Jesus stated that only a "little flock" of Christians are awarded heavenly life. Heaven is not something easily attained. Jesus' apostles were rewarded with heavenly life, but look what they went through as his followers. They were thrown in prison, beaten, and persecuted constantly thoughout their ministry. They remained faithful until death. The Bible says that "faith without works is dead." So a person must be more than just good to be rewarded life in heaven. There are many people who may lead a good and respectable life, but they do not believe in God. So not all good people go to heaven. God has promised us that a "great crowd" of Christians will be given eternal life here on earth. Those who do go to heaven become co-rulers with Jesus in his heavenly government, which will rule over those on earth. Those who receive their reward in heaven will rule as judges and "kings and priests" with Jesus. I have the hope of living here on earth in total peace and security.

Everyone is going to heaven. There is no hell, God loves all his people the same, despite their flaws, he sees the good in everyone. People who do bad things (that constitutes them as "going to Hell") usually have some predisposing factors that effect the negative actions, or being genitally flawed (mental issues).... so why would God abandon those that need him the most, esp. when they had no say in the matter that led them to their sins, and even if they had a consciousnesses choice on sinning or not, usually their is some thing that drives that and is that enough to condemn some one. I believe Heaven and Hell was all made up by Manipulating Clergy men who were in grave fear of loosing control of the people they ran by the name of God, in order to maintain this control, the determined the criteria of who would go to heaven and hell, and it usually had some kind of benefit for them or their cause..... Think about it......

Secondly, the Bible says that all and sundry ye who believeth upon Him would be saved. in case you have asked Jesus for forgiveness, and comprehend which you have been saved, then you rather will bypass to Heaven. only you and God comprehend while you're saved and headed for the Promised Land, no person on an internet message board can comprehend your heart.

Yes, I am. I know this because the Spirit of Truth has told me, "When you leave the world this time, you will not be coming back." My sojourn and travail in the world of the dead is over. This will be accomplished not by the strength of my own works, but by the Power of God only. And I am very thankful for that!

No one actaually knows where they are going for sure. You have to be paitent and wait for your correct spot for your after life. If you believe in Jesus and except him as your savior, then you will most likely go to Heaven. If you don't believe in Jesus as your savior, you may not be as lucky. Jesus knows what you do, how you think, and everything else. Jesus will take you to his world if you accept him, otherwise....well you may be taken somewhere else. Believe in Jesus as your savior, accept that he is your savior, and then maybe you've done well enough in your life to go to Heaven. I know I believe in Jesus as my savior and I always will..for he died for me to go to Heaven as a good person and I'm accepting that fact. He wants us to come to him, not go to Hell and draw farther away from him. Jesus will forgive you for sinning, but that doesn't mean that because he forgives that he brings you to him....you have to believe that he is more than a forgiver

I have trusted Jesus as my personal Savior and the Bible says that if I do that I have a home in heaven that can never be taken away.

Yes, I am. Jesus died for my sins so that I could go to Heaven for eternity. Are you going to Heaven? I hope so!

No Bubba I am not going to heaven. Nor do I want to.
Earth is my home and I am going to live on it forever.

I'm going to work.
Then I'm coming home. Then I'm going to work and repeating that cycle until it becomes time to repeat a larger cycle.
Since I am a Pisces, I will have completed my twelve lives (assuming my soul does not have to reincarnate to Pisces again), and my soul will then rest in Nirvana.

Yes, I know I'm not going to Heaven. Nobody is. Nobody is going to Hell either. They don't exist.
