The truth is, NO ONE knows what happens when you die. Some people say they do, but they dont. You will just have to wait.

In the world there are 6 mainstream religions, with many other smaller ones. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions, and since you cannot belong to more than one religion at a time, all souls will go to Hell.
But please do take other people's suggestions on how to get to the pearly gates. If Hell really is an eternity of "people I'd least like to be stuck in a lift with", for my sake, would you mind taking the stairs?
And the same goes for each and every one of you who hits the thumbs down button. Seriously, p***off to heaven with the rest of the narrow minded believers. We don't want your sort in Hell, cluttering up the place and making it look untidy.... :p

Accept Christ as your Lord and Savior and have faith that His precious blood has redeemed you.
A Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas the same question in Acts 16:30-31.
Acts 16
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
I going to say a little doubt is OK.
Mark chapter 9
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Amen.

No, no, no!
Enjoy your life; be loving rather than hating; believe what is reasonable and sensible.
There will be people who will tell you all sorts of fairy tales. Do you believe the Tooth Fairy has the power to turn your teeth into cash? No. Then why believe a birth with no biological basis? why believe a zombie who is killed and then supposed to become alive is going to help you.
Be honest with yourself, your friends and family; be kind to all; stop before you act in anger - check you're going to do the right thing.
Oh, and just for good measure - dress like a pirate on Fridays.

Ask Jesus Christ into your heart and truly mean it. Ask God to forgive you of any sins you've committed. Don't repeat these sins. Live a good clean life, enjoy the love and joy of Jesus Christ. As for what you can do for your children and grandchildren. Teach and live the life of Christ in front of them. I've always told my children that the only true gift I can leave them when I'm gone is the "Gift of Faith."
There is also a book that I have read a couple times. It's great. The book is called, "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. Read that book. It will truly help you.

its the easiest thing you will ever do.except Jesus Christ as your savior,ask him to come into your life and wash away your sins,and believe with your whole heart that he died on the cross for our sins and rose again in three days to prepare a place for us to go after death..heaven.and thats it.once you say those words you are saved and will go to heaven.we are not all perfect,so if you slip and committ a sin its ok.you wont go to hell because you are already saved.

Jesus said He is the only way to heaven, and the Bible teaches salvation by grace through faith, and not by any works. As soon as you add works, you have a false gospel.
God does not grade on a curve, so everyone is a sinner on the way to hell. The only way out of hell is to believe that Jesus, who is God, died for your sins on the cross and rose again. If you believe that, you go to heaven. If you reject it to your dying breath, you will go to hell for eternity.

Ha! You can't. It is a matter of Grace. People who live excellent lives are still in jepordy of going to hell if God didn't grant them his Grace at birth. It's a gamble really.

How can anybody be sure about anything after death? As Shakespeare put it:
"The undiscovered country form whose bourn no traveler returns."
The Christian denominations who claim you can know for sure are spouting heresy. Even the Bible contradicts them in many verses. They pick a verse here or there out of context to piece together their shaky theology.

Ask a Muslim. All others don't know what they are doing themselves. They worship a man and call him god though that god of their's couldn't even defend himself.
How could he save you?
