And how do you define Christian? Are there really true Christians who follow their Jesus 100% and blinded "Christians" who accept Jesus but do everything opposite of what Jesus says? Because there are a lot of hypocrisy in this particular religion...maybe it's just the "blinded Christian" that is making it look dumb...

I agree that it is "blinded Christians" giving all Christians a bad name. I do not believe it is humanly possible to follow Jesus %100. If we could all do everything perfect, there would be no need for a savior, but even as a sinner if you have the will to try to accept Jesus, He will remove a lot of life's burdens from your shoulders. I strongly disapprove of people who use salvation as a license, to sin as much as they want. That is not what Christianity is for. Just like any group, you should not judge the whole for the words and actions of a few.

God said his sheep will come from many flock...judging Christianity or any religion is not for us to do, Jesus said "Judge not lest ye be judged". Maybe people are trying to what is right and just have really poor decision making skills, or maybe they are having a bad day (Christians are only human, ya know), or maybe they are ignorant to what they are doing, or maybe they are unworthy of the title of "Christian" and are self-proclaimed. I am not a "Christian". I love Christ and try to do my best to make the choices that he would make. My general experiences are this: if they claim they are "Christian", watch out, those people are usually self-proclaimed. True Christians are humble people and can usually be spotted helping out or quietly doing service where it is needed and would never say that they are "Christians" But I don't think that Heaven is just for "Christians", I think Heaven is for all people who love Christ and Heavenly Father and try to live a good life, and even for those who don't necessarily lead a "good" life but truly repent and believe that Christ was born, lived, and died on the cross for our sins. Just an opinion after scripture studies.

"The time is coming," declares the LORD , "when I will make a new covenant.
This new covenant allows any one outside of Israel to inherit Gods kingdom of the new Heaven and new Earth. Now who follows Jesus new covenant? What are the new laws Jesus laid down?
Jesus said to love our God with our whole being, Love your neighbor as yourself, and to preach the word.(Matt 22:37 Mark 16:15 II Timothy 4:1-2)
This surprisingly eliminates Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, and Jews who don't teach to preach the word.
But seems to be in agreement with Matthew 7:14 - "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
That leaves us with Baptists, Pentecostals, Adventists, Jehovah Witnesses, and Mormons.
Mark 7:13 says not to mix human traditions with the Creators. So we want to stay away from any thing that has been polluted with pagan beliefs.
The Worship of Mithros (Christmas), Day of the Dead (Halloween), The Spring Equinox of Ishtar (Easter), The Day Between Years (New years), Festival of Lights (St. Valentine's Day), The Feast of Brigid (the Pagan Trinity doctrine), Oimelc (ground hog day), Lughnasadh (Thanksgiving), ect....
What group is left over that does not participate in any of the above is your answer?

Well it depends on what kind of Christian you are. Technically their are two branches of Christianity. Catholicism and Protestant/Lutheran. Catholicism pertains only to those of the Catholic faith while Protestant/Lutheran is Baptist, Evangelistic, Protestant, Lutheran, Mormon, etc. The main difference is that Catholicism believes that the church as an institution is the cornerstone of your faith and therefore you must follow it, while the other branch believes that while a church helps create the community of faith, you can believe even if your neighbor doesn't.
there will always be people who say they have faith and yet follow none of the commandments, but as a christian it isn't ones place to judge another. Heaven is a reoccuring theme in every religion, the only difference would be the that of reincarnation.

that is a good question, i personaly disagree with many christian sisters and brothers thouth am christian too. I believe who ever believe in Jesus will go to heaven. It is hard to say the others will go to hell becasue judgeing is for God. We will know all this when Jesus comes back. In rome chpater 2 it talks about the ppl who dosen't know about christ that they will be judged according to the law they have... so every relgion say am the only one who goes there. God sees people's heart so he will decsied. How many ppl are christian i mean real one, God knows !!

A Christian is one who believes in Jesus. A Christian heaven is for christians. Human beings are not perfect therefore christians are not perfect. Sure, there is hypocrisy and everything else within christians. However, not all of us want to go to christian heaven. lol.

yes heaven is only for christians... before jesus came it was for anyone who followed god's will... but now as long as we are saved, we will go to heaven.....
and it doesnt mean ones that just say they believe jesus... they have to live it\
there is a difference between christianity as a religion and christianity as a way of life...
there are the people that follow christianity blindly, and those are the hipocrites, they say ther believe but they might be living a different life, and they are the ones that life christianity as a religion..
the others will live christianity as best as god wants us to, they may stumble, but their hearts are for the will of god.
it isn't us to judge who are the hipocrites or the real christians, and if you do, then you are just being a hipocrite yourself, but a true chrisitan will live it for the iwll of god.
only god knows our hearts, but it is also fellow chrisitians that are supposed to help set the example for the faith.

It is for followers of Jesus the Christ. There are Messianic Jews, an organization called, Jews for Christ. They do not adhere to Christian doctrines, but do accept Jesus as their Savior. That is all that is required. YBIC

We really can't say or judge who is a true christian. Only you can know about yourself and what you believe in your heart.
Heaven is not only for "christians" I believe that God is to good to send everybody that doesn't believe a exactly a certian way to hell.
