JOHN 3:3\n    Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.\n\nMATTHEW 18:3\n    And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.\n \nACTS 2:38\n    Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.\n\nMATTHEW 5:3\n    Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n \nMATTHEW 5:10\n    Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n\nMATTHEW 5:20\n    For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.\n \nMATTHEW 7:21\n    Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/\n\nrhanjo, Please read...\nJOHN 3:5-8\n   5    Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.\n   6    That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.\n   7    Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.\n   8    The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.\n\nJOHN 6:63\n   It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.\n\nROMANS 8:1,2\n   1    There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. \n   2    For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.\n \nROMANS 8:4-9\n   4    That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. \n   5    For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. \n   6    For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \n   7    Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. \n   8    So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. \n   9    But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.

First let's define kingdom, there is a king and his dominion, or KINGDOMinion.\n\nThe kingdom of heaven is really everyplace where God is or reigns. So the kingdom of heaven can be in you, your grey matter, your spirit.\n\nThe first resurrection, mortal putting on immortality, is at the beginning of the 1000 year reign of Christ. The second resurrection is at the great white throne judgment.

Those who wish to be first in the kingdom of Heaven must make themselves last.\n\nThose who are first shall be last and those who are last shall be first.\n\n"WHY SERVE ALL?"\nBecause that's the way it was supposed to be: people loving each other.

As others have said example is the best way to lead one to Christ. Show God's love by inviting them to Christian activities. This does not neccesarily mean church services. Studies show that on average it takes 7 invitations before one will go to church. Studies also show that greater than 75% of all new Christians came to Christ by the example of a friend or relative. I would suggest that you show understanding and compassion. Do not try to engage in great theological debates. Do not judge. Remember in time the seed that you have planted will grow. Sometimes quick, sometimes over a period of time. You have done your job by spreading the gospel, it is now up to that person to decide to become a Christian or not. It can be painful to watch people reject Christ. Do not let it offend you or think that you could have done more. Pray to God and he will provide. God bless and keep up the good work.

the life we are living can infact be heaven. we just need to mold it well and enjoy each and every day of our life with our loved ones- that is the true essence of heaven, the paradise of our lives.

Otiginally the word Suffer meant Allow,  Jesus was saying allow the Children to come to me, for the Kingdom of Heaven is meant for such as these, and unless you become as a little child, you shall not enter the Kingdom

You have to be baptized.\nYou have to have the Melchizedek Priesthood.\nYou have to be called by God.\nThere are a few other little requirements. But Those are the main ones.

I have found the Seven Sacraments very powerful,but there are internal actions that must accompany the external actions,and these must be done in a precise order to activate the experience.....When you asked this question did you know that you were in the process of waking up?

The only way to heaven is through repenting and asking Jesus to forgive you for your transgressions.  Believe on the Lord Jesus and you WILL be saved.  Salvation has nothing to do with your good deeds.  Your good deeds neither obtain or retain eternal life.  Your good deeds will determine the crowns (eternal gifts)you receive in heaven.

The Bible tells us that Heaven is like Paradise. There will be no problems, worry, tears, or heartache. There will be mansions for all and streets of gold and happiness everywhere!!!!!

The word heaven means happiness,..so with The LORD, you can have a bit of heaven on earth,...but the bible says that flesh and blood cannot enter The Kingdom of God.

I can only speak for the Catholic religion as it's ther only one I have direct experience with that acknowladges Heaven. You have to repent your sins. Cleans your soul by confessing to a priest in the house of God, spend time saying the suggested amount of prayers as an act of attrition. And here's the tricky part, you have to be truly sorry for the sins you did commit. That's between you and God. And he knows if you're faking it. Also: You have to claim the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior. ( and mean it ) \nThat's the "A" ticket to Heaven through the Catholic Religion. Amen.

There is a scripture that says you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven unless you are like a child, so they qualify automatically, same as a child.
