Some may think that being a Christian is a 'bed of roses', when, in fact, it is 'hard work', figuratively speaking. As with other monotheistic religions, Christians believe that there is only one God, in the "mystery" of the Trinity. There are three cornerstones that form Christians' relationship with God. Jesus said that the most important thing for Christians is to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbour (everyone around us) as we love ourselves. If we do not have self-love, self respect and self esteem, we will not be in a healthy frame of mind or body to love others who must always come first. (Matthew 22:37).
Jesus also told us we must love one another because by this all men will know that we are his disciples, as Jesus is God. (John 13:35).
In his letter to the Christian community of Corinth, Saint Paul told us that if we really want to show our absolute belief in God we must allow the Holy Spirit to be our sole guide and that love is all that is necessary to be a Christian. If we allow the Holy Spirit into our hearts, and hold God in awe, we will be showered with the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. We will have the ability to speak and act for God with wisdom and knowledge based on faith. We will also be given the the gift of healing, the ability to perform miracles, to prophesy, speak in tongues and have those tongues interpreted by fellow Christians. (Corithians I,12:8-13).

Would it matter what age you are when you start to believe in God and i mean like if you were 20 and you didnt believe and when you turned 21 and then you believed and then can you still go to heaven?
When you start believing in God through Jesus Christ, you have an eternal relationship with God right at that moment on (that's the Christian version). It doesn't matter how old you are. The kingdom of heaven is within you when you start having an eternal relationship with God. When we die, Christians believe that this relationship continues and God's love will never be separated from them. Most Christians believe that there will be a day when the history of humankind will come to an end, and that's when heaven will materialize.
