Oh, well that's not their motivation because they say it's not! They're good people because they're good people, and it's merely coincidental that Jesus just so happens to be waving the biggest carrot and stick ever conceived in front of their face, and they just to happen to be behaving in a way that is compatible with getting that carrot. Also, ignore all that talk about looking forward to heaven and being heaven-bound; that's not their motivation. It's just a consolation prize.
They're just good people; however, they will totally tell nonbelievers about this carrot and stick in an attempt to get them to believe too. Which... makes the non-believer into a good person who's just doing good things cuz they're good people, too?
