No one can get to heaven without believing Jesus is the son of God and no one can get to heaven without knowing what it means to believe that Jesus is the son of God.

Theological Pluralists say that all the world religions lead to God and can save. Pluralism does not necessarily say that such people will be saved, simply that all the world's religions lead to God. Of course, the huge difficulty here is that while some common themes may exist, there are often huge differences between the various religions of the world. Also, while both Exclusivism and Inclusivism can clearly be argued with scriptural support, no such support really exists for Pluralism, so upholders of this salvific view must seek support from elsewhere, mainly from ethics, psychology and philosophy.

John 14:6 I Am The Way, The Truth, & The Life, no one comes TO The Father, Except Through Me.
So what does this say NO

This question is a bit like "Have you stopped beating your wife?", in that there is no way for a Christian to answer it in a good way.
If we say yes, you say Jesus is not the only way. If we say no, you say we are exclusionary and elitist and whatevery else you will think of.
Jesus got asked a question like that, and answered it by saying "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and render unto God the things that are God's."
When people asked me if I have stopped beating my wife, I simply reply that we don't play Scrabble anymore.
Being Anglican (in the US Espiscopal and in the UK Church of England) I have read the old Book of Common Prayer. It contains a prayer for the redemption of the Jews, that has long-since been taken out.
Give us Christians a bit of credit for moving with the times, will you please. Most of us respect those who have other faith traditions.
I don't care what people believe, as long as it's something. All people of faith are looking to connect with God in the context of their own traditions.

Not only Jesus everyone is son god. Since god is the spirit, therefore the form and name of Jesus or anyone else just symbolic. One has to know the fact that 'I' is not the self,but the substance and witness of the 'I' is self. The substance is the formless non-dual spirit or Atman.
Therefore it is necessary to view and judge the truth on the true self that is spirit, not on physical Self. Then only is possible to know ultimate truth is formless and non dual spirit or Atman. Ultimate truth that is spirit or Atman is god.
All doubts confusion arise because everyone views on the physical point of view with the name and form ,due to their inherited conditioning by their religion,parents, society. Thus we all differentiate our idea of god with others idea of god. It is totally erroneous.Therefore god is one that is formless spirit or Atman.if any one believes his own self is spirit , and spirit is god then automatically enter the kingdom of heaven whether he is Jew or Christian or any body else.

No, He is the Way the Truth and the Life... no-one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven, except by Him.
Take care, God bless
