In the Bible it is stressed over and over that you must accept Jesus in order to be saved, that Jesus is the only way to get to the father. Evidently, many Christians desperately try to convert everyone to Christianity. This all makes it very obvious that it is very "essential" in Christianity that you accept Jesus.
Now the question arises: What about those who were born before Christ Himself; Died before birth; what about those who have never heard of Jesus? There are many remote areas around the world "today" where no one has ever even heard the slightest bit of Jesus ! If these people can get to heaven without having to accept Jesus, then accepting Jesus as your savior doesn't seem so "essential" after all.
And to say these people will have the chance to accept Jesus on Judgement day is erronous. Why? If Jesus appeared right in front of them, then they do not accept Jesus through faith but through certainty.
Lets see if I can get a straight answer from this.
