Id have to say Yes. They know what needs to be done. So they have a head start on everyone else. But you can be saved on your death bed. Lets not wait that long okay? Just get right with Him now. A relationship is just a repent away. Do it.

Whats the point in going to church. You have a lot to learn going to church will not get you into Heaven. Church is the Lords house. We worship and praise Him there. We also meet and mingle with other believers. There are more non Christians at church than Christians.

Hi Jason, One would hope so but not all Christians will have that privilege. Jesus told a parable in Matthew 25:31-46 about the sheep and the goats. The sheep represent God's true people and the goats those who claim to be His followers.
What many Christians fail to realise is that whilst we are saved by grace through faith and not by works Ephesians 2:8-10, our works indicate whether we are are saved James 2:14-26 because faith without works is dead.
I hope that this has been of help to you.

Your question assumes that Heaven exists. Inevitably the answer is yes, since Christianity is the main ideology that popularized the idea of Heaven and created the condition that one be Christian in order to be admitted.

No we're all about the same: I think the last poll said that the odds of getting into heaven are about: slim-to-none. I'm going with none.

Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day and does righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor they grieve.

That's a million dollar question.

If you believe in "Heaven" then what are your beliefs for getting there.

Some don't even believe in Heaven.

Jason,
"Going to Church" does not necessarily "Make you a Christian. To become a Christian, we are told that we must HEAR the WORD in John 6:45, Jesus said, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” We are also told so in Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We are told the we must BELIEVE in Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We are also told so in Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” and in John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. We are told that we must REPENT (or turn from sin) in Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Also in Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST in Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We are also told in 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. We are to be BAPTIZED according to Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” and Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. We are to CONTINUE to be FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH according to Revelation 2:10c Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. We also know that Paul wrote in Romans 14:12 each of us shall give account of himself to God. It is important that we not ignore what is written, change what is written, or add to what is written in the New Testament. It is our Christian Guide. Have a great week!
Thanks,
Eds

Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; NO ONE comes to the Father but by Me.

Sounds pretty simple enough to me....

Those who are obedient and faithful to our Lord and Savior will make it to heaven.
