Yes, it doesn't matter what church you attend. What matters is do you believe that Jesus died for your sins and was raised again on the 3rd day? Do you believe that He is The Way, The Truth and The Life? If so, you'll get to Heaven, no matter where you spend your time on earth.

Depends.....
A Catholic goes to his own heaven, as does a Baptist and a Moron....I mean, Mormon...
However, if youre Catholic, a Baptist will not be in Heaven, nor will a lutheran or moron (why cant I get that right? I mean MORMON!) Likewise, if youre Baptist, there wont be any annoying Christians in Heaven with you.
Its all really simple. Heaven doesnt really exist. The Idea is like a carrot dangling on the end of a string - it is designed to get you to come their way, beleive in what they beleive, so that they made addd to their numbers which gives them validity in society.
Sad really....

No - one can get to heaven only as a Christian.
Catholics have added the traditions of the popes.
Lutherans have added the catechisms and teachings of Luther.
Southern Baptists have added the Baptist Standard Manual (the source of such quotes as, "Baptism is the outward sign of an inward grace").
Mormons have added the Book of Mormon.
We need to go by the Bible alone. The Bible only makes Christians only, and the only Christians.

Bigbear151 -- your answer has nothing to do with the question. And who are you to tell people that "Large families over 2 children is socially irresponsible and morally wrong".
So, as the youngest of 5 children I'm evil and should be eradicated? And my parents are irresponsible and horrible people? You have no right to tell people how many children they should have.
I'm getting married in the next year and we're planning on having at least four kids, who I will love, nurture, and will hopefully grow up to do great things. And the beauty of being in America and in a deomocracy is.... you can't do anything about it.
Ah, yes, back to the question... Heaven is accessable to everyone, you just have to believe in Jesus and truly ask for forgiveness. Even BigBear151 can 'get in'.

No... being Catholic or Lutheran or Southern Baptist will not get you into heaven. Only by accepting Jesus Christ will you get there, regardless of your denomination.

Yes, yes, yes and no.
Mormons do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God or God incarnate. The rest of the religions mentioned believe that the sacrifice of Jesus's earthly body was the ultimate atonment for sins for all time. John 3:16 NIV, KJV and NKJV will explain plainly. The rest is just details to make our lives better.

Jesus said, that there is only one way: "No one comes to the Father except through me". "If you have seen me, you have seen my Father who is in Heaven." "I am the way, the truth, and the light." "If one is in Jesus, one has life and has life more abundantly. If one is not in Jesus one does not have life." If one is not in Christ, having not been brought to the saving knowledge of Jesus the Christ, and not drawn by God's Grace, a free gift of the Father, one has only a mere existence, not having life and is headed for destruction. It is not about being a Catholic, or a Lutheran, or a Southern Baptist, or a Morman or a member of any man made religion, but it is about Jesus, the Christ, being in Jesus, whose blood purchased the soul, and only in Jesus is age long life. To have age long life one must have the free gift of salvation and be drawn to Jesus by God's free Grace.

Each has thier own form of heaven so yes. However, I don't consider Mormanism to be much of a religion, (I'm not trying to insult anyone here, just an opinion, I think everyone should choose to follow what they want) because of its history (or what I think I know of it's history, I;d like to know more actually).
