Can you answer the question? or just dance around it.
Sorry, in my mind I did answer it but I realize some further explanation would be helpful. You are talking about "going to heaven". I can't think of a place in the scripture that uses that terminology. It speaks of entering the kingdom of heaven/God, and it further defines the the kingdom of God as righteousness, peace and joy in the Spirit. In other words, aisi, entering the kingdom of heaven is the state of mind we inhabit when we are experiencing Christ in us. Christ IS love. Therefore, when we are experiencing love, we have entered the kingdom of heaven.

Sorry, that was cryptic again. I'm sort of fly-by posting right now because I'm in the middle of doing other things. So let me just expand on this...
What specifically I experience when this physical life is over doesn't really matter. All that matters, imo, is that God/Love is our ultimate reality. ("God will be all in all.") I trust God, therefore I'm not worried about what will happen.
What do you believe in? What do you put your faith in?
That's easy. I believe in God the Father and in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son our Lord -- I believe in the living power of God's indwelling Holy Spirit and in God's inspired written Word, the Bible.
Any time the world differs in even the smallest issue, I know that the world is wrong and God is right! I know how the story unfolds and the future of the world, Israel and mankind. I have no fear in life and amazed at how the peace of God that passes all understanding fills my life.
This life, world and my old carcass are passing away, but God's Kingdom and the Spirit world are always new and exciting. If I die today, I will count it gain, but, if I live until tomorrow, I will count it as a blessing and another opportunity to serve my Lord. Praise be to God!

See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
oh and this one....
