The only requirement is that you repent of sin and receive Christ as savior and Lord....put your trust in him for eternal life..
"God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - (Jn. 3:16)
"He that believes on me has everlasting life".- Jesus.. (Jn. 6:47)

Well, that's a very subjective question and different religions answer this in different ways. Allow me to answer your question with another. If a person was born in a remote location, and did not have the benefit of learning about Jesus or Christianity, would a loving and just God condemn this person ? It's not as simple as believing or not believing in Jesus. The path to Heaven is more adequately explained when you look at it in terms of right vs. wrong. All religions have this in common.

Study it for yourself using the Life Application Bible ~ New International Version.
This Bible has commentary at the bottom of each page to explain what the scriptures mean, in an easy-to-understand way. Pick one source for information, or you will thrash around in confusion for the rest of your life, caused by the misinterpretations of other confused people.

All religeons believe in the one god, the only problem is that man use religeon as a tool to gain fame, fortune and power.
If you truly believe in Jesus you wouldn't need to ask this question because you would try your hardest to be a good person as long as you live.
Don't worry about Jesus worry about serving god you creator.
Jesus was sent to teach, he didn't say that we should serve him, he said we must serve our father who is in heaven.

No, sorry it's not that easy, you can't just believe in Jesus and then waste your life like a piece of trash, like all the Christians do.

When you die, you (i.e your consciousness) have more chance of going to the energy level where you believe at that moment you're going than to other energy levels. There are no guarantees.
It's best to simply align to the brightest close to whitest light image you perceive and suppress the fear.
If you are Christian, you will probably perceive this image as Christ.

It's not about believing, it's about accepting Him as sovereign Lord and God. It doesn't matter what religion you are in, except those that are denying the truth of Christ, i.e., Mormon, JW, Catholic, and Jew. Religions are a hindrance to a Christian, religion is man's opinion of God, when we should concern ourselves with God's opinion of men.

If you Believe in Christ finished work on the cross you do. Jesus sacrifice was acceptable to GOD for our salvation. It has to be acceptable to you. It is not Jesus + this or Jesus + that. It's just Jesus period.

There are few more confusing topics than salvation. It goes beyond the standard question posed by Fundamentalists: "Have you been saved?" What the question also means is: "Don’t you wish you had the assurance of salvation?" Evangelicals and Fundamentalists think they do have such an absolute assurance.
There are many saintly men and women who have long lived the Christian life and whose characters are marked with profound spiritual joy and peace. Such individuals can look forward with confidence to their reception in heaven.
Such an individual was Paul, writing at the end of his life, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day" (2 Tim. 4:7-8). But earlier in life, even Paul did not claim an infallible assurance, either of his present justification or of his remaining in grace in the future. Concerning his present state, he wrote, "I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby justified [Gk., dedikaiomai]. It is the Lord who judges me" (1 Cor. 4:4). Concerning his remaining life, Paul was frank in admitting that even he could fall away: "I pummel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified" (1 Cor. 9:27). Of course, for a spiritual giant such as Paul, it would be quite unexpected and out of character for him to fall from God’s grace. Nevertheless, he points out that, however much confidence in his own salvation he may be warranted in feeling, even he cannot be infallibly sure either of his own present state or of his future course.
The same is true of us. We can, if our lives display a pattern of perseverance and spiritual fruit, have not only a confidence in our present state of grace but also of our future perseverance with God. Yet we cannot have an infallible certitude of our own salvation, as many Protestants will admit. There is the possibility of self-deception (cf. Matt. 7:22-23). As Jeremiah expressed it, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately corrupt; who can understand it?" (Jer. 17:9). There is also the possibility of falling from grace through mortal sin, and even of falling away from the faith entirely, for as Jesus told us, there are those who "believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away" (Luke 8:13). It is in the light of these warnings and admonitions that we must understand Scripture’s positive statements concerning our ability to know and have confidence in our salvation. Assurance we may have; infallible certitude we may not.
