this is how you get to heaven (all is scriptural):
Jesus said 3 times in john 3 we must be born again if we are to enter into His Kingdom. He said emphatically in vs 5, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water AND of the Spirit, he CANNOT enter into the kingdom of God."
Jesus knew that people understood how to be born of water ... baptism. however, they didn't understand about how to be born of the Spirit. Jesus explained it to nicodemus, comparing His Spirit to the wind. (john 3)
Peter also tells us how to be saved .... it coincides w/ what Jesus said regarding the new birth of water & of Spirit.
when Peter gave his 1st sermon on the day of Pentecost,
he was asked "what must we do to be saved"???
peter's message parallels that of Jesus when he said ...
"Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
this is the plan of redemption that Jesus authored at Calvary.
it is how we obey Jesus' death, burial & resurrection.
it is the new birth.
specifically we partake of the new birth, or we are being born again when we OBEY THE GOSPEL ...
to OBEY Jesus' DEATH ...... we REPENT.
repentance means we "die to ourselves" ...
it is more than just asking forgiveness of sin.
it is turning away from the life of sin & turning toward God ... living for Him.
to OBEY Jesus' BURIAL ...... we are baptized by immersion "in Jesus' Name"....
not "in the father, son & Holy Spirit" ...
these are titles, not a name.
there is no power to forgive sin in a title.
Jesus' blood signified by HIS NAME is the only name that covers (remits) your sins...
you must be baptized w/ His NAME spoken as you are immersed in the water (symbolic for His blood).
as far as i know, only apostolic churches baptize "in Jesus Name". they baptize just like the apostles did ... (hence the name, apostolic).
to OBEY Jesus' RESURRECTION..... receive the baptism or the infilling of the Holy Spirit w/ the evidence of speaking in another language as God's Spirit gives you the ability.
the infilling is NOT automatic at baptism ... & like Jesus said, it IS NECESSARY for salvation.
please don't listen to those who base salvation on belief only... just asking Jesus into your heart ... that is only the beginning.
BELIEVING ONLY is NOT ENOUGH for salvation.
scripture says the devil believes.... is he saved???
no. why not, if he believes???
b/c he has not OBEYED the Gospel.
the history book of the church (the book of acts) tells how the apostles preached the new birth & to obtain it.
for further reference, read acts 2, 8, 10, 19.
denominal churches today have twisted the new birth process. belief only is NOT enough. we are to obey the Gospel (Jesus' death, burial & resurrection ) just like the apostles taught in the book of acts.
you can't believe the Bible is true & yet not believe in the new birth as spelled out in the book of Acts.
10,000 people were saved in the book of acts by obeying the new birth.
remember, you cannot base your salvation on any of the epistles b/c they are letters that paul wrote to ALREADY BORN AGAIN christians. the epistles includes the books from romans to jude.
how you get to hell:
if you are not born again according to acts 2:38 & john 3, you will NOT enter heaven ... eternity will be spent in hell.

(Revelation 14:3) 3 And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth.
The truth is that only a 144,000 according to the Bible will be going to heaven. That leaves many to go to where? And there is no hell the way Christendom has defined it. Actually our Creator made the earth for us, but not the way it is now. If you want the truth about what He has in store for us, here is an article about just that. And how God created us.

you're lacking some thing right here. Who says you will be able to desire to have an afterlife? you be attentive to, the Israelites, for many of their existence, had no theory in an afterlife. They believed in God, yet that for sure does not translate into the theory in an afterlife. and that they've been given alongside ok. yet, greater important nevertheless, merely because of the fact there is an afterlife does not propose there unavoidably is a heaven or a hell. The afterlife has been tremendously plenty attested to by utilising the tens of millions of memories of folk who've had close to loss of existence reviews. sure, I understand that throughout theory it would be attainable to describe a number of those reviews interior the direction of the conventional breakdown of the physique's mandatory fearful equipment, yet no longer all of those will paintings that way, and for my funds, the attempt to locate a proof for the NDEs as in straightforward terms reactions to the physique's failing techniques ultimately merely feels like frantically grasping at straws. i'm a Christian and that i do no longer purchase the assumption of hell. i do no longer deny that it particularly is in scripture, yet I even have in no way believed which you will take scripture actually, and it particularly is in no way infallible. I observe that a good number of the NDEs comprise a document of a few entity on the different element who's easily loving, be attentive to-how and accepting. oftentimes, the guy confronts the flaws they have completed of their lives and sees the evil they have completed, however the entity is familiar with and accepts this. it particularly is totally consistent with my Christian ideals. God isn't any TERRORIST!!! The fundies will insist that he's. you will be able to desire to no longer hear to them. they are going to basically unfold evil.

Well... mny ppl believe u go 2 heaven bcuz u a gud person... n u go 2 hell if u a bad 1. Not true. U go 2 heaven if u hve a relationship w Jesus Christ, n u go 2 hell if u don. N other words, if u accept Jesus as ur Lord n Saviour u will hve eternal life. If not, then u reject Him. God is a wonderful loving God, n He doesn't want ne 1 of his children 2 go 2 hell, but if they don't choose Him, wat can He do? He's not going 2 force ne body 2 luv Him. He luvs us 2 m 2 force us, tht y He gave us free will.

when a person believes that that Jesus is the son of God and that His blood washed away the sins of the world, and confessed that they are a sinner,and excepts Him as your Lord and Savor then you shall be save.
On the other hand, to blossomy the holy spirit is the only sin that is not forgiven!
In our hearts we hold the keys to our own salvation and if you condom yourself for the things that you do then if shall be as that, but if you con fest your sins then God's words are true to free you from sin.
(BELIEVE AND HEAVEN'S GATES WILL OPEN FOR YOU!, DENY THE LORD JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD AND HELL IS YOUR DESTINY! )
To your next question:
The Jews still believe in the old testament, and that the body of Jesus was taken bye his own disciples, and it's by the law that will condom the believer.(their actions can send them to heaven or hell.

As a Christian, I will tell you that there is only one way into the Kingdom. You must go to the right Christian church, and read the correct version of the Bible. I would tell you what the right church and Bible version are, but space in heaven is limited, and we true Christians do not want to spend the afterlife with standing room only. To get to hell, practice any other religion.

MY best guess would be is accepting jesus and god as your lord and savior(for christians) and following the bible as best as you can....no one is perfect. If you were perfect their would be bibles written about you! How To go hell? Read the bible and do exactly the opposite. Just remember that christianity is about forgiveness and love above everything else.

Heaven: Accept Jesus. God provided the atonement for our sins through the sacrifice of his son as payment for our debt.
Hell: Reject Jesus. Then you have to atone for your own sins to get into heaven, good luck with that.

Admit your sinfulness to God, repent of your sin, ask God to forgive your sin for Jesus' sake, ask Jesus Christ to be the Lord and Saviour of your life and be born again; that will get you into heaven. Reject everything I just said and you will go to hell

By reading the bible you will find in Revelation that it is God's choices of 144,000 who will be Kings and Priests over surviving mankind who dwell on earth.
As to Hell, this is the ground you walk on, and get buried in so that you can be resurrected for education in the new system of things.
The choices are not yours to make.
You can benifit by reading the Lord's prayer slowly and observing what it says..............
