Many people make the mistake of confusing God with Religion. Belonging to a Religion is not what gets you to heaven, Jesus is. No matter how much one prays, begs, worships, tries to be good, or follows a particular belief they will not get to heaven unless they know Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Scriptures
Showing You Are Not Saved by Religion:
"The
same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that
thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles
that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto
him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second
time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of
the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which
is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit
is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born
again."
- John 3:2-7
"Who
will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the
truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be
testified in due time."
- I Timothy 2:4-6
"If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." -I John 5:9-13
