All you need to do to get into [Christian] heaven is accept the Lord. If you're in heaven, you know the Lord and can't deny him.
Answer:
The story that hundreds of denominations of modern Christians use to try to explain "going to heaven or hell" is quite different from what The Bible really says.
But if these two differing accounts (the modern story and the Bible) were somehow combined into one believable system... then, it could be possible for people who are in heaven or an ever-burning hell to have a chance to "relocate" to the "other place" later on.
First of all... the Bible doesn't say "go to heaven" or "go to hell" anywhere. Well... except maybe one place. It's Lucifer who wants to "go to heaven" to be God. So, the concept of "going to some kind of heaven or other" by all the religions in the world stem from Satan's desire to go there. It's not what God promises.
"...O Lucifer, son of the morning! ...thou hast said IN THINE HEART, I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God... I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS..." (Isa.14:12-14).
That's the only passage in the Bible that comes remotely close to saying, "go to heaven."
It's kind of funny how it's Satan's heartfelt desire to go to heaven... and man's religions seem to have picked up on it and have made it their goal and heart's desire, too... while the Bible says:
"...NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven." (John 3:13)
Hardly anyone believes Jesus, of course, since most professing Christians think heaven is packed to the gills with millions of souls... and they can hardly wait to get there, themselves.
This all stems from another "false doctrine" started by Satan called the "immortality of the soul," which he planted in the mind of mankind through Eve:
"...the serpent said unto the woman, YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE..."!!! (Gen.3:4).
Our Creator says, WE DIE! "...God hath said... neither shall ye touch it, LEST YE DIE"! (verse 3)
Our Creator says, WE ARE DIRT... NOT IMMORTAL SOULS! "...for DUST THOU ART, and unto DUST SHALT THOU RETURN"! (verse 19)
The Bible says man "has a spirit." That is, a mind, intellect... which works in conjunction with the human brain - "...be renewed in the SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND." (Eph.4:23)
Nowhere does the Bible say man "has a soul." It says that man IS a soul - "...and man became a living soul." (Gen.2:7)
The Bible says that dead people "go to the grave"... not that they are immediately judged at death and sent to some kind of heaven or an ever-burning hell - "...the dead KNOW NOT ANY THING..." (Eccle.9:5).
"...there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, IN THE GRAVE, WHITHER THOU GOEST." (verse 10)
The Bible points to a future time of Judgment of the dead, when all who have lived and died down through the generations of man shall resurrect... come alive, again... and give their Creator an accounting of themselves... measured against the measuring stick of His Word, the Bible.
The Bible tells us that this "Judgment Day" will take place A THOUSAND YEARS AFTER JESUS CHRIST ESTABLISHES HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH! He will return, gather His saints unto Himself, destroy man's governments and rule the earth for a thousand years... then, the Judgment will happen.
No one is judged immediately at the time of their death according to the Bible. Judgment Day is at the END of God's plan... at the LAST DAY. In fact... He calls the last Holy Day feast each year - THE LAST GREAT DAY. It follows the seven day Feast of Tabernacles, which pictures Christ's millennial rule on the earth. The Last Great Day, the final feast day of the year, is the EIGHTH DAY... the last great day.
"...In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me..." (John 7:37).
This was all said to point out, that if the Bible is True (which it says it is)... then, no one is in heaven or an ever-burning hell... and never have been. If Jesus can be believed, no one has gone to heaven but Himself... and He came from there.
If the Bible is True (and it says it is - John 17:17)... then the dead are all in their graves or buried at sea or whatever... and are awaiting the Last Great Day of God's plan, Judgment Day.
"...they (God's gathered saints) lived and REIGNED WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND YEARS. But the rest of the dead lived not againUNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED. This is the FIRST resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the FIRST resurrection: on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." (Rev.20:4-6)
So, if the story of modern professing Christianity ANDthe Bible are BOTH true - then Jesus is mistaken; heaven is packed with immortal souls and people don't die... and go immediately to heaven or hell.
Then, at the end of God's plan... after Jesus returns and rules on the earth a thousand years, Judgment Day will begin... and all the immortal souls in heaven and hell will be resurrected and be judged all over again, thus making it possible for the populations of both places to see a turnover in numbers as well as clientele.
This, of course, doesn't make sense... but it makes one take a harder look at what foolishness people are believing as opposed to what the Bible really says.
God says no one is in heaven... so there will be no shuffling between heaven and an imaginary ever-burning hell where things burn forever but never burn up.
God says Judgment Day is the LAST DAY... not every moment someone dies. The dead are asleep in their graves awaiting Judgment Day.
"...Our friend Lazarus sleepeth... then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead." (John 11:11-14)
"O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee..." (Job 14:13-15).
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the Trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (I Cor.15:52)
God doesn't allow men into heaven, and the imaginary ever-burning hell doesn't exist. There are no people in either place to remove or to possibly reverse their residency.

∙ 14y agoNo, once a person reaches heaven, by accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there will be no more pain, suffering, sin or sorrow. There will be nothing that person will want to do but worship God. Sin will not be there, so a person would not be able to do anything to be thrown out.
