Would Muslims go to heaven as well as christians?

Asked Sep 21, 2007, 09:43 PM — 20 Answers
Okay Firstly its worth saying that I'm an atheist and my interest here is purely academic.

Now if we were to assume that the christian hypothesis of how the world works was true then your place in heaven is granted upon condition of not committing any sin (as detailed in the 10 commandments) and of believing in the existence of jesus christ.

Now islam is a derivation of the christian faith and so it contains the same god and the same commandments in addition to this it also details the and acknowledges the prophet Jesus Christ. Where it differs from christianity is that it believes that in addition to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus there was a 7th prophet by the name of Mohammed.

I am confused about how this would hypothetically bar a muslim from the gates to heaven?

In essence I want to know if a christian would believe that a muslim would be permitted into his understanding of heaven and if not then for what reason is this the case?

Well the ONLY way anyone this side of the cross gets to heaven is thru Jesus Christ.
John 14:6

I am the way, the truth and the life NO ONE comes to the Father but by ME. ( Jesus said this)

The ten comandments cannot be kept by fallen man so they have NOTHING to do with salvation. ALL they do is make us realize we CAN'T get to heaven by good works.

Yes, a muslim can go to heaven. He just needs to confess Jesus IS LORD. This is according to the Bible and. I have no other authority as a Christian. That is what the Bible says.
