Guess what ?
I do include God in my life and still Im going to hell.
These people that say If you don't believe in God then you're going to hell ,this really drives me nuts.
Also what they are doing is judgeing which is a sin in itself.
There is such a thing as people following Gods words without even realizeing it and without believeing in his existence.
The truth is some people would have a better chance in going to heaven then I ever would.
Lets say I did every sin in the book except I believed in GOD.
Well the Devil does the same thing.
Now lets say a person didn't believe in God but never did any other sins.
Who would you think has a better chance going through the pearly gates.
NOT ME!!

Even Pat Robertson has said there will be people who aren't Christians who go to Heaven, and people who call themselves Christian who go to Hell.

Hee hee. There are actually people answering that it's alright to commit all sorts of criminal acts - as long as the people committing those acts believe in God, they will be saved. Wow, that's funny.
And scary. Heaven sounds like it'll be full of child molesters, rapists and murderers. Hell seems a hell of a lot more welcoming than that. You grab the Jack Daniels and an ounce of the good ganja. I'll get the matches.

In answer to your question: a true child of God who has repented of all of your sins, even the ones you cannot remember will go to Heaven, according to God's word.
We as humans do sin daily, some not intended. That is why God;s word says, We all have sinned & come short of God. After repentances your heart has changed and all of things you use to do, will no longer be important. Read His word and pray daily. Ask for wisdom & guidances. Fine a wonderful Church where the power of God is flowing.

Truthfully, according to some passages in the Bible and scriptures, God is said to judge everyone in our entire history who has lived, and grant only 140,000 people into heaven by the time the 'world ends' so it doesn't matter how good you have been, everyone will be going to hell.
When people say if you don't believe in God, then you are going to hell, that also irritates me and agree that they are sinning because they are judging people for themselves when they have no right to judge anyone but themselves.
Everyone in the world sins, every minute of the day, from the smallest thought of thinking someone is cute in a television show, swearing, even saying "geez", because that is the same as saying "Jesus," no matter what we do, we can't get away from sinning and the way the Bible says that you can cast all your sins away is a contradiction, like every other passage it says.

No person is without sin (except Jesus).
Jesus is the only way to heaven.You can't do your own thing and decide how you want heaven to be entered (only God can decide who can enter).The Messiah Jesus is the only way to the father and heaven.Not my judgement that is what Jesus himself said.The PC world today says everyone can decide what is right in their eyes and how they want God to be.God never accepted Isreal when they tried to do what was right in their own eyes and Jesus rejected the religious leaders when He was on the earth for trying to believe as they wanted.The bible says the lake of fire was created for the devil and his fallen angels (and those whose names aren't in the Lamb's book of life.

Well that's the problem...you need to believe that Jesus is the son of God an that is the true messiah. That's something the devil doesn't believe. That's all you need. And sorry about the people judging you...some just don't know any better.

I don't know why you think you are so bad. What you say is true. Faith is proved by works. Jesus said in Matthew 25 that those who do good to others are doing good to Him even if they don't know it. God is not impressed by belief without obedience. There are many verses I could quote for that.
Still those who say we are saved by His forgiveness are right too. If you believe in God as you say, You should not neglect to humble yourself and ask for forgiveness. You will receive it.

now listen carefully.
believing in God does not get you to Heaven.
it is not what "those people" say that matters.
it is what God says!
here is exactly what God says in His own words:
John 3: The Words of Jesus Christ (God in the flesh)
3. "Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus saith unto Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
16. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18. He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
There is NO other way to Heaven.
God says so.

Everyone who has herd of JESUS CHRIST has the same chance of going to Heaven. That includes you. As god said," All have sinned and come short of the Glory of GOD. In the old testament they sacrificed the blood of animals to cover sins. In the new testament the blood of JESUS was shed to wash away sins. Read JOHN 3:16 and get your one way ticket to Heaven. It's already paid for, and its free.

Even the demons believe in God.
You can believe in a parachuit when you know the air plane you are in is crashing, but that doesn't save you.
Or you can not believe in the parachuit, either way you will die by your own choice.
"For it is by Grace that we have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast."-Ephesians 2:8-9
We are all sinners... we cannot obtain forgiveness... we just have to accept God's grace, Christ.
We cannot do good to get to heaven....
We do good because we are saved, not in order to be saved.
Think of it this way. If you don't believe in God... why do you believe in heaven?
Either way... God exist whether you believe it or not...
We choose to go to hell by refusing God... by refusing Christ.
Where do we go when we die, if we didn't accept God's grace?
we can't stay with God, because in life we chose to refuse him...
We chose hell. Hell= away from God.
forget the flames and suffering.... being away from God forever is hell enough for me.
I chose Christ... I am foriven, and I know God.
