Answer 2

It depends who you ask.

The protestants usually say no, because their doctrine is that faith alone gets you into heaven. Unless, of course, you never had the opportunity to hear about god... like a baby or a remote indigenous culture. But mostly, if you heard about god and rejected him (by not being a christian) then you can't go to heaven.

The catholics are a little different, as their doctrine is that salvation is dependant on both faith and works. If you are a christian but don't act well, you don't get in. But you can get in if you were pre-Jesus and accepted god when he went to preach in hell (part of the three days that Jesus was dead), and you may be able to get in if you were a baby or an indigenous person, but then you're more likely to go to limbo (a step up from hell). But if you decided to reject god, again by not being a christian, then you can't go to heaven.

Answer 3

Heaven is here and now look inside yourself to find heaven were the words of Jesus so why do christians say go to heaven if it's inside them ? personally if the fairytale outlook of death before heaven made even a little sense I wouldn't want to be in a place full of Christian devils anyway.

Answer 4

It is my belief that a lot of people will be surprised about who actually gets into Heaven. Someone once told me that an atheist has a better chance of getting into heaven than most Christians he knew.

Answer 5

Dear Friend,

The Bible teaches us very few goto heaven. The Bible and Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God, which is when Gods origonal purpose for the world will be realised, i.e. man will live forever in perfect peace on a paradise earth, and God himself will be with them.

The answer to your question is Yes! Jesus came to save non Christians (Sinners) not those of us who are already saved! We can not earn or work our way into heaven, it is Gods free gift, and is non revocable, all we have to do is this:

Romans 10:9
That 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.

We are all imperfect, and once saved we are still sinful, but through faith in Jesus, we are forgiven our sins, not by our own effort, but by the love of God.

So the answer is Yes, if they do the above.

God Bless

Answer 6

If heaven were simply a figment of the imagination then anyone could imagine themselves there, in whatever desire induced construction they chose...but in reality people have no power to actually get there, and cannot make this wishful thinking a reality...so it is only a dream that people choose to tell themselves because they do not wish to believe God, or to change their ways.

If heaven is real as I believe it to be, then obviously we must refer to the expert on the subject...God/Jesus Christ who said He is the way and the truth and the life, and none can come to the Father but through Him.

Only believers in Jesus Christ will go to heaven...and everyone else will pay the ultimate price for their sins, not because of some mistaken notion that God is elitist and cruel and wants to condemn us, but because we deserve it, and if we do not accept God's pardon, the gift of Jesus Christ to take our place in paying the penalty for our sins, we would have no alternative but to pay it ourselves. (It's like a condemned prisoner, strapped into the electric chair...they are about to throw the switch and a man runs in with a pardon from the governor, forgiving the man for all his crimes...yet the man in his pride and arrogance, spits on the pardon and says, "no thanks, I'll take my chances with the lightning." and thereby spends all eternity in hell.

Answer 7

The only way is if that person has never heard of God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit and has absolutely no access to a Bible or radio or missionaries or any other way of learning about Christ. If he qualifies for that, then he will be judged on his own merit by his deeds. And children who are under the age of accountability also go to Heaven. Read your Bible.

Answer 8

Heaven is the Christian concept of after lifes. It really depends what you believe, and no one actually knows whether heaven exists. So non-christians don't believe in christ and don't believe in God or Jesus so i guess they don't believe in Heaven. How can you be a part of something if you don't believe in it?

Answer 9

no.

everyone has to believe in Jesus.

why?

because EVERYONE is born into this world with SIN.

we have lied before, we have hated before, we have stolen, we have cursed, we have been selfish, we have fought, we have murdered etc.

everyone is with sin.

and even if we try to do good works, to cover up our sins, we can never do that, because sin is still sin. and we can do one good work, and still sin at the same time.

so if we cannot remove sin in us by our own good works, then Someone else must come and help us.

this Someone is Jesus. The Bible says, "the consequence of sin is death."

by right, all of us (the whole world) should GO TO HELL and be destroyed forever because of our sins.

but God loved us so much, that He send His Son to take our place of death.

The Son (God Himself, in the form of human), took our place and saved us from death. He died in our place.

so today, we must ACKNOWLEDGE what God did on the cross. He did it to save us from hell.

if we do not acknowledge Jesus died on the cross, we do not accept the salvation work on the cross, which is the way to heaven, thus, we would indirectly have chosen the way of eternal damnation, hell.

Answer 10

Mate non-christians can only go to non-christian heaven, but dont worry, its a much better place than christian heaven....probably due to the lack of christians.

Answer 11

“...Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God” (The Book of John 3:3). I'm really sorry for all of the non -Christians because I love all of God's creations....HOWEVER, it is only right that since God created us and loved us so much that He sent us His only son to teach us , suffer and die for our sins that He be recognized and accepted as such with due thanksgiving and praise.

It's not a hate factor twords those who choose not to belive in Him: If you don't believe in Me then I don't want you with Me in Heaven.
It's more like: I love you and will award you --not reward you--my grace because you loved and trusted in Me and now you will take part in Me and My eternal love that you so prayed for during your earthy state.

God gave us free will. Those who chose by there own will to follow in His path will see Him at the completion of the path. Those who chose by their own will to turn away from Him and make their own path will simply find the end of their own path elsewhere.
The book of Revelations will give you a sneek peek of what that elsewhere is like.
In His loving name I ask you to make the right choice of path
