Interesting point, Tigger, but from a strictly Christian point of view there is nothing short of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your savior that can get you to heaven. That being said, good deeds should come out of your relationship with the Lord as fruits of the spirit.
For instance: What sense does it make to belong to one political party and yet still think, feel, and vote from the perspective of another party? You demonstrate your trust and affiliation by behaving and believing in that party.
Love and trust Jesus Christ as your savior, and remember to behave in ways that please him.
