Getting baptized is only a sign of your public profession of being saved. The only way to heaven is to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. John 3:16 states; "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" The Word of Faith brings salvation, " confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation" Romans10:9-10
It is such a simple answer to everyone's need. No works required, just confess and believe. God's grace is for all, He gives you the choice to make.

Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Why is being "baptized" called 'Works' and "confess with your mouth' and "believe in your heart" is not?
Really? Well, I better go get baptized... Oh, wait! My problem IS overbearing christians!

So it is said, you receive the holy ghost to help you on your way to ascend in to heaven. This is your right in being baptized.
Do all good people go to heaven? This is a bible Question and the bible answers it.
Acts 2:34: 29 ?Men, brothers, it is allowable to speak with freeness of speech to YOU concerning the family head David, that he both deceased and was buried and his tomb is among us to this day?.. .Notice this verse?. 34 Actually David did not ascend to the heavens------
?David [whom the Bible refers to as being ?a man agreeable to Jehovah?s heart?] did not ascend to the heavens.?
Matt. 11:11: ?Truly I say to you people, Among those born of women there has not been raised up a greater than John the Baptist; but a person that is a lesser one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he is.? (John did not go to heaven when he died.)
Ps. 37:9, 11, 29: ?Evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth . . . The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.?
You remember the Lords prayer?
(Matthew 6:9-10) 9 ?YOU must pray, then, this way: ??Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.
(Matthew 5:1-5) 5 When he saw the crowds he went up into the mountain; and after he sat down his disciples came to him; 2 and he opened his mouth and began teaching them, saying: 3 ?Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them. 4 ?Happy are those who mourn, since they will be comforted. 5 ?Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.
So the bible answers your question. No we do not all go to heaven.

To clear up another matter;
More is required of true Christians than a mere confession of faith. It is necessary that belief be demonstrated by works. (Ro 10:10; Jas 2:17, 26) Born as sinners, those who become Christians repent, turn around, dedicate their lives to Jehovah, to worship and serve him, and then submit to water baptism. (Mt 28:19; Ac 2:38; 3:19) They must keep themselves clean from fornication, from idolatry, and from eating blood. (Ac 15:20, 29) They strip off old personalities with their fits of anger, obscene talk, lying, stealing, drunkenness, and ?things like these,? and they bring their lives into accord with Bible principles. (Ga 5:19-21; 1Co 6:9-11; Eph 4:17-24; Col 3:5-10) ?Let none of you,? wrote Peter to Christians, ?suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a busybody in other people?s matters.? (1Pe 4:15) Christians are to be kind and considerate, mild-tempered and long-suffering, lovingly exercising self-control. (Ga 5:22, 23; Col 3:12-14) They provide and care for their own and love their neighbors as themselves. (1Ti 5:8; Ga 6:10; Mt 22:36-40; Ro 13:8-10) The main identifying quality by which true Christians are recognized is the outstanding love they have toward one another. ?By this,? Jesus said, ?all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.??Joh 13:34, 35; 15:12, 13.
(Revelation 22:12-15) ??Look! I am coming quickly, and the reward I give is with me, to render to each one as his work is. 13 I am the Al'pha and the O?me'ga, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14 Happy are those who wash their robes, that the authority [to go] to the trees of life may be theirs and that they may gain entrance into the city by its gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and those who practice spiritism and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone liking and carrying on a lie.?

To The person who rated this not an answer. --Thats ok, but If you have not studied the bible with Jehovahs Witnesses The only thing you have to judge anything on, is your opinion. That's like asking a man who has never seen an airplane to explain why they fly. How much do value truth? In the loving words of a father, wise King Solomon of ancient Israel says: ?My son, if you will receive my sayings and treasure up my own commandments with yourself, so as to pay attention to wisdom with your ear, that you may incline your heart to discernment; if, moreover, you call out for understanding itself and you give forth your voice for discernment itself, if you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep searching for it, in that case you will understand the fear of Jehovah, and you will find the very knowledge of God.??Proverbs?2:1-5.
