There is only one way to heaven, and it is not by being religious, but by trusting Jesus as your personal savior. John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
All the different religions in the world do not believe in or serve the same God. You hear a lot of talk nowadays about "lets just all come together and be united", but the bible says that Jesus came to bring division. Luke 12:51-52: Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Religions and denominations will never save your soul and give you eternal life.
There are actually only two religions in the world. One, is that God saves man by grace through faith in his son Jesus, or two, man tries to save himself through his own good works, deeds, and right living, etc. The reason there are so many different religions in the world is that man is always trying to devise his own plan of salvation through something he can do instead of just receiving the free gift of salvation that God provided for us by faith in Christ. The bible says that all our own self righteousness is as filthy rags to him. Isaiah 64:6: But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Also, there is a social gospel out there that says to be a Christian we should just feed the hungry and care for the poor because that is what Jesus did, but that is not the real reason Jesus came into the world at all. The main purpose Jesus came into the world, sent from God the father, is so that he could die on the cross and purchase our redemption with his own shed blood.
I John 4:14: And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Jesus came to save us from our sins, not to be a good example of how to live, etc.
I Corinthians 15:3: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.
Revelation 1:5: And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.
1 Peter 2:24: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Isaiah 43:11: I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
Hosea 13:4: Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me; for there is no saviour beside me.
Luke 2:11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
