The Bible says who ever believes Jesus Christ is the son of God and died as a sacrifice for sin will go to heaven/have eternal life. This is also what Jesus taught. Jesus said this:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Jesus also said:
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6
Another answer:
I am sure some Christians believe that, but many do not. Even strict Catholicism teaches 'baptism of desire,' the possibility that people other than baptized Christians are eligible for heaven.
Another answer:
Some Christians believe that eventually everyone will believe (every knee shall bow), so everyone will be saved in one way or another at that point. Then only difference between people in the end will be how we lived our lives... so living a good life is important, but so is getting to know God.
Another answer:
He also said that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:26). God expects the whole package... belief, faith, dedication, actions.

Do Christians believe all Jews go to hell?
There are so many different opinion's I've heard, but I think most Christians don't believe that. To be honest I think that many Christians don't have an opinion on this subject. I , myself am a christian. And I don't think so. Also christians have NO problems with Jews what so ever. (Well I Think Maybe only a few small groups do. It depends on the way people interpreted the Bible.) I Think The Main Thing Is That You're Good, So If Heaven Was Real You'd Have A Good Chance Of Going There.
