What's the definition of Martyr?

When you read the definition of martyr, what comes to mind?

1. Someone who is killed by someone for their faith/belief?

2. Someone who kills themselves for their faith/belief?

When you look at this link "Despite Plea, Indonesia Executes 3 Christians" you find the real definition of being a martyr. And you find a number of positive comments about the Christians who were martyred as defined by Oxford American Dictionary states: martyr |ˈmärtər| noun a person who is killed because of their religious or other beliefs.

But, this is the Christian way, not the Muslims way. The Oxford American Dictionary states: martyr |ˈmärtər| noun, a person who displays or exaggerates their discomfort or distress in order to obtain sympathy or admiration. This is the second definition, much like the suicide Muslim bombers of the Middle East and Indonesia.

The problem is that the Muslims think they're going to heaven doing this. Buy why? Because their pasters/clerics/teachers are teaching this in their schools, mosques, and whereever they get a place to pronounce this evil.

Mat 7: 21-23 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven {will enter.} "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

But what does the Bible state:

John 14:2-6 "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, {there} you may be also. And you know the way where I am going." Thomas *said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

So, those that are Muslims that are believing in Mohammed are NOT going to heaven!. And they're not going to heaven as a martyr.
