I am following Jesus. I want to go to heaven and he died for my sins.

I am not sure, I'd like to go to heaven but haven't decided to follow Jesus yet.

I think I will go to heaven because I am a good person

I do not believe in heaven or hell. We will be dead forever.

I think we will return as an animalor something else here on earth after death

You can only vote on one answer.

The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

@Carazaa And so can Matt not count, or does the book really skip numbers like that?

You don't have a choice for
I'm a Christian and I keep Biblical matters in mind, but understand it to be parable and heavily edited by humans and their political aims.
or
I'm not sure if there really is a Heaven or Hell, but I try to lead a good life that I think Jesus would be proud of.
or
I'm not a Christian and don't elevate Jesus to the same pedestal, but my faith believes in him and also teaches me of a way into Heaven.

There are literally 1000s of other possible choices that you haven't thought of.

@Carazaa Sorry, I didn't see the add'l numbers, some trick of the mind when they're imbedded.
Uh, no the choices I mentioned are not therein.
For instance, my last one represents Muslims and Jews, among others, which you might argue is like your choice #2, but there's more than a fine hair there. They follow Jesus in the sense that they don't discount his teachings, but he is not so much their focal point and -- the one's the real stickler for many X-tians -- they don't arbitrarily accept he's the descended son of God.

@xmedleft It sounds like you do not believe in heaven then, so that's the fourth choice. The Muslims, Jews, and most all other religions would choose choice 3 because they all believe they will reach God by being good. Only Christians believe we are bad and can not change without Jesus.
