Pascal's wager is irrelevant. It's true that you can't make yourself believe in Christ. That belief comes from God to a person who is open to it. Also, we don't follow Christ simply because we want to go to heaven, but because we believe he is the son of God, and as such we belong to him. Even if there was no heaven we would still be bound to follow him. Jesus spoke sparingly of hell and the writers of the new testament never preached "fire and brimstone". If a person professes christianity simply to avoid hell, I would seriously doubt that he is a true believer.
