Many New Age groups teach that Jesus Christ is not the only way to Heaven. They teach that there are millions of ways to God, Heaven, eternal life, or the light. Oprah Winfrey recently said on her show that Jesus could not be the only way to God.
In summer 2008, a poll indicated that only 43% of evangelical believers believe that Jesus is the only way. That means that a majority of born-again believers in America believe that other religions can lead to eternal life.
To discover the answer to this question, we must ask, “What do we accept as our source of truth?” Once we establish how we define truth, then we can answer this and other questionable doctrinal issues. If a person acknowledges that he/she is a Christian, then he/she cannot be a Christian if he/she does not believe what the Bible says. What does the Bible say about Jesus as the only way to God? Does it acknowledge other religions?
