both ways. One either believes Jesus is the son of God, or one doesn't. One either follows the teachings of the New Testament, or one doesn't.
Actually, the only criteria for getting into Heaven is John 3:16. That's very clear.
If a Jew, Catholic, Born Againer, Alien follows that scripture, then they're in.
Remember, the point of Christ's appearance here on earth, his subsequent death and resurrection, was to offer redemption for humans, and to re-establish God's law (so, for example, the Old Testament teachings would take second place to the New Testament).
I can get all sorts of info about this from the Bible, if you'd like. I find it fascinating still, even though I am no longer a Christian.
But what you explain Lou, is directly from the New Testament, 'Revelations' to be exact, and therefore falls under the "philosophy" of Christiandom.
