Christians believe the Bible teaches that there is only one way to heaven and that is through Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Only believers in Jesus will go to heaven. From a Christian point of view, yes it is necessary.
view on what? In general, Baptists believe that Jesus is God in the flesh, sent to Earth to die for the forgiveness of our sins, and that a believe and trust in Jesus is the only way to get to Heaven. However, Baptists have views on many different things, so if you'll be more specific, I can probably answer you question.
The main view of the catholics is that Mary was a virgin all her life, Mary intercedes for us and not Jesus, they believe Mary did not die but went to heaven.
George Whitefield (Anglican Protestant minister) once said in a story that a man went to Heaven and was met by Father Abraham and he asked whom have you in heaven: Methodists, Catholics, Baptists, etc.? Abraham looked puzzled and answered we have no one of that name here - only Christians. From Christians point of view salvation comes from believing in Jesus and accepting his gift on the cross. In John 3:16 it is written "whoever believes in him [Jesus] shall not perish but have eternal life".
A:In the Book of Hebrews, Jesus is presented as the high priest in heaven, greater than the high priests on earth. He is better than the angels, who are commanded to worship him. Jesus is the second Moses, but superior to him. Finally, Jesus is the son of God. He is not equal to God, but God has made Jesus his heir.

Certainly there are apparent references to his crucifixion, but the ancients could believe in a crucifixion in heaven.
Yes

That is a skeptical view. I believe there was a lot more to Jesus than just that, but you are free to believe what you want.
A:The heaven imagined in Acts of the Apostles is a place just above the clouds. Now that we know more about the physical universe, this is not possible. In Acts 1:9, Jesus was taken bodily up into the air, until a cloud blocked the view of his further progress. In Acts 7:55, Stephen looked up into heaven and saw Jesus on the right hand of God. A more modern view of heaven is that heaven is a place or state of grace, not quite ruling out its existence as a 'place', to satisfy traditionalists. Whether heaven is possible as a spiritual state is a matter of faith, and in faith anything is possible.Another Answer:From Genesis to Revelations, all speak to God creating the heavens (plural). The Bible refers to 3 heavens: the sky where birds fly; the darkness of space where astronomical bodies are; and the highest Heaven where the Throne of God and His spiritual beings live.
The Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
