The Bible says that to simply believe as in acknowledging that there is a God is not enough. "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder" (James 2:19). Read through Mattew, Mark, Luke, and John. You will see many instances where the demons acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God; yet the demons are destined for the lake of fire. Anyone who rejects Jesus Christ as her personal Savior is destined for the lake of fire---hell. "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death" (Revelation 21:8)
The Bible does say though, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31). Getting saved is this easy. However, I have already shown you that mental acknowledgement is not what the Bible is saying leads you to Heaven. So what does it mean to believe so as to be saved? Let me use an illustration. Suppose you saw me in an airport terminal, and you asked me, "David, do you believe this plane can fly?" I respond, "Oh, yes! I absolutely believe this plane can fly!" But a few minutes later, as the passengers begin boarding the plane, you see me run out of the airport. You'd say to yourself, "This guy doesn't really believe."
To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ so as to be saved is to place all your trust, all your dependancy on Him and Him alone to forgive your sins. You're not going to rely on anything else to get you into Heaven.
Jesus Christ, God's one and only Son, died on a cross for your sins. He loves you that much! Three days later Jesus rose from the dead. He sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. And some day He is coming back to earth to judge the wicked and reign with His followers. Are you ready for the day you will meet Christ face-to-face either at His Second Coming or upon your death? Don't wait another day to give your live to Christ! The promise of the Bible can be yours: "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life" (1st John 5:12-13)

No, sorry, I have to disagree on some of your points.
I do agree that God does indeed exist, and that there is a heaven and a hell. However...
"You believe there is one God... good, but the demons also believe, and tremble".
Believing in God is not enough, for even Satan believes that God is real, and is terrified of that knowledge... because his acknowledgement of His existance cannot save him.
But rather, it is the repentance and asking forgiveness of sin, proclaiming that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, acknowledging that He died on the cross for your sins and rose from the grave on the 3rd day, obeying what Jesus teaches in the Bible, and being born again, that saves.
And it's just my opinion, but if you want to be taken more seriously, it does not behoove a Christian to speak in poorly-spelled l33t. It comes across as the stereotypical "arrogant Christian ignoramus" that is so prevalently believed here by the atheists.

I disagree why are there so many religions? Also when you die how do you know that your going to hell or heaven how do you know that have you been there and back?

Even though you're totally 1337, I still disagree. I really don't care if god is going to deny me, he should've been more receptive back when I was a christian and needed help.
