I have asked similar question if there is anyone in this forum can guarantee that if I follow their belief will there be a guarantee that it will bring me into Heaven. The answer is no, no one in this forum can guarantee I am looking for. Then...
If we cannot be 100% certain with what we believe, why cant we be modest in accepting differences?

Can you give gurantee that you will live up to 100 years, sorry atleast tomoro? You cannot right? Since you cannot guarantee your own life, how can you expect somebody to guarantee heaven which is not within their hands? How birth and deaths are not in the hands of the human, the same way Heaven and hell too are not in the hands of any people, it is in the hands of the one who is holding the birth n deaths, i.e GOD.
Different religions show you different paths to reach one and only GOD, you can find out with your intelligence, common sense and understanding which one can help you to reach GOD at its best way. There is Islam,which proclaims "There is no GOD, but Allah" and Christianity, where by accepting Jesus you get blessed and so on... it is upto you to find the truth, if you want to be an athiest, you can chose that one also, GOD has given us freedom to chose our own destiny, so bro chose the right one and be the winner in both the worlds,,,!!!!

That is true. Jesus said we have to remain faithful until the end of our life and then it is up to God judging our hearts as to whether we gain a heavenly or paradise earth experience.
There are precious few guarantees in life. Only one we can count on is that God and Jesus keep their promises.
The thing is, you can guarantee you will not have a chance if you hear what God requires and turn it down. Right now, common sense tells us if a boss has a certain way he wants his employees to do the job, if they do not follow his way, they are fired. Why would anyone think God would do any less? Right now people are being told from the Bible what God wants. It also says to always be ready to make a defense for our faith. That requires, not just meaningless repetition, but having understanding in your heart to accomplish this.
If you see someone about to injure himself, do you stand back and laugh? Or do you yell and pull him to safety?

Because as far as some people are concerned, yes, they CAN guarantee it. Some people have no doubt whatsoever that their faith is the only path to heaven and that all others are false. So of course these people are more than willing to defend their religion and to attack any other.

No religion takes you to Heaven. You must be saved by the Grace of God to enter Heaven. Religion does nothing but confuse people. Salvation through the Blood of Jesus is the true way to Heaven.

Why is it all about the afterlife?
What about what helps people in this life? Or have people given up on the concept, seeing as they can't explain their religion to themselves either?
If people are really relying on their jobs, hobbies, money etc. to keep them entertained, then they're not exactly going to be able to convince anybody else that the benefits of being religious will come any sooner than the next life, are they?

It is not for man to guarantee you heaven.
Yet it is part of your duties to defend your faith.

People will not guarantee it, because it is not their decision. They will tell you, if you choose to listen, that their God will guarantee it, and has, if you do as you are told.

You know, anyone can tell you it's great in Hawaii, but you still have to buy your own ticket.
