    Yes. I believe in a triune Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father sent His Son Jesus to be born of a virgin, Live a perfect life, Die on a cross to atone for the sins of all mankind, Rise from the grave defeating death, Ascend back to Heaven to prepare a place for all who repent of their sins and by faith commit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. After He returned to Heaven He sent the comforted or Holy Spirit to convict sinners of their sins, Guide them to Salvation in Jesus Christ and live in the hearts of all who accept Him. My source is the Holy Bible and and the Salvation I received in response to the unmistakable calling of the Holy Spirit. This is an experience that erases all doubt. God bless.

    Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven?

    --- No. I don't. I remember hearing somewhere that there's also a stairway to heaven. But I'm not sure that stairway is open to the public anymore; it might have been privatized. I think it was bought by a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold.

    The good news is, if you get to heaven and the stores are all closed, with a word you can get what you came for.

    Ooh, it makes me wonder,

    Yes; living a Christ like life is the only way to heaven; some believe you can quote John 3:16 but they are decieved

    All people see Heaven in the after life- many do not get to stay.

    Get away from religion and read the Bible. It all makes perfect sense- perfect sense! The end of the legal covenant ended with the Christ- just as prophesied in the OT. If you don't accept that, it did not end for you and you will be subject to judgement- a judgement you do not want and will not survive!

    Many Hebrews had conjured up a better idea than their ancient prophecies about their coming Messiah- man made religion always tends to trump the Bible- Christ came to make the blind see and those who could see, yet deny, blind.

    About half of the Hebrews converted- the other half witnessed the destruction of their beloved temple as prophesied by the Christ. They were again cast out of their promised land and only recently are they returning- as prophesied by a Christian (John in Rev.).

    Its your choice- its totally up to you- the Christ gave you the option for the perfection that Adam and Eve had for a time.

    Can you think of a better deal? Freedom and decency are what Christianity is about- is there something else you want?

    If you don't believe the early parts of Genesis are true, its because of religion. The creation story is profoundly true and is provable with modern science- not creation science. Creation science is the science of religious mythology and mythology is anti God.

    The after life is not a subject for polls and opinions- they don't matter. What matters is you and what you believe and if your wrong, only you are to blame.

    There are more than 7 billion humans on earth. A majority of them have no knowledge of Jesus Christ or Heaven. It seems logical that there are other ways to access Heaven.

    No ..

    Contraversial answer maybe but ...

    I'm sure it wasn't Jesus Christ who promised the 9/11 terrorists a place in Heaven !

    My point being .. many religions .. all promising Heaven.

    We can be 100% certain that the 9/11 terrorists were misguided but ..

    Why is Christianity more likely to be the right one than any other ?

    Jewish answer: Not a chance. That's NOT Biblical (the Christian back engineering and NT are irrelevant since Replacement Theology calls G-d a liar)

    there are many views because the afterlife isn't described in Judaism. Most Jews don't focus on the afterlife, we let G-d worry about that. Jews focus on the here-and-now: keeping G-d's commandments, studying Torah, caring for others and helping to repair the world.

    Some Jews believe that when someone dies and they are righteous, we go to join G-d immediately. If we aren't righteous they spend a short time away from G-d.

    Some Jews believe that we enter a sleep-like state until the Messiah/Messianic age and then join in the new world to come.

    Some Jews believe in reincarnation until the Messiah/Messianic age or until one becomes righteous enough to join G-d.

    Jews do NOT believe in an eternal torment/hell. That would not be part of the righteous plan of a loving G-d. There is NO discussion or description of “hell” in the Jewish Tanakh. Some believe the utmost in evil souls simply cease to exist

    Read your Bible. Acts 4:12 as mentioned above clearly reminds that 'there is no other name under heaven or earth by which man must be saved'. This doesn't mean that all Christians are perfect or better than other people. It says Jesus is the name by which anyone can call & be saved if they genuinely are seeking salvation. Acts 17 also points out God's sovereignty over all nations of the earth regardless of religious affiliations and is a good read . YOU can come to know this Jesus by simply understanding that:

    1) God loves you (we don't initially love Him) & has a wonderful purpose for your life

    (John 3:16, 10:10, Jeremiah 29:11)

    2) Man is sinful & separated from God & cannot experience His love & forgiveness

    (Romans 3:23, James 3:2)

    3) Jesus died on the cross for all the sins of all mankind for all time

    (Acts 4:12, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 Timothy 2:5, 1 John 1:9)

    4) YOU can know this Jesus personally as your Lord & Saviour by accepting His invitation to be in your life.

    (Revelations 3:20, John 1:12)

    Millions long for life in heaven. Jesus said that his faithful apostles would live there. Before he died, he promised to prepare a place for them with his heavenly Father.—Read John 14:2.

    Why will people from earth be resurrected to life in heaven? What will they do there? Jesus told his apostles that they would be kings. They will rule over the earth.—Read Luke 22:28-30; Revelation 5:10.

    If there is a heaven, I assume that there are other ways to get there beyond mere belief in the Judea-Christian sub-deity known as Jesus.

    It has been said that there are multiple paths to heaven by theologists and scholars alike, and those who are just, forgiving, loving, and unselfish will find a way to get there, if it even exists.

    Most modern religions claim that some sort of wonderful post-death experience will occur for those that are "good people" during their life. How they live a "good life" varies from religion to religion, but the concepts are quite similar.

    - Don't be selfish.

    - Don't be cruel.

    - Don't be violent.

    - Don't be idle.

    - Don't lie or deceive.

    - Don't focus on material things beyond what is needed to survive.

    - Do forgive.

    - Do love all with an open heart.

    - Be understanding of others.

    - Help those who are in need, lost, scared, or being harmed.

    - Love yourself, and protect yourself from being harmed. (Figuratively and Literally)

    You get the idea. These principles are in no way unique to Christianity, and are found in nearly all religions.

    Jesus Christ is the only way, thereby, that mankind, even the entire history of mankind on earth, that WE Might be saved. see also Acts 4:12

    12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

    however, there are several scriptures that imply we can also hear the gospel by his apostles and prophets, or those servants HE sends us, and if we receive "them" we can be received into heaven. even though a man is dead, if he call upon the name of Jesus Christ he will be allowed to live... and still there is a few other verses..
