[It's totally impossible for me to accept Jews, Muslims or other people would go to Hell because they are not Christians .I really don't understand.]
They don't have to be Christians, they just need to accept Jesus as they only Lord and savior.
They need to confess to God that they are sinner (we all are), and believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for their sins on the cross and was raised for our justification, they need to receive and confess Jesus as they personal Saviour.
Don't need to change who they are, but confess that Jesus is the Lord.

Except jesus has not fulfilled one single prophecy of the old testament.
In fact, the jews have always kept their covenant. But the tribulationists are likely to die since they the are not worshiping a "lamb", but a "golden calf". The day of anger will fall upon the christians, and not the jews, not the muslims.
Unless the whole thing is ? fucking load of horse shit.
"Don't need to change who they are, but confess that Jesus is the Lord."
I don't think you quite understand this whole Christianity thing.
So, people can accept the basic tenets of Christianity, and hold them with significant weight, and not be Christian? I assume that God was joking when he was saying that you aren't allowed to worship other gods, then, and that just saying "Jesus, save me" will suffice during one's lifetime. And then one can resume their Shinto, Buddhist, or Hindu belief systems? That doesn't quite sound...errmmm...possible.
Oh, good. So that guy standing over there can go right on murdering and raping and beating children and kicking puppies. So long as he confesses to God (rather than, say, a law enforcement officer), he gets to go to Heaven.
That's horribly unsettling.

No comment.

Bingo. Christianity in a nutshell.
Only need to accept Jesus.
Well, christian fundamentalists seem to disagree, as for them being a christian (and getting saved) also includes, subscribing to their loads of medieval moral values ad well as accepting that the bible is to be taken literal.
They wouldn´t accept anyone as christian who "just" confesses that Jesus is his lord and savior, but continues to perform practices of his old religion.
thats a load of crap, if you eat people, does that mean i still can?
i doubt one christian would say yes
sorry you fail, you have to do more than confess that jesus is lord, you have to you know stop eating people
So what about Hindus who accept Jesus. Quite a few Hindus throw Jesus and Mary on top of their giant pile of gods.
Will they get to heaven? Since they do accept Jesus Christ, not just in the way you want them to.
In a way it makes sense, since the most hardcore "Christians" seem to follow Paul rather than Jesus.
@Miste Spak; the fun part is that originally that was true; as long as you worshipped Allah, it didn't matter if you prefered Jesus, Muhammed or Moses.
It's difficult for human beings to accept another human being as a savior. Since Jews & Muslims do not believe in the divinity of Jesus, they do not accept his as a savior.
Your christian arrogance proves nothing more than your inability to see reality.
How did Jesus get into heaven? Unless you think he accepted himself as his own savior and confessed that he himself was Lord. Those Jewish roots of his be damned, hey?
Dumbfuck, I don't think you understand the word "Christian."
Jesus was the man's name, but Christ is a title, from the Greek, meaning messiah. Therefore, Christianity is the belief in a messiah, specifically, that Jesus was the messiah.
If a person "confesses that Jesus is the Lord" honestly, then they are a Christian, numbnuts.
That fucking simple.
They don't have to be Christians, they just need to accept Jesus as they only Lord and savior.
Wouldn't that make them Christians?
Don't need to change who they are, but confess that Jesus is the Lord.
So I can continue to eat babies as long as I thank Jesus for it?
See, what I don't get is that, according to your doctrine, God created us to worship him. So if Muslims and Jews worship the same god, I'd think he's too much of an egomanic to turn away any form of worship. But obviously, just like an emo, he has to make a big deal about how much he suffered and wants you to too.
"Don't need to change who they are, but confess that Jesus is the Lord."
Oh, and they can't vote democrat
and they can't be gay
and they have to oppose abortion
and they can't acknowledge the evidence for evolution
and they have to own guns
and they have to treat the poor with contempt
and they have to support unrestrained capitalism blindly and without question
That's all it takes to get to Heaven. Really!
Confused?
