With so many religions, how can any one religion claim to be the only one that gets in?

If you walk around blindly believing that just because you've attached yourself to a "title" of a religion that you will get into heaven then you won't.
Heaven is reserved for those that live their lives the best they can, love their fellow man, and don't judge. I don't care who you sleep with or how often you attend church- if you're good you're good and if you're not you're not.

It's not religion that gets one into heaven.
The qualification for heaven is a Christlike character. A Christlike character is the only kind of character that would enjoy heaven and the only kind of character that could be safely trusted in heaven.
This character may be developed before a person dies if he or she chooses to cooperate with God throughout their lifetime in stiving for moral excellence.
God will not take religions to heaven; it is people who will live there. But the people who will be there will not be controlled by the principle of selfishness.

With so many religions, it is up to man to put all those religions, and their leaders or prophets up to the test. There is one religion, that does stand the test, over time, the text, and its leader. Study up, its fascinating. IF there is a God, he can be found, and wants to be. If you want the truth, you will find it if you seek it. It is worth any effort.

It is simple, most religions have some or all of the pagan beliefs, which is what God says is false religion. The only true religion is the one that obeys all of Gods word, not just what they wish to follow but all of the Bible, and the only way to know which is to one true religion is to STUDY your Bible for your self (not just read it, but compare verse to verse, precept to precept). That way you will know what it is that God wants from you, and how He wants it.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Those who do not obey God...
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

There is only One God. One Spirit of God and a soul in each of us. and many paths back to God and heaven, In my fathers House are many mansions said Jesus.It would be crazy to think that any one religion is somehow the best one and the only one to bring us back to God realization. the only one to learn spiritual ways.the only one to bring us to heaven.God loves everyone. and wonts us to be with him in heaven.all we need Do is love God and ask for the Spirit to guide us.and listen for this guidnace, in ourselfs. and try to do Gods will. and be with us and it will. it will be there when we die and will take us home.I have total complete faith in God.

If you love Jesus, and accept that he was born of a virgin (it's called a miracle) concieved through the Holy Spirit. But as Jesus Himself said, if you really love Him you will do as He asks, so that's part of it too

Who gets in is up to Jesus but, some have inside information. Like the Catholics.

The spiritually enlightened get there and religious belief is ultimately a non-issue.
