Anyone who puts their faith in God the way a small child puts their faith in a parent goes to heaven.
How many small children who have complete faith in their parents do you see committing suicide?
Jesus said, "I judge not and if I do judge it is not I who judges but the Father who judges in me."
You either have the Holy Spirit or not. You either know God is witnessing through you or you don't. I have to tell you though, I wouldn't say he was if he wasn't. That would be bad for anyone who did works in Christ's name and never knew Christ.
Like people who forget Paul was a sinner, Paul who did not do what he knew was right and did do what he knew was wrong and was still an Apostle of Christ. Paul committing sins he knew were sins didn't keep Paul from Christ.
Oh, you just want to ignore the whole scripture about the faith of a small child. I get it. Pick and choose, add a little here, take some away there. Create your own recipe for Christianity and then judge people using it while you probably berate people for being judgmental.
Yeah, I get that.

No, most christians will not go to heaven, only a very limited number of anointed christians will go to heaven and they have a specific job or purpose there...
Revelation 5: 9 & 10: "And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10Â and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”
Revelation 14: 3 & 4: "And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth. 4Â These are the ones that did not defile themselves with women; in fact, they are virgins. These are the ones that keep following the Lamb no matter where he goes. These were bought from among mankind as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb,"
Revelation 20: 6; "6Â Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years."
And for the rest of the Christians, they have everlasting life on a restored earth, this earth...
Psalm 72:8; "8Â And he will have subjects from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth."
Psalm 37:9-11 & 29: "For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. 10Â And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11Â But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. 29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon "

People who have put their faith in Christ will go to heaven no matter what their previous sins were, and people who don't believe in Christ will go to hell no matter how many good deeds they have done. We would actually be surprised at some of the people who are in hell and some of the people who are in heaven. We look at the goodness of a person and attempt to weigh their worthiness for heaven by how good they were. God says all of our goodness is nothing more than filthy rags. We can never be good enough for heaven. That's why Christ paid our way there, because He was good enough. As to why we are still here; it's so we can try to convince more people to go to heaven with us. We are witnesses of what Christ has done in our lives and we are supposed to testify to others about it.

Once a person has acknowledged in their heart that Christ is their savior, they are then in a position to have their sins forgiven. However, whether or not the person is a true Christian depends on whether or not they "repent" of their sins, not just giving lip service to God. If a person does not feel sorry for what they did and does not make a committment not to do it again, they have not repented and they will not be forgiven for it. I call these types Sunday Christians because they act all Christian in church but live their life anyway they choose the rest of the time. These are the ones that Christ referred to when he said: "I never knew you."

The Bible says that all who have placed their faith in Christ and what He did for them on the cross will live eternally with Him in Heaven.
Why are we still here? Because our moment of passing has not arrived. Our lives are like sand in an hour glass. It is only when the last grain as fallen that we will be free from this body.

Theists "say" that, supposedly, God forgives all! However, I think this is a silly concept, because it gives the notion in people that no matter what you do, you will always be forgiven. I've seen enough deceitful people in my day to know that those who ask for forgiveness aren't always sincere. Thus, AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, you will be forgiven of your most atrocious deeds.
I don't understand this logic, because it would allow Hitler into heaven so long as he believed in God. Is that positive?

There are many who say they are Christian and are not, they will come before Jesus and he will say to them 'I never knew you'.
We continue with this life until it is our time because we are required to endure until then, otherwise yes we would much rather prefer to be on the other side.

How come a sinner go heaven? They are going to hell, no matter they are Cristian, Muslim, Hindu or atheist. Sinner means the heart is contaminated, nobody go to heaven with contaminated heart.
