Also I heard that even of the people who believe in Jesus most of them will go to Hell anyway, cause they don't proclaim their belief loud enough and with enough emotion.
I heard that Jesus is not amused by people whose belief is not fervent and emotional, and they will join all unbelievers in Hell, where eternal torment awaits them and there is no night or day and the constant wails of tortured souls will not let anyone get any sleep anyway.
Question: Just how fervent and emotional must your belief in Jesus be, to assure you a place in Heaven?

Oh, extremely ferverant and emotional, to the point of annoying all those who you come in contact with.
Watch the movie "Left Behind." (or read the book) You pretty much have to be a fanatic to get in.

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 judgement. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defence for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
The words fervent and emotional are not brought up in scripture, but their is a verse that refers to "Luke warm Christians." Could that be the verse that you are referring to?
Rev 3:16 So, because you are lukewarn - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

Actually you have to go and kneel at the Baptist preacher's altar and do the special incantation, and then you are declared saved, and it is guaranteed.
Jesus mainly wants to know that you consider him to be the greatest. And the Baptist church has made a special deal with Jesus whereby you also get a holy pass on Judgment Day, allowing you to bypass the lines and go directly to Heaven.
All the people who don't have those passes go into the Judgment Hall at the end of the world, and their prognosis is not good. Most will end up in the eternal torment of Hell.
Contact your local Baptist church for details, and please have your credit card ready.

Yes, only those who put their trust in Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior will go to heaven. Those who do not accept Jesus will go to hell, and they will spend eternity separated forever away from God. (John 3:16-18, Revelation 20-21)
Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23
John 8 Says the whoever the son (Christ) sets free, is free indeed.
Everyone of us sins, and without Christ we are slaves to sin, and if we do not repent of our sins and ask Christ into our lives we will continue to be slaves to our sins, and if we die in our sins then we will be will out hope. There is only one hope this side of heaven for us to be saved and that is Jesus Christ. We only have this live to ask and accept Christ's forgiveness.

No it is a fact that only those who ask Christ into their hearts will go to Heaven. Believing in Jesus has nothing to do with it, you must know confess and believe in the Blood of Jesus. The demons in hell know that there is a God and and Jesus and a Holy Spirit and they tremble at the sound of the Names. Romans 10:9-13 will tell you all you need to know as for the other garbage you have heard you can do with it as you do with the rest of your garbage

...You folks obviously believe in some kind of "works" gospel - where God doles out brownie points based on our performance - and if our good outweighs our bad, then we will make it to Heaven, right?
...Wrong! The truth is, our works could never measure up to God's standard of holiness and perfection. No one, not one is fit for Heaven, observe:
...Romans 3:10 "There is none righteous, no, not one..."
...Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
...The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, by which we are saved for eternity, is as follows ( Corinthians 15:3-4):
...3 For I passed on to you first of all what I also had received, that Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for our sins in accordance with [what] the Scriptures [foretold],
...4 That He was buried, that He arose on the third day as the Scriptures foretold,
...Cooked up emotions, emotional fervor, and loud performances will never get you to Heaven; your faith (trust) must be in the Lord Jesus Christ alone, apart from any works - there is nothing one can add to Jesus's work on the cross - you must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved (Acts 16:31).

No. I do not believe that only people who believe in Jesus will go to heaven and the rest will be tormented in Hell. I believe that we all have a chance to go to heaven regardless of our religion.
Check out my question "Do you think the birth of the Red Heifer's born in the 1990's is proof that the Messiah is coming soon?" Read my comment section. There is an important message for everyone.
NOTE: Watch the developments that take place in Israel related to a Temple that is to be built on the Temple Mount in the very near future. The Antichrist is already here.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard today. Jesus looks at the heart of man not how loud his mouth is. People who love and trust in Jesus have nothing to fear. Faith in Christ is not hard. He holds you to Him, not you holding Him to you. Once, you understand that you have been born with a sinful nature and realize your need for a Savior just pray for Him to forgive you and ask Him to help you live your life. A four year old can understand the plan of salvation.

No one goes to Heaven unless Jesus allows it. They will believe, but I think the thing is, is by the time you die it is too late.
