We cannot go to heaven by our works. Its our acceptance of Christ that gets us through the gate. Cheers!

The truth is that I cannot tell you if you will go to Heaven just from that information. You mentioned everything good about yourself but none of your faults. Also, you didn't tell us why you don't pray. The only virtue that I can see that will get you to heaven is "non judgemental"
Jesus said that the way you judge others is how you will be judged. So based on that, I'd say your chances of heaven are good.
As for the rest: A loving Mother. Of course Mothers are supposed to love their childdren. Even sinful people can do that.
Faithful to your husband. Does that mean everyone who doesn't commit adultry goes to heaven? What if a wife beater never cheats on her?
Do not steel. Big deal. People who steal should be locked up. That doesn't mean the rest of us are OK.
I could go on, but you see the point. We are all sinners in need of forgiveness. Now I'm not going to say that people who are good go to hell because the Bible doesn't teach that. Every passge that speaks of Gods' punnishment, speaks only of the evil and the wicked. And Yet rightousness comes not from our being good enough, but from Gods forgivness. God may have forgiven all your sin inspite of the fact you didn't pray to Him for that, but I gotta tell you this. Praying to the One who loves you and offers you the forgivenss of sins, certianly cannot hurt your chances of getting into heaven!

Ask God almighty to help you find your answer. He leaves a lot of information and help in the Bible. Or ask a pastor to help you get started. The pastor will most likely tell you about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, also known as the Good News. But although you don't pray there is always a first time. All you need to do is talk to God like you're talking to us. Bring Him your question and keep asking and keep searching for the answer. Jesus said knock and the door will be opened to you. I'll pray that you find the answer.

The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."
The Muslim observes his Prayers to show devotion and obedience to Allah, because Prayer is one of the greatest forms of worship that Allah likes His servants to offer.
To thank Him for creating us in the best form of creation.
Because He has guided us to the Deen (Complete way of Life, Religion) of Islam.
Prayer is a chance for a Muslim to express to his Lord whatever he feels and needs through Divine Words of Allah i.e. the Qur'an.
To remember his Lord and not forget His commands amid life's pre-occupations.
To ask Allah, The Exalted, to give him aid and continuous guidance in the darkness of life.
To strengthen love and fear of Allah in the Muslim's heart so that he might remain sticking to the Right Path of Islam, and its laws and manners.
Gaining good rewards from Allah and having our sins forgiven.
To rejoice when he finds himself on the Last Day pleased with the great reward allotted to him in the Gardens of Bliss.
Prayer is a unique training and developmental program which, if well and devotedly performed, can achieve for Muslims many valuable physical, ethical and spiritual gains such as cleanliness, health, order, punctuality, brotherhood, equality, social consolidation,… etc.

Christianity claims that it owns Heaven so, if you don't do what they tell you, they say that you can't come in. However, other faiths have found a loop-hole. Just be a good person and you are assured entry. Christianity can't own heaven because good people were going there before Christ was born.

Jesus Christ is the key, He alone is the doorway to heaven. Your statements make you "good" in societies eyes, but what you should be looking at is what is good in God's eyes. Read His word, seek Him....it is not a matter of works, but rather one of faith. You are doing what all humans know to do from birth (most just get side-tracked). I applaud you as that is rare. Now, seek God and be saved from the second death; the death of your soul.

Seeing how you don't pray (assuming you don't attend church either), do you believe there to be a heaven? If you believe in your heart that you are a good person, I think you will go to a better place, be it heaven or whatever.
Oh, and my bf just informed me: according to South Park, only Mormons go to heaven. lol

ours work do not save us- we can only be saved and go to heaven- if Christ is our Savior. No one is perfect- except Christ- we can never be good enough. I do hope that you are a loving mother and a faithful wife- but that will not save you-

god is love
a life lived in service [love] is allways accorded heaven
it is that we do for others that carries weight
our past good loves
as well as our past hates
what we do for others has worth beyond price every good [as well as every bad] is repaid ten times over
those who even do one good gain merit ,just of the singular good ,do ing good to others is its own reward
but to whom much was given
much is expected
you who gave love shall find each love fullfilled ;a delectable fruit in heaven
just as vile [evil/sin/]has its own bitter frit
as we judge other so accords our place with same ,
all bigetts go to the same hell
gods house has many rooms
good has good reward
those who are faithfull in the little things
to them more shall be given
do not wish to go to the ''heaven'' of the rightious
,it is full of rightious people being rightious
[we would call it hell ]
they call it heaven
there are infinate rooms in gods house
there they are called realm
visit angel fire web ,there are free down loads fror testimony from people who report about the after life
much as swedenborg reported in his arcania celesta ,and his work ''heaven and hell'
[not at angel fire]
but
gone west
heaven and earth
a wanderer in the spirit lands
more light
life in the world unseen
here and herafter
and
more of the world unseen are
they encompass many of the hells and heavens in good simple biographical testiment.

the only way to go to heaven is accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior and surrender your life to him and ask for forgivness of your sins, the rest dosent matter as long as your hearts for God. Im not saying you should go murder someone after your saved, but he will still and always forgive you.
