Seek God first above all things. Seek(pursue) God Himself in a relationship with Him. Then go on to Seek His kingdom. Meaning help other become saved as well. That "I feel freaking awesome feeling once a person meets God" isn't just some cool confirmation one gets when meeting God so they can say "Hey dudes, it worked, I'm in because I felt..."... no... it's because God give you a sample of Heaven while you still live here on earth when you submit to Him and accept His love and forgiveness for sins. And you will keep that complete forgiveness so long as you remain with Him the rest of your life.
God exists and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Faith in God is for salvation. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." Hebrews 11:6, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Hebrews 10:38, "Now the just shall live by faith."
I am not part of any denomination, but any that does not teach you to prepare for the second coming would be one that I would avoid. Maybe it is just that particular church. I have found through my years of study of the Word of God that we can seek out for ourselves the answers. Jesus said to seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Trust Him and spend time with Jesus in his word. That, by the by, is the way you prepare yourself for the second coming.
The idea that God chooses only certain individuals for salvation is called predestination or Calvinism. It is a belief commonly associated with the teachings of John Calvin in Protestant Christianity.
"He that approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him."-Heb. 11:6.
Maybe, maybe not. I don't believe so; others do. I suppose only time will tell if there's any truth to it or not.Jesus himself said He was the light of the world:Joh 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."Light dispells darkness and all things can be seen as they are. The trouble is if you wait for time to tell, you maybe too late.Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.Seek God and you will know - Jesus is the light.

That isn't how it works. Christians do not forgive atheists into heaven. Besides, Christians are to forgive everyone who does wrong against them. And your just being an atheist is not doing something against a Christian. It is your heavenly Father who will forgive you. But, only if you ask Him to. And, you should learn about God, and the great sacrifice He made for you by sending His only Son to earth to die for your sins. When you repent, all your sins will be forgiven by God. Whether or not you believe in God, He loves you, and He knows you. There will be no atheists in heaven. Eternal live is given only to those who believe. You have to believe that God exists and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Atheists will be condemned for their unbelief and be receive everlasting death.
