I'm curious because, according to many, if not most of the Christian denominations, not many people will receive heaven - Christians included.

Where did you get that notion?
There is only one determing factor for Heaven - IMHO
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord?
Compared to the 'world' very few are Christians - so there
you have the 'few' that find it.
The Gate to Heaven (illustration) has printed on its front
the words "Whosoever Will Come" - meaning, any person
who truly believes John 3:16-17 can ask Jesus to forgive their
sins, and to be their Savior and Lord.
The mystery is that on the other side of the gate - it is written -
"The Elect of God" - that we were chosen - but
how could I have been the chosen - if it was my decision?
And Yes, on Judgement Day - I will have my life reviewed
and yes - I will have my litany of sinS announced that I should receive the 'penalty of Hell' for - except that Jesus will stand
in front of me - and declare that the price has been paid!

Once your name is in the Lambs Book of Life - it's there!
FINAL ANSWER
There are no further check marks to accomplish.
As a side note, we will meet together on a day of worship
each week to Praise God for His gift to us, and give Him glory.
And share the good news with others - because I want all
my friends - and people who are not my friends yet -
to go with me, because I know the truth, and the truth has set me free.

The Bible does not teach that all good people go to heaven.
Heaven is reserved for Jehovah God,Jesus Christ,the angels and the 144,000 taken from the earth to reign as kings and priests with Christ(Rev.14:1-4).
The rest of obedient mankind will have the opportunity to reside on a paradise earth,and be given the gift of everlasting life.(Ps.37:9-11,29;Pr.2:21)
The Bible tells us that Armageddon is God's war and that he will protect his people.So only the wicked need worry.
As one of Jehovah's Witnesses my greatest concern is continueing to do God's will so that I can be counted worthy amongst those who survive.

i do not comprehend why Christians might want to worry judgement day. isn't it the day all others are judged and in basic terms the Christians will bypass to Heaven? everybody else has to stay a hell in the international.

This denomination this, and this denomination that, we are to accept Jesus, Son of God, into our hearts and lives and strive to live by His teachings, period. I do not fear that day because I have accepted Him and with His help, I live the best that I can, I only hope that He will be pleased with me.

The Bible calls it, "The Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord."
It's considered "A Great Day of the Lord" for the Righteous, they kept his commandments to the best of their ability. They will receive the Rest of their Lord.
The "Dreadful Day of the Lord" is for the wicked and rebelious. God will judge those who have sinned and refused to repent.
Do I fear it? No.

No, although I do not feel like I am ready by any means, I look forward to it with hope, since I know that I am trying to do the best I can and to improve in the areas I know I need to do better. I have faith in my Savior; what is their to fear?

Hehe this is true, many will be turned away, it will be the moment of truth for some, but for others who live their life according to God' word will have nothing to fear,
everyone will wana be a fundy like us when the time comes but it will be to late lol.
@Ciara.... the bible also says you MUST do the will of the Father, repent and turn away from your sins. many heathens believe in Jesus but will it save them..

good enough for him to say,,welcome Home.

No. I do my best to do right by God and my family and friends. I'm not above admitting when I've done something wrong and asking for forgiveness. I consider myself to be a good person.
If God wants to send me to Hell because I do laundry on Sundays, then I'd rather not be a part of that Heaven.
