If someone showed up or declared they where the Messiah today and where going to take you to the Kingdom of Heaven, would you believe them? Or would you demand proof? What about your faith?

No, I wouldn't believe them.
Yes, I would demand proof -- but they wouldn't be able to give any, so it doesn't matter.
Believing fairy-tales with no basis in reality, then trying to make it sound deep by calling it "faith," is still just ignorance and stupidity.

I would practise my critical thinking skills, do a back ground search, because putting faith in the wrong people can have painful consequences. Beware of false prophets. The kingdom of heaven lies within all of us. Trying to shut out the ego mind and accessing this kingdom is not an easy task but a life long journey.

If you truly had faith, you would not need anyone to take you to the kindom of heaven, as you would ultimatly find it yourself. By putting your faith in others, you are giving up your beliefs and asking someone to believe for you. So no I would not believe them, nor would I ask proof as the only proof available would be seen when you arrive at your heaven.

I won't believe and I won't demand proof because the bible already said how the world is going to be before the end time and before the coming of our Lord Jesus

Some guy already DID come up to me at the bus stop, declaring that he was Jesus. Then, he touched our foreheads and said, "God bless you" and walked away.
If I were to go to Heaven while still alive, I believe that no one would come down to get me and take me there. I believe that I will float up into the clouds to be with the Lord (as in the Biblical Rapture).

1 JOHN 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
fortunately i believe that true believers will know - Christ will not take out an ad on TV or proclaim it of Himself. My prayers to God during the time of Christs second coming (should i be around ) will guide me in the direction in which He wants me to follow.

I would look at the bible and what it says,and unless he comes in clouds with a host of Angels at his side,No i wont believe it because the bible says the messiah has already came and wont come back until he takes his church out of the world

Seems to work for the stinking Moonie Cult without proof.

Only one man fullfilled and can fulfill all the prophesy made about the Messiah. Jesus is that man who fulfilled it, and no one on earth can do it. Sorry I wouldn't believe that guy for a second. i already have my Messiah.

No one will be "taking" me anyplace. God's kingdom will be here on earth and we will recognize the messiah because "...they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore." (Micah 4:3)
How could anyone miss him?
