If too enter heaven you must have a personal relationship with Christ does this exclude all other religions?

Answer 1

The answer is yes.
Biblical reference: Matthew 7:21-23
"Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, expel demons in your name and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness."
Not everybody claiming to be christian ...is christian.

Answer 2

Religion is a VERY tricky subject... There are those who believe their religion is the ONLY religion. In my opinion this simply cannot be true. This is how I personally see religion.

Say there is a room of 10 people, and a bowl of fruit in the middle. Someone tells these 10 people to circle around the box and that the bowl of fruit represents 'God'. The person them asks them to describe what they see...

One person sees bananas, red apples and an orange...

One person sees half an orange, some strawberries and some grapes.

One person sees a mango, the top of a banana and a green apple.

You see my point, everyone has the exact same 'God' in the center of the Universe. The Ultimate Power, the Source, the Universe is simply viewed different depending on where you are standing.

In doing research on many religions I've found that 'God' is within YOU. For you to have a fulfilled life you need to be at one with YOURSELF and you then are at one with 'God' or whomever you call him.

Answer 3

Technically, if one believes what you said and that the only way to have a personal relationship with Jesus is through Christianity, then logically the answer is yes.

Me, I don't believe that it is that simple. I think God will judge us on our entire beings; heart, souls, thoughts, actions, words, beliefs, etc. I have met Christians who act anything BUT Christ-like and I have met those of various other beliefs who are honestly GOOD people.

For me personally, I do believe that Jesus is the son of God and that following Jesus and his teachings will lead to God. But I don't think it's the only path - just the easiest, most direct.

Answer 4

Yes. Christ said I am the way the truth and the life. No way to father except through me. You cant get to God without christ

Answer 5

Yes. Christ himself said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me". Many religions are man made, only one is God made.

Answer 6

No, anyone can go to heaven. Buddhists go through a bardo to Nirvana. Devotees of Krishna go to Krishnaloka, the planet where Krishna lives. They say whatever divine being you think about when you leave the body, that's where you go.

We have to perfect ourselves before we enter heaven. Jesus let himself be crucified so that he could take our sins so that we can get to heaven through him without having to have loads of incarnations in order to dissolve our karma. I see heaven as the seven highest dimensions, it's big enough for Muslims, Jews and all the rest of them.

Answer 7

In a nutshell yes. He said that He is the way, the truth and the life. NO man gets to the father except through Him.

Answer 8

if you don't believe in religion, then you don't believe in Heaven, Christ as God or 'other religions'. So why ask?

If other religions don't believe in Christ why would they care if christians think they won't go to heaven eitherway?

Answer 9

According to some Christians.
Jesus was a Jew so he is probably excluded from the Christian heaven

Answer 10

Yes
