the concept of heaven and hell is a construct. You cannot be entirely sure on what or how because there are many coded messages on how to reach the goals or how to fail at this construct.
The only unifying message in religion, is ironically, the uncoded neural hardwiring message that does not preach of heaven or hell, but on the civil ways of human co-existance.
When there are many interpretations of a coded construct, when it claims to be an absolute contruct, by definition, it is prooved to be false. Therefore, your uncertainty reveals the greater flaw in the construct....maybe there is not a set construct of heaven and hell? if it was a set absolute construct, how could you be uncertain? things would have to be certain or there would be a margin for error of interpretation on part of the follower...and if that were the case, there would be error in the absolutism of such construct...and if such were the case, it would not be perfect, therefore not absolute...
therefore, your uncertainty only reveals the next step: abandon the notion of any absolutism of such a construct, and try, through dialogue, try to find God through the faculties given to you by him: your mind. Only through this process can you TRY tofind the absolutism, and this is called perfecting the equation.
God is perfect and you are not, therefore God is inherently unknowable to you, therefore uncertainty, is the only true path to God and his absoulte construct.
Hope this helped.
Besides, the construct, using human common sense, was written by humans, how can you expect humans, to know what happens after death, none of them have 'come back to tell those alive'...another reason for you to trust in your uncertainty, rather than in certainity, and that you have a flawed perception...
for true certainty, only comes with one perception, and there is no doubt....since that is not so anywhere on Earth, I would say trust in your uncertainty, to know that no one knows, and that your only honest path to knowing, is through your humility and acceptance of not knowing.

I will not go to either, neither heaven nor hell.
They are the concept of the imagination.
Imagination is you.
You are made up of elements and so you will remain.
Element can not be changed they can combine to make new forms,
but when broken down will still remain elements.

I KNOW Im going to Heaven. I have accepted Jesus as my Saviour and that is the only way to get there. Doesnt matter how good you are. If you dont believe and accept Him you have no hope.

"The kingdom of heaven is within you." Who said that? Oh, yes, it was, in fact, Jesus, according to the Bible. Are you calling him a liar? Or was he misquoted?
If he didn't lie, and was not misquoted, then heaven is within us right now. We must simply have to learn to be there, or that is, here now. "Oh, that magic feeling; nowhere to go."
The truth may be observed. Look. That's what you have eyes for.

I try hard everyday to be a good, honest, loving person
who prays, believes in God, was raised a Christian. One who hopes God will choose me for his Kingdom, when my time comes. It is not my right to say if I will or won't go to heaven..it is his right.

Um, is there a theology section? I don't think this question belongs in here ...

I am fond of that famous quote: "Hell is other people".
