9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
However, if you don't do the will of God and bear good fruit, you will not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
The fruits of the spirit is this :
Galatians 5:22-23
New International Version (NIV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:19
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

If you find your self doing these things then perhaps you need to seek God closer and get more into the Bible, with much prayer and fasting. The book of 1 John is an excellent book on love.
if you have love in your heart then you will walk in Gods will and follow his commandments
Mathew 22: 37-40
37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Proverbs 6: 16-19
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren
If you find yourself doing these things then how can you call yourself a christian . If someone does you wrong then you must forgive them or you can't go to Heaven.
Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Walking in love and bearing good fruit means loving everyone and not having hatred in your heart. It also means turning the other cheek. However, I will be the first to admit I am not so good at that part, but I am praying and asking God to help me and you should too.
Also, we are to be good lights to the world ,and how are we to make people want what we have if we continue in strife and vain arguments, gossiping and slandering our fellow man. Why we might as well be sinners. No one is going to want what you have IF they see that you are no different then the world.
Talking about each other and making fun of them and putting them down is just showing how little of a person you are. It is petty and unchristian like. These people will NOT enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
Christians are not to argue or hate each other. We are to have love for one another and forgive . We are to be peace makers not trouble makers. What light are we showing to the world by back stabbing and making fun of people and acting like sinners. Why even bother trying to be a christian if your fruit is no better then this. The world is watching us and judging us to see how we react to certain things. It is easy to fall prey to the enemies tactics. That is why it is so important to stay prayed up and studied up. The enemy is going around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Put on the whole armor of God so you may stand the enemies attacks.
Ephesians 6:11-19
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
