I wont get into the entire debate, but I've never once heard that just believing in Jesus will make you a Christian and get you into heaven.

Belief in something is not active and does not require effort. Doing as Jesus told us(abstaining from sin, doing good works, seeking God/salvation, fasting, meditating on God's word, caring for the poor) all require effort, thought, discipline, etc. Being a Christian is to strive to become Christ-like, and simply believing that Jesus is the Son of God doesnt even begin to cover that.
