Does a person need to have a "valid" religion to go to Heaven?

Answer 1

Yes because Heaven is a creation of religion. It is a part of it. The same as God. In every religion, God appears as a man with different faces, that holds the complete power and controls everything. But if you think God simply as a power (just as gravity is), then you dont have to believe in any religion because you dont define what this power is exactly. In any sense, God and Heaven have the same sense, just different forms. You just feel they exist.
Now the same happens with the concept of Heaven. If you think Heaven as a dimmension, then you dont have to believe in any religion.
"Heaven","God", they are invented for commercial reasons and to put people into groups because of personal reasons. For example, "OK, I dont like your religion, so I create one of my own to fight you back and show mine is better than yours"
Dont confuse God and religion. It is like giving different names for the same thing.

Answer 2

I did not come to God through any "religion" it was just God and me, but, I did have some instruction as a child so I did know Who was calling me and who responded to my cry for help... I now am part of a small concervative Baptist congrigation which I came to after receiveing my Salvation.
All who come to God in The Way He proscribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and be able to enter Heaven when their mortal time is done.... But you need to understand...you must come to God on His terms, not on yours, or by some man made doctrin or dogma.... God makes the rules, play by God 's rules or ultimatly suffer the concequences.

Answer 3

To get to Heaven, regardless of what church you attend, you must

1. Acknowledge your sinful nature
2. Ask Jesus to cleanse you of that sinful nature .. ask forgiveness
3. Ask Jesus to become your guiding force in your life
4. Be baptised in the Holy Spirit
5. Live according to Biblical precepts ... the Ten Commandments...to the best of your ability.

It helps to communicate with others who have accepted Jesus as their Savior ... where ever two or more are gathered, He will be in their midst.

Read your Bible .. you can start with the 8th Chapter of Romans, or any of the writings of Paul. His rite of passage from a killer of Christians to the most powerful witness Christ has given us, is inspirational and awe-inspiring. Every thing in the Bible was written for our edification ... you cannot experience anything that is not already covered within its pages.

Remember, you're not perfect .. just forgiven. You will probably stumble .. acknowledge your failure, pick yourself up and keep walking the Walk.

PRAY .. every day ... a simple 'Good Morning Lord! Do with me as you will' will make wonders happen.

Answer 4

Any God that would reward or punish someone based on what church they go to, which is essentially the same as where they were born and who they were born to, is no god worthy of worship.
However, since God could not possibly be like that (otherwise he wouldn't be God) then I would say the answer is NO.

The concept of one religion's practitioners being 'saved' or 'chosen' or 'true' and the rest being condemned is a purely man-made notion. Completely un-Godly in it's intent.

Answer 5

people get to choose were they go heaven or hell...be with god or be without....religion doesnt really matter

Answer 6

NO.

NOBODY CAN JUDGE YOU BECAUSE NOBODY IS PERFECT
NO ONE CAN SAY THAT YOU HAVE TO BELONG TO A RELIGION TO GO TO HEAVEN.

NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE TAKING A MATH CLASS IT MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO PASS IS NOT THAT EASY...........................

Answer 7

"Valid" reglions,, hmmph.. It's your faith that matters, not your religion. Either you're with god or you're not...
