Dear evilbunny,
The only way for one to get into heaven is to have his/her sins paid for. One must spend eternity in hell for just one sin. However, if you could find a substitute to take your place and pay for your sins, then you cn enter heaven. The Only One that is able to do that is the Lord Jesus Christ. He has chosen those whom He determined to save before the foundation of the world. However, that does not necessarily exclude you, because God is no respector of persons. Read the Bible slowly and prayerfully asking the Lord to have mercy on you. You see, every human being is born spiritually DEAD in sins and trespasses (Ephesians 2:1-3). The spiritual death is also referred to as deaf, blind, lame, or having an incurable disease. A "spiritually DEAD' person cannot hear God nor obey His commandments. That is why every person needs salvation ie., to be saved from their sins. When Christ saves an individual, He gives them a new resurrected heart in which they love the Lord and have a strong desire to obey His commandments. What so many people do not understand is that this is completely the work of God. We can do NOTHING to get ourselves saved. These people who say that they "accepted Jesus" or spoke in tongues, or gave a testimony before the church, or were baptized in water do not understand what salvation is. They think they can earn it or some "feeling" they get means that they were saved. ALL of this is FALSE. They are following the false gospels of their church or pastor and it will lead them right to hell. Please read John 1:13 or Romans 9:13-33.
The Bible says in Romans 10:17, "So then, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." There is only One who is faithful. That is Christ (Revelation 19:11). So then, Christ cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. As I said, read the Bible slowly and carefully. Pray and ask the Lord to have mercy on you--a sinner. Next take a look at Lamentations 3.

To learn and practice the teachings in the Holy Books of the Messengers of the One True God. We realize heavenly bliss right here and now; it is not some thing far away in time and space. Heaven is not a place, it is the state of mind.

I think people must realize that the human cocept of god and heaven might be mistaken , too many people have died in the name of religion, so we are clear 1 person is too many, and grasp the idea if we were not meant 2 be different we would not be of so many colors, sizes and shapes, so with that my belief is that mean people suck and that being kind doesn't cost a thing, showing common decency and integrity, teaching your kids how 2 be loved and 2 love in a kind fashion and to treat others in a way you would want them to treat you and your loved ones is the way if in fact heavenis our utimate goal

I know we get into heaven by excepting Jesus Christ in our hearts and having a personal relationship with Him. Also by obeying God's Laws (commandments) and reading the bible. You also need to pray daily because you can't have a relationship with someone without talking to them and that is how you talk to God through Jesus Christ so close prayer in His name (Jesus). Also remember no sin is allowed in heaven so ask for forgiveness of your sins every time you sin. But don't take advantage of it because God can see what is truly in your heart. Another words don't sin purposely over and over and think it is OK because you asked for forgiveness. Great Question!!

Believe that God sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross for your sins- and that He did die and rose again 3 days later just as the scriptures say. To repent of sin and follow the Lord- for He is the only way to Heaven- it is only through Jesus Christ.
Jesus says:
"I am the only way, truth and life, no one comes to the Father but through Me" -John 14:6
Do you know you have sinned and fallen short of God's glory? Romans 3:23
We all need forgiveness for we have all sinned against God. And one sin is enough to keep you out of Heaven. For one must he clean, and redeemed and it is only through the shedding of blood that you can be saved- and Jesus Christ was that one sacrifice- he took our sins upon Himself, so that we could be set free from sin and those who believe in Him will be saved- given eternal life- Heaven with Him forever after they die. It is a free gift! You cannot earn your way into heaven- for it is only by the grace of God one is saved when you believe in Him (Ephesians 2:8). What an awesome thing God did! We dont deserve it. So to be born again in the Spirit of God- washed clean, forgiven- when you confess your sins to the Lord and believe in what He did for you. Then you receive the Holy Spirit- and are given everlasting life.
John 3:3 says "Unless you are born again, you cannot see the kingdom of God"

Revelation says only 144,000 were picked out by God to be in heaven (small flock), they will be king and high priests who will help Jesus rule his Kingdom. And there is another group (large crowd) which no one was able to number who will live on the paradise earth, they will be the subjects of Jesus' rule.
Personally, I do not want to go to heaven because only spirits can live there and spirits don't eat, sleep, etc...Id rather experience paradise on earth where there is abundant food, peace, and all good things that we do not have in this time. =)
what about you?

Heaven is God's home so the people that go to God's home are those that want a personal relationship with Jesus as their Lord and Savior. After all, why should God invite people who don't want him to be part of their lives on earth?

If you mean why,I can tell you why I have a right but for anyone else that's not my call.I have a right because I believe the word of God,that word is Jesus , he talks to me and the personal relationship I have with my savior is what makes me know that I know I am in his kingdom now and for eternity.
