I am absolutely and definitely going to there in heaven with my Saviour.Not because of anything I did outside of repenting believing and accepting Jesus into my heart and life. I know this because His Spirit witnesses to my spirit that I am truly His.
This can be true for anyone & everyone who will do the above--- for He is not willing that any should perish, but all would come to Him.

Spirits and people are two different species and one does not become the other. When you die, you are dead period. There is no soul that separates from you and floats away, no matter what the Greek theologians said. Man itself and the life he lives, he is a living soul. According to the bible, the soul itself that is sinning, it itself will surely die. Each of us is a living soul. We couldn't live in the heavens or whatever dimension God and the Angels live in, there is no oxygen, and you cannot live because you are dead. We pray for his kingdom to come, his will be done, ON EARTH just as it is in heaven. A few will be chosen to live in heaven along side Jesus as kings and queens OVER THE OTHERS LIVING ON EARTH. But they must die first and be recreated by God with the memories of the person who died. Remember, when Jesus died, and was created again, his own mother didn't recognize him since his original body had decayed and was useless. But in that instance God created another body for his son. Jesus was an angel in the beginning with God, but was sent to live on earth as a man. But for us the rest of us., people do not become angels, dogs do not become cats. The bible says: "The living know that they shall die, but the dead , they know NOTHING AT ALL, neither do they any more have wages, the rememberance of them has been forgotten." We think but when we are dead its LIGHTS OUT!

Gods! I hope not! That would really crimp the whole reincarnation cycle that I accept as fact.
Okay, seriously, then.
In order for me to go to Heaven, I would have to accept that there is such a place. While Wiccans do have a similar concept (called the Summerlands), it is an accepted fact that you will go to the Summerlands. There is no question. We don't have to earn our way in. So if you look at it that way, then yes, I will go to Heaven and I know because that's what my belief tells me.
Will I go to the Christian Heaven? Probably not. To accept the idea that Heaven (as defined by Christian dogma) exists, I would also have to accept the existence of Hell, which I do not. Also, according to Christian dogma, I would have to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior, which I also do not.
Of course, who is to say who is right and who is wrong?
It may well be that your afterlife is determined by what you believe. Christians get to go to Heaven, Wiccans to the Summerlands, and athiests get to hand around in limbo, I guess. We won't know until we get there.
Personally, I believe that we reincarnate, taking on different bodies until we have experienced life from all aspects. This knowledge is stored away in our subconscious until our final cycle, after which the entirety of our collected knowledge is open to us and we rejoin with the universal entity, becoming one with all that is (the Summerlands).

unfortunately i dont believe i am going to heaven when i die because i dont believe there is a heaven. there could possibly be a hell, but to say if there is a heaven i just dont know and therefore have to assume that there is no heaven. im christian so im taught to believe that there is such thing as heaven and hell, but that is one area where i dont truly believe. if there was a heaven however, i'd say i'd be in between. i havent had a good life and have had some experience that i regret although my intentions were good at the time. but if there was a God and there was a heaven, hopefully God would choose me to go to heaven because i have done good in my life, despite my laziness at many times. i learnt to accept people for who they were at the age of three onwards. i have also never hated anyone in my life, and for someone who's experienced as much hardship with people as me is really big. i did go through a stage though that i thought i hated myself and God because of the way my life was going, but i later realised that it wasnt hate that i had, it was disliking certain qualities about myself in terms of appearance and disliking certain aspects of God in the way that i feel that he's not always listening to my prayers the way that i would like him to. whenever i pray, i pray for other people. and when i do pray, it comes from the heart and what i truly feel. hopefully if there was a God he loves me or even likes me. i'd hate for him to dislike me. but yeah. my beliefs with heaven and hell come from what i've been taught at school to what i know myself. i cant know that there is a heaven and hell because im not dead and so havent been able to see it for myself

Livin' in Heaven, NOW. Why wait? Heaven and Hell are intellectual ideas, creations of the mind. If you aren't in Heaven then you are living in Hell. You never do die, that was Jesus's message to us all....

Yes,
and if you so happen to have an affliction in this earth realm
you will see heaven more clearly than most.
The end is absolutely beyound or imagination*
Gods ways are not our ways,His thoughts are not our thoughts.
God reveals what He wills.
A blind man asks,what does a rainbow look like?
A sighted man explains.
A blind man asked God,why can I not see what is on the earth?
God asked the man,what do you see?
The man answers, You.
I believe a blind man can see Heaven much clearer than we who have sight.
You know for sure when something has touched you so deeply that it takes you to your knees, that is where you meet this one named Jesus Christ the one who meets you even if you feel you are going thru hell. He will grab hold of you and lift you up with uncomparable Love,and you will see Heaven* oh, so clearly*
No pain,no suffering,no more tears,
that is a promise from our maker*God who gave us His Son
who came to destroy the works of the ruler of this world
and take us to Heaven when we shed this earthly skin.
We can even have life on this earth that feels like a heaven as far as our limited wisdom can extend, and thats thanks to the joy we choose in Jesus*
God is FAITHFUL to His promises.
He sent His only Son to save us from the ruler of this world AND even added a beautiful thing with the saving of us-Eternal Life*
What greater expression of Love can you think of?
Oh,yes,Iam going to that place because Love said so.
God is Love*
God is faithful for what He promises*
All eyes will see,even the eyes of the blind*
Not imposing my opinion,it is just my opinion,and belief.

Yes I am. Cause I have faith in the Lord. You truely feel the power of the Lord when you become saved. The feeling is just beautiful. From that you surely start to understand how much the Lord loves us and you then know your going to heaven.

No - I don't believe in Heaven (or Hell for that matter), I believe in Reincarnation.
But if the Fundamentalist Christians turn out to be correct (which I don't believe likely) I would not be going to Heaven. And really, if the Fundamentalists are going to Heaven, I would much rather end up in Hell (all of my friends are going to be there anyway).

When you are a Christian God lives in your heart. Where God is is Heaven. Christians don't have to wait till they die to go to Heaven as we there already.><>

Yes I am going to heaven when I die, and I know because on March 4,1999 I gave my heart to Jesus Christ. I know in my heart I am and I know according to his word. Are you going to heaven or hell?
