Answer 1

Christian :)
Yes I believe I will be going to heaven..and trust me, this was a LONG process...growing up I didn't understand what believing in Jesus meant... I was taught that I was "bad", and always need to be forgiven. And so I felt afraid to say that I was going to heaven, because obviously I sin quite a lot (think bad thoughts, imperfect, lazy, scream at my mom sometimes, etc etc).... I floated away from church, and only started going back last year to a new little church my friend goes to.

Gosh I've learned SO much from there. :) and I've realized (thru learning of Romans 5-8), that accepting Jesus Christ as our savior, means that I am now Forgiven...of all Past, Present AND future sins! that means, in God's eyes, I am clean. And That means, that I will go to Heaven.

But, i don't see that as "oh i'm better than someone else". no way!! i see it as something i have to Live Up to, that i Rejoice in! i am so Happy that Jesus has allowed us to be forgiven, no matter what mistakes i make...and that means, now i can get up, start all over again, without punishment, without fear, and try again to be Better EACH DAY. no condemnation, no fear of rejection.... i am Free to live, love and be Happy to the best of my ability. when you accept and rejoice in that, you will not try to Abuse it.. some people say, "if ur forgiven of future sins, u can do whatever u want"...but that's not true. i believe when u truly Understand and are THANKFUL, u will do the best u can to be the Best Person u can be...and that's how i feel. and since that quest will take the end of time (i will never be Perfect), i will always try to be humble and continue to learn, grow and be happier and healthier and be Thankful each day!

good luck to all of us.. i think it quite possible that GOOD people will go to heaven, even if they think they do not believe in God. to pursue Happy, Healthy, Positive, Good things in this world, u have to be blessed with kindness and joy, and that comes thru God somehow :)

Answer 2

I'm a Daemonolatress. I worship pantheons of Demons (from the Greek meaning Divine intelligence and the Latin meaning Replete with Wisdom). I believe we live life here and now and deity will guide us and show us wisdom in this life if we seek it. I don't believe in heaven, nor hell, nor any afterlife. I don't really believe in reincarnation. I believe dead is dead and the only thing that goes on is the matter that once was your physical body. That is - matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. I am not sure whether I believe the consciousness lives on. I'm inclined to think not. My problem is I've never died and lived to tell about it. So I really don't know and it would be arrogant for me to assume I know.

Answer 3

Eclectic solitary practitioner of the pagan path, and even if heaven does exist (I don't rule out any religion or path as I believe they are all right for somebody)I would not want to go, even if they would let me in because I have met too many zealots on earth and don't waqnt to spend my afterlife with them, I'd rather burn with those brave enough to stand on their own beliefs because those are my friends, for better or worse, until the end

Answer 4

I believe in Evangelical. Was raised by my grandparents in this religion. I don't go to church now even though with my beliefs I feel I am wrong in not going. My husband Started to go to church 10 months ago. He got baptized, born again Cristian. If he behaves he's definetly going to heaven. I don't have a chance unless I am born again. This is what I believe. What am I waiting for ? Don't know. But God isn't going to wait long. Am I prepared ? No. Am I worried of not going to heaven ? I should be.

Answer 5

I believe in God and that Jesus is his son. I was baptized in the father, the son and the Holy spirit. I attend a baptist church but coming to realize that I am non-denomination. I do believe I will go to heaven when I die, though I am looking forward to that, I do not want to die anytime soon. I am not only a good person, I live the word of God and I live right by God.

Answer 6

Christian based with several Oriental and Native American and other Ancient Ways beliefs thrown in for good measure into what I believe works for me because of my personal idiosyncrasies. all I know is when Death comes and this plane of existence is left behind my soul and spirit will go to another plane of existence. If I receive my choice will travel to a plane of existence where I want to live based upon how I feel and not because I am told to go to a specific place.

Answer 7

That in every religion in the world two things matter. That they are inherently self evident, and that they represent a guideline on how to achieve happiness. Using a quote from the movie K-PAX: "Every intelligent being in the universe knows right from wrong"

Answer 8

I am an atheist. I believe that the universe had no beginning and will have no end. I believe that the universe is infinite. I believe there is no heaven because the concept of heaven requires a system of universal rules of right and wrong, good and evil which I also don't believe in.

Answer 9

I do not claim a specific religion.
I believe the level of mankind's understanding corresponds directly to the extent of the freedom of inquiry which is held out to him.
I believe anyone who believes they have converted a person simply because they have silenced them is badly mistaken.
I believe enlightenment comes only with responsibility.
I believe you should know yourself before you presume to know another.
I believe you should never stop learning.
These are just a few of my beliefs.

Answer 10

I like the way bbjones9 answered.

I am a Christian because Jesus said He is the Way to Heaven, the Truth and the Life. The only way to get to heaven is to follow Jesus.

Romans 10:9-10 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you shall be saved.
