Roads can lead to heaven if you believe and do what God says, but if you don't believe and don't follow good examples, then it's impossible. But for me there is one.

There is two parts to my answer:
First part from a Christian perspectus: No. The road to heaven is through Christ.
Second part also form the Christian perspectus. We don't what the criteria for non Christians to get to heaven. God, not man, judges. Heaven is where God is and hell is where God is not. Earth is where we are. Our goal is to be with God.
Belief in God is a good starting place. But I don't think you should stop there.

Most people think that. All one has to do instantly is to believe..if you died immediately after believing you just might end up there. If we live longer we have to read what comes next....narrow is the path and not many find it...I guess that means we are to study..learn about God, grow to love Him, obey Him and spread the good news...and noone will mind if they truly love Him..
Satan believes in God..after all satan was in heaven with God remember....satan also knows the Bible back the front...
My suggestion is that people who believe all they have to do is believe and go on doing everything they want..need to look a little further in scripture.

Wrong, on a number of counts.
If you believe in God and there isn't one, you (and everyone else) aren't going to heaven on that ground.
If you believe in God and there is one, you had better be aligned with the correct character and requirements of said deity. Different sacred texts vary markedly on this, and they can't all be right, unless you declare them all wrong in some respect (which will not endear you to the deity which had perfectly inspired ONE of them).
So no, a vague general belief in a deity hardly suffices on any count. You have to investigate, and commit.
The bible, just to take the handiest example, is very firm on people who are "luke-warm" They will be "spat out," .rather than welcomed in.

Good question. According to Christ "belief" isn't even close he said "you will "know" the "truth" and the "truth" will set you free. He also said "the kingdom of heaven is within you". Think about this. All the great spiritual masters say the same thing. So it's the inner path that leads to heaven.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

The road that leads to heaven is the road that leads to heaven.
This means that people who lead other people astray by saying "doing this will lead you to heaven" are not following the road to heaven.
This means that people who 'condemn' other people to ensure their own heavenly 'place' are not following the road to heaven.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The road to heaven is paved with good actions.

Do all roads lead to New York? No. Same with heaven.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
If there was another way to heaven, Jesus suffered and died for nothing.

certain, all roads convey about Heaven, each and every of the diverse books are diverse paths, given to loopy at diverse cases in diverse areas of the international, the concept anybody e book is extra effective than yet another is between the important causes there's a lot confusion contained in the international. It makes me unhappy to work out Christians claiming in user-friendly words their e book is ideal and Muslims doing an same, at the same time as will all of them strengthen up. i do no longer trust in 1000's of years that ony Jesus has visited us over 2000 years in the past and in user-friendly words Mohammed spoke to god 1500 years in the past, that makes various empty time without visitations, messages, or encouragement, all of us who thinks God might want to go away us this lengthy on our own is a sad man or woman certainly and does no longer recognize Gods authentic love. He has been sending us messages for milleniums yet each and every faith has claimed it for his or her own and has, finally, distorted it and used it for his or her own purpose, those are the human beings i worry the most for, the human beings who really could have plenty to respond to to at the same time as they are confronted with the gates of heaven. Atheists can a minimum of declare to have investigated and became their decrease back on faith, non secular human beings haven't any excuse. they have knotted up the international bold to apply Gods call as an excuse, and that is going for all religions! I pity the non secular fool more advantageous than the atheist.

Actually this is not anywhere in the Bible. In fact, Jesus said that the road to "life" is narrow and few are the ones finding it, but the road to "destruction" is broad and spacious and the ones traveling it are many. (Paraphrased except for quotation marks)
