So who's going to heaven?
So I am just wondering because I am of christian faith, it is clearly stated that you have to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior in order to get into heaven. But Jewish people do not believe that Jesus was the messiah and from what I have learned, don't even view him as a good person(correct me if Im wrong). And Muslims view him only as a prophet and nothing more, I believe, so does that mean the other religions are not going to heaven or that christians and one of the other religions are not going to heaven?
Wefmeister I appreciate the effort but I have already read the entire bible and am rereading it at the moment, I only said that specific fact because I didn't want to get into more detail because it is unnecessary for this question.

only parrots and mormons.
Everyone has a different opinion of who gets into heaven or whether there is a heaven at all, but the fact is that everyone has a different opinion. In the Christian faith, those who put their faith in Christ can enter the magical gates of heaven. But the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Mormons, etc.... all have different views on the entrance of heaven. So how does that help? It helps because almost every religion has a god to worship. In the Christian Bible the key to salvation is faith in God, the key to almost every other religion is to have faith in their God. So what if there was just one God and we put different names and added different rules? That would mean that it doesn't really matter who your God is, but where your faith is.
In the Christian Bible, Romans 14:22 says: "As for the faith you do have, have it as your own conviction before God."
Your actions show your faith. Whatever/whoever your god is, you must put your faith in him, and to show that faith, you live a life according to your god's standards. Faith comes from the heart not your actions, but your actions shows what is in your heart.

Jews don't believe in heaven, so you don't need to worry about them. Muslim guys get 72 virgins where they go when they die, and women aren't allowed in to their place, so I don't really know what kind of place that is. So they only ones with their eyes on heaven, I guess, are the Christians. Anyway, they mean something else by "heaven", not what you're worried about.

we Muslims believe that prophets are the highest ranks in humanity as Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him is a prophet.
in every religion you go to hell if you do not believe in their religion but the reality is most of them are man made.
but the Qur'an is perfect in every aspect and something that is man made will never be perfect as god says in the Qur'an:
Do they not then consider the Qur'ân carefully? Had it been from other than Allâh, they would surely have found therein many contradictions. (4:82)

According to Christianity, anyone who does not accept Yeshua as their savior and repent from their sins is not going to heaven. It's mutually exclusive just like every other belief system.
Other religions do not believe Christians are going to heaven/nirvana/etc.

Its hard to tell I am a christian person but if you think beyond that theres many more things that dont make sense. bible also says if guys dont get there foreskin cut off they will go to hell. if there are over 400 mammals including humans that practice homosexuality. all animals go to heavan but yet humans are condemd for it. the jews that dont view jesus as a good person will not go to heavan, alot of muslims in general will probably not go to heavan. bacause there the people that expect gold and a thousand virgins when they get to heavan.

if u read acts 2...in the bible...it will tell u what u need to do to be accepted...
first of all in matthew 28:18-20 ...Jesus commanded us to become disciples... so ask the church if tht is their goal . to make people disciples...
next if u want to be a disciples....reading in acts 2 ... concludes tht...first u should believe in the trinity... then tht Jesus was raised in the 3rd day... then repent... and then be baptized for the forgiveness of ur sins and to recieve the gift of the holy spirit...
to become a disciples as Jesus wanted us... ull have to go to series of studies to know what God wanted from us...though not a major in uni... but from other disciples...
gd luck and God bless

You really need to begin reading the Bible, especially the New Testament, and humbly ask God to teach you.
First of all - are you born again yet? Do you have an inner assurance your sins are forgiven, that you are a child of God through faith in Jesus? That the promises of God's word, especially pertaining to salvation apply to you? You cannot help others until you have received the grace of God for yourself.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.............Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.”
John 3:16-18,36 NIV

If you live your life the way God say's to you don't have anything to worry about. Now let me tell you Jesus and God are one and the same, All other Gods are idols. Read acts 2/38--Deuteronomy The lord our God the lord is one.

(1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
