There are many different kinds of churches.

Even within the category of "church," there are many different kinds of churches...

Especially Christian heresies (Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, the former Unification Church...) also proselytize, claiming, "We are the true Christians!"

They (the heretics) do not pass through the gate of Jesus.

Without passing through the gate of Jesus, there is no eternal life.

To be more specific 🤔
Without crossing the cross ✝️, you cannot go to heaven!

There is a group of church members who support the Prosperity Theology.

I once accompanied this group on one of their evangelistic missions.

…To put it simply…
"If you believe in Jesus today…
Your finances will be blessed❗️. You will become healthy. Your business will also succeed… and you will go to heaven✌️😃"
✳️…If you can be blessed this much just by believing…😍
…There was no mention of Jesus’ cross✝️…
We didn’t even hear about the crucial topic of “repentance”…😨

Unless your [sin] is resolved…
You cannot enter heaven.
…Matthew 7:13.
"Enter through the narrow gate.
For wide is the gate and wide is the road that leads to destruction, for many enter through it."
…Have you passed through this gate (Jesus)?
…There are many Christians who don’t understand repentance😵
…Have we… passed through the gate of repentance…😳
Shalom😄.
