I decided to have Jesus become my savior. My parents don't know that I did. If I tell them, I think they would react weirdly ( we're asian) Someone help me! I REALLY want them in Heaven!

Pray for them, ask God to send someone they will listen to , to tell them about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm happy for you.

Who are you, or anyone else for that matter, to judge whether or not your parents will get into heaven? People wanting to play God was the original sin.
How do you know that Jesus would not accept a Buddhist? How do you know Jesus was NOT a Buddhist? Or a Taoist? There are amazing simlarities.
Why not live your life in such a way that your parents will rejoice and consider looking into this faith? But always start by accepting them just where they are.
Life is short. Don't waste the time with your parents trying to convince them to believe what you believe. Make your life a Gospel.

That's great that you've become a Christian! I think you should sit down and tell your parents what you have done. They can't prevent you from praying and believing in God. Explain to them exactly what made you become a Christian, and hopefully they'll put their faith in God also. If they don't do it right away, don't push them. It's their decision, and you can't force it. You can explain to them that Jesus died for our sins, and that he really wants them to be his children. I hope your parents become saved, I wish you the best!

Just continue to love and honor them. Pray to the God and allow the Holy Spirit to intercede. In time, they will observe the joy you have overflowing out of you living for God. Through you, let the love of Christ melt away the hardened exterior built up by the trials of life. They do not realize how thick the walls have become. He will work on softening their hearts and hopefully will lead them to conviction, surrender and repentance to Jesus Christ.
May God use your newfound love of Christ to lead your loved ones into the wonderful light!

If they don't beleive then they can't go to heaven, its not like you can bribe Christ to get them in or anything.
You should just tell them and explain it all to them. My friends family (whos Korean) has been interested in becoming christians for a few years now, and it was really awkard for them at first.

The most you can do for them is to pray ERNESTLY on your knees and from your heart for them. Try to live a life that would be an example of Christ for them. Then, you have to let the Holy Spirit do the rest.

You can not assure their salvation. They must make that choice themselves. I would suggest that you be honest with them...without being pushy about it.
Show them respect...as God tells you to do and pray to God/Jesus that he might open their hearts eventually. Show by example what being a follower of Christ means to you.

I'm so sorry your mind's been warped! Do you really think a 'loving' deity is going to torture them for eternity for not having a belief in anything that's never been shown to be true?

If christianity is real (which it isn't, of course) their parents, their parents' parents, and so on are being tortured by god for all eternity. That's the god you want to worship.
