If the apocalypse does come today (or perhaps tomorrow) less than half of Americans believe they will go to heaven (www.independent.co.uk)

Can't refuse something that doesn't have a basis of believing. But if presented with something substantial to sway that opinion (God would know what would work, presumably) I'd accept, with conditions. First being the ability to opt out of eternity at some point, because even total bliss unending could be torture if you're aware of that sense of time. Second, I've got a few questions for this supreme being about his past work and moral choices.

If it ended like in Heinlein's "Job: A Comedy of Justice" I'd be okay with both the eternity and the answered questions.
