many human beings can reach it and those so-called saints have no works to do. While hell is interesting, because there they can meet again almost all their ordinary friends and relatives and they have to do lots of hard works which give them good appetites and good sleeps afterwards. Moreover, the administrators in hell are now more civilized, they don't treat criminals so bad as in the previous centuries. So they conclude that it is better to conduct a devilish life to secure their places in hell!!
The real meaning of heaven or hell is the spiritual attainment of the good pleasure of God or the lack of it. Perhaps, we should reread the Holy Books and make consideration based on our own free will, our new human and divine knowledge.

Yes. However I must clarify that their are 2 kinds of belief. The surface belief of "yeah I believe in the presence of God" is not what the Bible menitons. You believe in your heart. For example if your child is sick, and you really believe the DR will help, what do you do? Sit there and say "I believe in the presence of Drs"? No you don't. You DO something aobut it. You take your child to the Dr. Read Romans 10:9 This tells you to believe in your heart.
Ok now the 2nd question. Do you go to heaven? Well, I can tell you we will be with the Lord, and if the Lord is in Heaven then yes that's where we will be. 2nd Chorinthians 5:8 says that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So there is no in between. It either Heaven or Hell. So suppose you die today, and if you believe in your heart (this means you do something about it) don't sit there and say "I believe, I believe" - get off your hands comit your life to Jesus and yes you will go to Heaven.

In Christianity, there is something called "original sin" which is the gift from "Adam and Eve" and coupled with this are accumulated personal sins. Heaven being Heaven for what it is, you cannot enter with sin--you're impure still.
That's why Jesus came as the Messiah (or Christ). Believe in him and be "born-again" and those sins are erased; thus, allowing you to enter Heaven with a spotless soul. I generally believe in this although there are some concepts I'm in contention with.
But basically, that is it. If your Islamic and want 72 virgins in Heaven, then you have to... well, never mind. Hope you find your answers.

No...of the 20 billion or so people who have died, only the 144,000 will end up in heaven and rule the earth, in a city called the New Jerusalem, these are the 'bride of Christ', the firstfruits. Rev. 7,14,21:1-4
The dead will be raised up in the earth. God will reside with mankind, Rev 21:3,4....Rev. 20:4-15.

Guess what?
My answer: Nope!
Even Satan and his demons believe in God.
You have to accept Jesus Christ as your personal saviour, turn away from your former life, and ask for forgiveness (humbling, but necessary -- pride is what keeps people from accepting Christ.).
Hey, it's a great way to go. Heaven starts the minute you accept Him. The eternal life starts the minute you accept Him. That's why it's called being "born again".
Everything becomes new.
And it really does. Trust me. It does.

When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, we are promised to be taken to Heaven. If you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ then you will go to Heaven. If you do not believe, then I don't know. If you are against the Lord, it is the worse thing you can do. So who knows ?? God is a fogiving God. I think at the final last seconds of our lifes here on earth, and when we stand before Him, he will take us all to Heaven. Jesus Loves US !

It's a matter of faith and speculation, so you can believe whatever you like according to your chosen religion. Nobody who's died has been able to effectively tell us what the answer to this question is so, from a purely scientific point of view the chances of going to heaven or anywhere else for that matter are pretty small.
