Define "Christian"...Those who have accepted Christ are those I consider to be Christians - can't know one way or the other for sure except for myself, but if they accepted Him as their lord and Savior, then yes, i do believe it. Do you believe a priest, who cannot read one's heart and mind, can make the decision for you? Do you believe Christ, having died because there was no way we could be worthy without His sacrifice, would pull the rug out from under us because, having been saved, we still couldn't be worthy of our own efforts?

The pharisees were roundly castigated for primping and preening their piousness in public displays while not having God/Christ in their hearts. What makes any other mortal more deserving of belief in them than the pharisees? Pomp and rituals?

So you think every Christian goes to Heaven?

24“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. John 5:24 NASB

9Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things? 11“Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony. 12“If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

13“No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.

14“As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

15so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.

16“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

17“For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

18“He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19“This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

20“For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21“But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

John 3:9-21 NASB

Absolutely.

Every Christian goes to heaven.

They are the saved ones.

If they go to hell, they haven't been saved. Or do you not know what people are saved FROM?
