As a Christian I believe in Jesus as my Lord and Savoir, and the only way to Heaven...Does any other religion believe this? Any info on what the main beliefs are with each/ or any of the named religions would be great!

Islam, Jesus is regarded as a prophet.
Judaism, Jesus is regarded as a prophet or apostle, can't remember which.
Budhism, is not a religion, is simply a way of life.
Taoism, with many gods with Sun Tzu's art of War as one of the early source texts, is a religion which some consider as black magic. This is often confused with Budhism.
Hinduism, Jesus is known by another name and regarded as a prophet and possibly a demi-god amongst a host of others.
Jehovah, clueless there.
Christian, as opposed to Roman Catholic, Protestant, etc, is the belief in holy trinity with repentence as a key to salvation, are followers of Christ, the saviour.
Roman Catholic, Protestant, etc. Are religions, not a belief, administered by man on earth, with similar tenets to a Christian.

Islam believes Jesus is a prophet and the Messiah. Judaism believes he is one of many false messiahs. Some Buddhist believe Jesus may have been a buddha but his message corrupted, others dont think anything of him. Hinduism it depends like Buddhism. Some Hindus see Jesus as a sadhu(holy man) whos message was corrupted by his followers. Others do not think much of him.

As commanded by God, the Qur'an reveres Jesus and his mother, the Virgin Mary, and raises them both to a high status.

Jesus (PBUH - Peace Be Upon Him), as the Qur’an states, performed clear miracles (with God’s permission), and was able to do things other prophets were not given the power to do. This is something many Christians don’t know about Islamic belief …

(3:49)
And [will make him] an apostle unto the children of Israel.” I HAVE COME unto you with a message from your Sustainer. I shall create for you out of clay, as it were, the shape of [your] destiny, and then breathe into it, so that it might become [your] destiny by God's leave; and I shall heal the blind and the leper, and bring the dead back to life by God's leave; and I shall let you know what you may eat and what you should store up in your houses. Behold, in all this there is indeed a message for you, if you are [truly] believers.

وَرَسُولاً إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ أَنِّي أَخْلُقُ لَكُم مِّنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ فَأَنفُخُ فِيهِ فَيَكُونُ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ وَأُبْرِىءُ الأكْمَهَ والأَبْرَصَ وَأُحْيِـي الْمَوْتَى بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ وَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Jehovah's Witnesses are the only ones. Islam believes in Muhamand, Jews deny belief in Jesus, Buddist don't really believe in god at all, Hindui's believe in about 200 gods. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and formerly was Michael the Arc Angel before he was Jesus. The also believe that he died on a stake and not a cross.

Like the questioner and other Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is their Lord and Savior, and the only way to heaven. Grouping Jehovah's Witnesses with Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism is either hateful bigotry or extreme ignorance.

In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe! Dictionaries and fairminded academics freely acknowledge that Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian religion.

Despite this, trinitarians repeatedly pretend that Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian. Trinitarians use an artificial, trinity-specific definition of the term "Christian" which excludes anyone who does not believe that Jesus is God Himself, rather than the Son of God. Interestingly, pagans in the first century pretended that Christ's followers were Atheists(!) because the Christians had a somewhat different idea from the pagans about the nature of God.

The Trinitarian arguments are intended to insult and demean Jehovah's Witnesses, rather than to give a Scripturally accurate understanding of the term "Christian".

In fact, the bible most closely associates being "Christian" with preaching about Christ and Christ's teachings. Review all three times the bible uses the term "Christian" and note that the context ALWAYS connects the term with:
"declaring the good news"
'teaching quite a crowd'
'open eyes, turn from dark to light'
"uttering sayings of truth"
"persuade"
"keep on glorifying"

(Acts 11:20-26) [The early disciples of Jesus] began talking to the Greek-speaking people, declaring the good news of the Lord Jesus... and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.

(Acts 26:17-28) [Jesus said to Paul] I am sending you, to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God... Paul said: “I am not going mad, Your Excellency Festus, but I am uttering sayings of truth and of soundness of mind. ...Do you, King Agrippa, believe the Prophets? I know you believe.” But Agrippa said to Paul: “In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian.”

(1 Peter 4:14-16) If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy... But if he suffers as a Christian, let him not feel shame, but let him keep on glorifying God in this name


So why do anti-Witnesses try to hijack the term "Christian" and hide its Scriptural implications? Because anti-Witnesses recognize that it is the preaching work that makes it clear that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are by far the most prominent followers of Christ:

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded

Jesus (peace be upon him) is our (Muslims) beloved prophet. We believe in his miracle birth, he was born without a father. We also believe that he did't die, he was raised to Heaven. We believe that the person on the cross was Judas, he was made to look like Jesus (pbuh) by God for his treason.

We also believe in the Second Coming of Jesus (pbuh). He will come and rule the world according to Islamic law. He will deny that he ever said he was to be worshipped or that he is a God. He will break the Cross - because cross has been also worshipped by some Christians.

When he will die, he will be burried like any other person. That will be his life.

Hinduism absorbed Jesus as a god in their pantheon. Some Hindus believe he was an incarnation of Vishnu/Krishna.

Buddhism believes Jesus was a bodhisattva, an enlightened soul who reincarnated when he wouldn't have had to and returned to earth to lead others to enlightenment.

Both, by the way, have a great respect for him in any case---he didn't say much differently from what both religions teach.

Islam -- Jesus was a prophet, but Mohammed is the final prophet.
Judaism -- Jesus is a nonentity (the Jewish messiah will be human, not a god)
Buddhism -- a way of life, no god, not a religion
Hinduism -- many gods, but not Jesus
Jehovah? A name for God, nothing else
Allah? A name for God, nothing else
