Believing in God doesn't get you into heaven. Even the demons believe in God. Believing that Jesus is the only way into heaven gets you into heaven. No matter how great of a person you are, your works cannot get you into heaven. God sent his son Jesus to be the atonement for our sins so that we can come to him. Its really that simple. Now on another note, a true believing, confessing that your a sinner and that you can't make it on your own, and turning your life over to him will be evident in your lifestyle. Its a one time decision and a lifetime of worship. Good works wont get you to heaven, but living for Jesus will make you desire to follow him and do works that you never thought possible.
