Could you put your name in this verse and believe it...
For God so Loved Pete that give His only begotten Son that if Pete would believe in Him He would give Pete eternal life... Can you do that? If you can you have life not will have it but you have it now. You are just as assured of being with God in heaven right now as if you were already there... Jim

Whether you go to church or not doesn't get you into heaven. Jesus said, "I am the way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father but by Me."
We try to make it so hard, so many rules but it is very simple. Get a Bible and start reading in the New Testament, the book of John. You will find your answers there. It is about a relationship with God, that is the way to Heaven. Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him. God wants everyone to know Him and love Him. He loves you very much and made you a special person in His own image. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to go to church to get into Heaven. Church is good but it won't get you into heaven any more than going to McDonalds every day will make you into a hamburger! Think about it.

The only thing that will keep you out of heaven is denying Jesus Christ. If you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior you will go to heaven. Church is the way we worship God. Don't worry about church it will take care of itself. But you do need a way to worship And Praise God. Accept Jesus and he will give you the wisdom you need.

The only scripture I know of about going to be with the body says you should not refuse to go for a reason like a disagreement or that type of thing. God does not require we go to Church. The def of Church is the asembly of believers so unless you avoid other believers I can not see how it would be a problem

First we need to clear up what is a church, it is not a building, if two or more are gathered in His name that is church, church is the gathering of the saints, soooo you will not go to hell and no it is not a sin, just make sure you stay in fellowship with others that love God, in your home.

have you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior?
if you have then yes, there is a place in Heaven set aside for you
but church is a place to gather and worship and a place for edification and encouragement
it's a place to get filled up after dealing with the world everyday that has drained you
pray about what church God wants you to get plugged into and try to go

Believing in God will not get you to heaven and niether will going to church. The bible says that the only way to heaven is through faith in Jesus Christ (God's son.)
John 5:24 "I (Jesus) tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, so that everyone who believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

personally, i don't believe in heaven and hell or any kind of afterlife, but i respect that you do.
i believe that if you live a good life, and are a caring person in general, whether religious or not, you will be rewarded
and this goes for people who don't believe in god too
if you are a good person
good things will happen to you
but you shouldn't be doing good things for the sake of going to heaven, because doing something for self gain defeats the purpose of the good deed
you should live a good, productive life as a generous, giving, caring person for the sake of being good and kind, not because it will lead you to some "end reward" like heaven

Possible. Especially if one is trying to avoid the 7 deviations (in the USA presently) to God's word and people 'preaching' based on those deviations.

Jesus, said, “Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Jesus did not point to a certain church.
