Satan has convinced multitudes that they are saved when they are not. The Holy Spirit is God's mark of ownership. All that have been bought by Christ belong to God and are indwelt with the Holy Spirit. They have heard the Gospel, they have believed the Gospel and have been born again by the word of God, which is the Gospel, 1 Peter 1:23.

Faith in Christ and his Gospel is the entrance into heaven.

"In whom you also trusted after you heard the word of truth, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION: In whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise" Ephesians 1:13.

There is no other way to be saved outside of hearing and believing the Gospel. The apostle John said,

"Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they be of God" 1 John 4:1.

The Gospel is that work that Jesus did in our name and on our behalf that saves and justifies us. In our name and on our behalf Jesus offers to God the Father a life of perfect obedience according to his holy law, Matthew 5:18. In our name and on our behalf Jesus atones for our sins and the sins of the whole world" 1 John 2:2. All that embrace the Gospel as their only means of salvation are granted the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ and is like Christ. Here are some evidences of the Holy Spirit.

He guides the Christian into the truth.
He does not speak of himself.
He glorifies Christ and his Gospel.
He reveals the Gospel to the believer.
He testifies of Christ.
John 15:26, John 16:13,14.

It is very obvious that the Holy Spirit is Christ centered and is not religion centered, "He does not speak of himself" nor will one that is indwelt with the Holy Spirit. Religion is basically about man and his preoccupation with his own spirituality, which is himself.
