Christians, do you believe Christians of other denominations will get into your Heaven?
Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterian, Protestant, whatever.
or do you believe that only Christians from your specific sub-set get saved?
Jo2, that's a lot of hate for such an innocuous question.
What vexes you, my child?

When Christians say that only their denomination is the "true church" and if people go to a different denomination, they are "not really saved" or "going to hell" or they're "not as 'mature' or not "a 'Super Christian'" like they are - such statements and mindsets shows an enormous amount of silly and immature thinking. It's down right embarrassing.
For some Christians they view church like some view sports. There are people who are fans of their favorite teams and they either hate or are indifferent to fans of other teams. It's divisive and competitive in a bad way.
Yes, people of other denominations will be in heaven! There will EVEN be Conservatives and Liberals!! (shocking) There will even be people who like their sheets tucked in at the foot of their bed and others who prefer untucked.
My God is bigger than denominations!
Great question!

All born again by the Spirit of God will be accepted in the Kingdom of the Lord whatever the denomination.

Catholics do not follow the Bible. They follow cannon law. They are nothing more than an extension of a fallen Roman empire. You can be a true Christian in a non-Christian church, but not all churches or denominations follow the Bible as the true and holy inspired word of God. If they do not they are not fundamentalist Christian churches. Go do your religious theology homework.

There is no heaven

"The king James version of the New testament was completed in 1611 by 8 members of the church of England. There were(and still are) no original texts to translate. The oldest manuscripts we have were written hundreds of years after the last apostle died. There are over 8,000 of these old manuscripts, with no two alike. The king James translators used none of these anyway. Instead, they edited previous translations to create a version their king and parliament would approve.
So, 21st century Christians believe the "word of god" is a book edited in the 17th century from 16th century translations of 8,000 contradictory copies of 4th century scrolls that claim to be copies of lost letters written in the 1st century.
That's not faith, it is insanity."

Sure. My Heaven even accepts atheists, Jews, and pagans. We're equal-opportunity over here.

I always hear the chanting, "As long as you accept Christ" then you get a ticket into Heaven- no matter how crappy of a person you are and how many lives you never help.
