"there's only one way to heaven through Jesus Christ"

It has nothing to do with what church you worship at. Going to a church doesn't make you a Christian any more than being in a garage makes you a car.

It is only about accepting God's FREE gift. If you don't want His free gift, you will someday get exactly what you desired - eternity without God, which is hell.

But won't your car last longer, and stay cleaner, if it's garage-kept?

"It is only about accepting God's FREE gift. If you don't want His free gift, you will someday get exactly what you desired - eternity without God, which is hell."

How refreshing those words are. The whole concept of an eternal hell fire and brimstone just doesn't line up with the Scriptures. Yet way too many Christians seem to use it from a "if you don't believe as I do you're going to hell!"
And how many times has "hell" been tried to scare someone into believing in God or His Son Jesus Christ? It just doesn't work that way.

Hell is "sheol" in Hebrew which simply is the place of the dead; 6 feet under.
