Barna Says 1/3 of Christians Think Good People Will Go to Heaven

In a survey conducted by the Barna Research Group, nearly 33% of professing, born-again Christians stated that all good people will go to heaven, whether they have embraced Jesus Christ or not. While 88% in a recent Barna poll believe Jesus Christ was a real person, what they believe about Him differs sharply from scriptural teaching. 42% believe that while on earth Jesus sinned just like other people. 61% believe the devil is just a symbol of evil, not a living being. And 54% think that if people are good enough, they will earn a place in heaven regardless of their religious beliefs. (Barna Research Group).
