Are you going to heaven for something you've done? Or is it a choice you made believe in the seemingly impossible? I say seemingly impossible because not everyone can reason that a God you cannot see came down in the form of a man, died on the cross, rose again, and opened up heaven for us.. And if you do believe this, then why can't we believe Him for the other things he tells us?

It's not whether or not you DESERVE to go to Heaven. Going to Heaven is not based on deeds or who was good and who was bad. God says that as long as you believe in him, and the fact that he sent his son Jesus to earth to save us from our sins, then you will go to Heaven. If God based it on deeds nobody would go to Heaven because we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. BUT HE LOVE'S US ANYWAY!!! He wants to have a personal relationship with us, no matter who we are or what we've done. So, in the end, as long as you believe that God sent Jesus to save us from our sins, and have a personal relationship with him, you're good to go....I hope that helped, I'll be praying for you....

I think I should go to heaven, if there is one. I feel I've done good, and will continue to do so, obviously I'm not perfect, but who is? Now I don't believe in Jesus Son of God, but why should that stop me, and really i don't want nothing to do with that heaven.
What i was thinking was that maybe i should spend a couple of years in a school like environment being showed all of my actions that hurt the earth and other people so i can feel remorse for anything wrong i may have done, and then the eternity of happiness, i'd be cool with that.

Going to heaven is based solely on faith. If you say you have faith then there will be evidence of it in your life, but that evidence doesn't open the door in heaven, it just shows you that God is preparing you for heaven. It starts in your heart. It's a growing process that ends on the day you die. And you can't reason your way into heaven either. The Holy Spirit convicts you of your sin and you fall on your face in utter, abject, horror at having offended God. And Jesus is the one who picks you up and walks with you through the rest of your life. It's not something you can reason by thinking about it, you just have to believe that when the Holy Spirit convicts you of your sin that Jesus will help you to your feet. You may find yourself in a really hard place. Everyone has experienced those times. But just call out to him and you will see that there is nothing that God has promised that you can not trust him for.

No I do not deserve heaven but none the less by the grace of God I will be there. It is because of nothing I have done but a gift from a loving God.

I will go to heaven because I kept my first estate and accepted God the Father's and God the Son's plan and came to this earth to receive a body and be tested. Also, I do not plan on becoming a Son of Perdition, which is the only thing that will keep you out.

no, I don't deserve to go to Heaven.
nothing I have done makes me deserving of Heaven.
It is not a choice I made.
I am going to Heaven because Jesus paid my sin debt in full on the cross at Calgary.
For that reason God will accept me as sinless.

Only God knows if I deserve to or not. I hope I do and I believe that I am making the necessary steps towards attaining exaltation in the Celestial kingdom. That's all I can do, try my best and hope and have faith that's enough.

Let's just say I'm making my reservation now and pray that God is making a place for me in Heaven.

Do you mean that believing in Him entails following His commands too?? If so Amen to infinity! And No I don't deserve Heaven.

I know I don't deserve to go to Heaven. However, I have been given the gift of salvation, through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Salvation is a gift, it is not earned (so that no man can boast).
What else can't you believe? Could you be more specific? Thanks ;o)
