I believe that whatever you believe .... will get to you the next life
if you believe in Jesus and in Heaven...
that is only one way to get you there
you will have your little piece of the spirit world , with your fellow believers ...
right along the road from the Pagans and their friends
and around the corner from the Atheists etc

Misinterpretations of the Bible have led people to believe that we either go to heaven or hell after death. This is due to religious leaders in the past that have corrupted the teachings of the Bible for their own greed and power and too maintain control of their flocks.
If you study the Bible carefully, you'll find out that only a select few will go to heaven to rule with Christ upon His return to Earth. The rest will either be resurrected here on Earth or never resurrected. Those that don't come back will remain dead, or in a non-existent state. They won't even know that they're dead for they'll have no memories, no feelings, nor any concept of time.
As for the resurrection, these people that do come back will have a 1000 years to perfect themselves without the influence of Satan. This is the Judgement day. At the end of the 1000 years, Satan will be let loose again for a while to test these people. Even after these perfect conditions, many will still follow Satan. They along with Satan will be destroyed forever. Those that make it will live for eternity.
As for what religion is the way, I could'nt tell you that being that there is so much corruption in each one. Since the last apostles death, pure Christianity has been corrupted and diluted.

I am Agnostic, however, when considering the possibilities of Heaven and Hell it's a little bit confusing. When good people pass away they are let's say "rewarded" for going into Heaven. and they will continue to live a happy afterlife because Heaven is well a perfect, ideal place. But what confuses me is about Hell. If a sinful person passes away they are doomed to Hell. However, they are not rewarded but punished? Wouldn't the Devil want to praise these sinful people and that they can continue tol ive a life of taboo, deviant, and evil things.
But anyways, to be more specific on your question.There's a lot of murderers, rapists, racists, and whatnot who are very religious and they deserve to go to Hell. Although, I do not believe a hundred percent in Jesus, I believe I am living a good life because I am trying to help out many things so maybe if I die and there is a place beyond, I'm hoping that place will be Heaven :]
Religious or not, what you do in life and how you live your life either in a truly extreme sinful way or semi-pure way. I believe that will determine where you will go. Good question! Sorry I ranted.

You can not earn your way into heaven. You have to accept Christ as your Saviour and Lord of your life. By doing that your life will show the changes of being a Spirit filled Christian. You become a new creation in Christ. It is not just believing that "gets you into heaven' it is imitating Christ. If you are a true Christian you will begin to imitate Christ in your everyday life. You will show the fruit of the spirit. love, kindness, patience, longsuffering, goodness, etc. Nothing you do will get you to heaven it is all about what Jesus did for you and accepting that payment.

The denominations are man made.They aren't
found in God's word.I believe anyone can go
to hell from a church pew as well as a bar stool.
Believing in Jesus is more than Sunday morning
worship.Christianity is 24/7.

Yes, and we will receive further teaching on the other side. There is no way that we can possibly understand all there is to know about God from this earthly life. Lucifer and Satan are imprisoned. In other words, the gates of hell have been closed. All it takes is for one to desire to live eternally with God and to believe that its made possible through Jesus Christ. Even people who just believe in God will go to heaven. They just have to play catch up in their education when they get there.

The Bible informs what a person needs to do (repent and then follow God's words) and in doing so they will gain the promise of eternal life in heaven.

Sadly no. Only those who follow Jesus and keeps his laws and has a great desire to do everything they can for him. It's not the kind of church that determines whether people go to heaven or hell. Its the kind of person God sees them to be and those who are pleasing to him will be the ones who will bask in his presence.

no thats not the case at all yes you do have to worship God in spirit & truth John 4:24, & if your church is teaching you the wrong doctrine then you won't be approved. But many do not know the truth about who do go to heaven & who do not, I for instance am not one of those who will go to heaven & rule with the Christ as Kings & priests .............(Revelation 20:6)  Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.(Revelation 5:10) 10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth. . .
but who are they to rule over? Well what was God's purpose for mankind in the beginning, do you see anything in the scriptures that Jesus taught from about going to heaven.
The Bible says only those who die In UNION with christ will go to heaven, so THEN WHAT ABOUT THE MILLIONS WHO DIED BEFORE HE CAME? they didn't die in union with him lets let the Bible tell us
(Revelation 7:9-10) 9Â After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. 10Â And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
Who are these, again lets let the Bible tell us ..............(Revelation 7:13-14) . . .And in response one of the elders said to me: “These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from?” 14 So right away I said to him: “My lord, you are the one that knows.” And he said to me: “These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. . .
