The reason given by Rob Bell in 'Love Wins' is because people who see the gospel as mainly a question of who 'gets into' heaven are reducing the Good News to an entrance ticket to get past the bouncer and into the club.
It's s diminishment of the gospel to one of entrancing rather than one of joyous participation. Jesus tells us that he is one with God and that we can be one with him. The God he told us about has always wanted us to be in cooperative partnership with him in creating the world to become what be intends it to be.
It's not about just 'getting in' somewhere else. It's about peace in our soul and also about asking and learning, and creating and sharing good things. Like good parties.
