Well, according to Christians, Gandhi is in hell. So yeah, you'd probably be packing your bags for the old Lake of Fire, too.

You are not a Christian if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord of your life.
Being a really nice person does not get you in Heaven. God's standards are higher than you might expect - perfect! Are you perfect?
The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." The consequence of sin is death and eternal torment in hell. The good news is God provided a way out. Jesus Christ took your punishment when he suffered and died on the cross. He defeated death by rising from the dead. You must repent (turn from your sins) and trust in Him to save you. It is not just a one time prayer - it is a whole new life of faith as you seek to follow Jesus and obey his commands. Do it today because you never know what tomorrow may bring.

I can answer you according to the Bible. It is like this: there is one door to Heaven(God's Presence). No one can enter any other way. This way is Jesus.
Good deeds and kindness are great but they can not give you entrance into God's presence. It is His rules: only through His Son and His love, no other.
The deeds and acts are to flow from a loving relationship with Him. He wants to be the source for all these things in your life. It is His love that empowers you to love and serve others from a pure heart motive. He does not expect you to be able to do this on your own!

Afraid so! you can do all the kindness you want to; you can help people all you want. and that is good that you do; BUT, unless you repent of your sins, and be baptized in His name which is Jesus Christ; you will not go to heaven, for sure.
Lest ye have the faith as of a grain of mustard seed, you will not enter the gates of Heaven.

yes, off to hell with you for eternity, Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the light, he that believeth in me and love me and submit to me, shall get a free pass to heaven but the gate is narrow, the rest of you will gladly be granted your wish to spend eternity in hell. God gave us free will to choose.

The honest no judgemental truth is Jesus is the only way to the Father (GOD). Works or being good is great but it will not get you into heaven. Just believing in God does not work but please take a minute to read how to become a Christian and join me in heaven.
How to Become A Christian
You're not here by accident. Jesus loves you, and He wants you to have a personal relationship with Him. There is just one thing that separates you from God. That one thing is sin.
People tend to divide themselves into groups - good people and bad people. But God says that every person that has ever lived is a sinner, and any sin separates us from God. That includes you and me.
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
According to man's rules, people should be punished or rewarded according to how good they are, and it might be hard for you to understand how Jesus could love you when other people don't seem to. But I have great news for you! Jesus DOES love you! More than you can ever imagine! And there's nothing you can do to make him stop!
Are you thinking that you should make things right in your life before you come to Jesus? Many people feel that way, but that's not what God says!
"God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
For you to come to God you have to get rid of your sin problem. But God says that you can't make yourself right with God by being a better person. God wants to save you JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!
"He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy." Titus 3:5
It's God's grace that allows you to come to Him - not your efforts to "clean up your life" or work your way to Heaven. You can't earn it. It's a free gift.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
For you to come to God, your sin must be paid for. God's gift to you is His son, Jesus, who paid the debt for you.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
Jesus paid the price for your sin and mine by giving His life on Calvary's cross. God brought Jesus back from the dead and paved the way for you to have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus.
All that's left for you to do is to accept the gift that Jesus is holding out for you right now.
"If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans 10:9-10
God says that if you believe in His son, Jesus, you can live forever with Him in glory.
"For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16
Are you ready to accept the gift of eternal life that Jesus is offering you right now? If it is your sincere desire to ask Jesus to come into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior, then talk to God from your heart:
Here's a Suggested Prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal life. But, I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in Heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I am now placing my trust in You alone for my salvation and I accept your free gift of eternal life."
If you have trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you to grow spiritually.
If you have questions or concerns you would like help with, please call or write and let us know. We're here to help you understand the love that Jesus is offering you for free, no matter who or where you are. E-mail us at info@sbc.net, call (615) 244-2355
... may God richly bless you!
