to get to heaven one must be born again
John 3:3-8
3) In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again
4) "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"
5) Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
6) Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
7) You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
8) The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit
Romans 10:9-10
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.
10)For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
Romans 2:12
12)For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law

I wish i could tell you that it's ok to just be a nice guy and not run around sinning. But it's not ok, and you may think you're not sinning but that is just you being uneducated to the teachings of the bible. Here is how it works... There will be a rapture of the true believers and followers of Jesus Christ upon his return. They will disappear. And by the way things are going here on earth, it can't possibly be much longer, we're watching the beginnings of the book of revelations unfold on tv news each day. Part of church attendee's, part of a stores shoppers, part of your classroom, part of your family possibly... will disappear in an instant. Those left behind will endure great tragedy over a 7 year period known as the tribulation. Most will continue to ignore Christ, but many will realize what has happened and turn to Christ. 1/4 of the worlds poulation will be killed, most of them being the people that turned to Christ. But they'll have something to look forward to. The non believers, the people that follow and worship the anti christ during this period, those that persecute the born again Christians in this period are in fact, doomed to eternity in hell. The bible teaches that after this tribulation period, everyone who has ever died, will go before the lord for judgement. You will be judged on 2 things... #1: whether ot not you had faith in, and accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and recognized him as the son of god and your saviour. #2: Your lifes works. You cannot simply just go through life minding your own and trying not to hurt others. You must reach out to others, help your brothers where you can. Do good deeds. I'm not pressuring to convert you, but there are things that are happening around you that you are not aware of and have not been educated to yet. Do yourself a favor. Go to a used bookstore, amazon.com, whatever, and get "Wrath & Glory" by Dr. David Reagan. Read it and find out for yourself why yes, You do have to worry about it.
The fact that you're even on here asking this question, and getting some legitimate answers, show's that god is reaching out to you. He wants to have a relationship with you, don't turn your back on him. If you start looking into these things and need someone who can answer questions as you discover new things in this, feel free to email me.

People who do not accept Jesus Christ will go to hell, that is the truth. Not accepting God can send you to hell, not trying to be mean but it is the truth. Just going through life being good and commiting no sins doen't just cut it. You have to acknowledge him.

Noone goes to hell for sins. No one goes to heaven for being good. Your fate depends on what you do with Jesus. Do you accept Him as your saviour or not?

The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ, without Christ you are on the road to hell.
John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.”

Hell doesn't exist. Neither does Heaven. Don't worry about which "sins" you're breaking or not.
Instead, just figure out what you want in life and what you value in it. Don't treat people well because some god in an old book tells you to. Treat people well because people are important in your life and you truly value them. Treat people well because you empathize with them and want to treat them well.

Invisible sky critters, heaven and hell don't exist.
It's all a scam so preachers don't have to get a real job.

You don't have to worry about it, ask yourself this:How will it really affect your life? Answer: Not in any way good.
