Faith alone is not enough. James 2:17 says "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

Not all Muslims believe that Christians or Jews will go to Heaven. I think some of them, or even many of them, believe that only Muslims will go to Heaven.
And, not all Christians believe that only Christians will go to Heaven. For instance, the Catholic Church (to which I belong) says that it's possible for non-Christians to go to Heaven -- especially if they've had little or no opportunity to learn about Jesus.

I am a Catholic Christian. I will go to hell if I have not received forgiveness for all my moral sins before I die. I go to confession several times a year. I doubt I will go directly to Heaven right after I die because I don't have a perfect soul.
Your 1st sentence is wrong. Muslims don't believe that Christians, Jews and Muslims will all go to Heaven.

I don't quite understand the question. I think muslims believe Christians are evil; or at least some muslims believe that. In some countries, it is legal for a muslim man to kill his wife if she converts to Christian.

That's tricky to answer. If a christian believes they are going to hell , then they must believe they are doing something to go there. And if they are, then they should correct the flaw or give up their faith. Being "Saved through Jesus" is not a carte blanche as many who question this seem to think. "Faith without good works is dead". --St. Paul

Hopefully, a Christian knows that He can trust God at His word. Therefore, if God says, in John 3:16, "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whomsoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life", a person who has repented of their sin and believes in Jesus as their savior need never fear hell.

Jesus says that no one will see the Father except through Him. So, following Christ is the only way into heaven.

Well Christians can still go to hell if they reject God's forgiveness. Just because your a Christian doesn't mean you can kill as many people as you want and go to heaven. You have to be truly sorry for your sins nomatter wut religion you believe in. God will let those in heaven who believe in him and have been somewhat always been Jesus-like in their daily lives, and have a clean heart after they die. Just make sure you go to confession every few months and makesure you dont go"oh psh i can do any bad thing i want becuz i can just go to confession to be forgiven" thats is not how confession is, God knows if your sorry for ur sins and if ur not. If your not sorry then that is your own problem. That is my opinion.

Everybody goes to the KJV Hell when they die! Even Jesus did when he died. There is nothing hellish about it. It is a sleep-like state. The first resurrection can not start until Christ's second coming or presence; the general resurrection has to start even later.

If you know you are a Christian then you know you woudn't go to hell. Because it is through Jesus Christ that you are saved.

Jesus is the way and the truth and the life, no one will enter to the Father's house except through Him.
This explains it. No one will enter to heaven unless they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. : )
