"Accepted Christ" is NOT the answer...
Jesus said:
Matt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven. Only those who do what my Father in heaven wants will enter.”
Look in Acts to see what the first Christians were told to do. The answer has not changed:
Acts 2:37 When the people heard this, their hearts were filled with shame. They said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” 38 Peter replied, “All of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then your sins will be forgiven. You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The New Testament says you are. But, ponder this the Bible was written by men who were inspired by God to produce writings which would lead mankind to live a more Godly life. Now these men had been forced out of the Jewish Religion and were forced to form a new religion. There writings were to serve as a guide for Christians. There writings were influenced by this movement to establish this new religion. Christians teach the essences of God is love, mercy and forgiveness. Christians teach that we are brought to salvation by God's grace and not by our own doings. Is it possible that this merciful God may extend his grace to those people that were raised in Jewish homes, Muslims homes, Buddhist homes and there religion is a product of their upbringing? I think there is going to be a lot of Christians shocked when they get to heaven by some of the people they find there.

oh dear ones yes yes yes it is true. if you dont accept christ as your personal saviour the gates of hell are open to you. but at the same time at the other side two bleeding outstretched arms are waiting for the sinners to be cleansed.
COME TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD(JESUS) IS GOOD. DONT INTERPRET OUT OF YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE. YOU TASTE AND THEN TELL WHETHER JESUS IS GOOD OR NOT. WITHOUT TASTING HIM PLEASE DONT SPREAD YOUR COMMENTS AGAINST HIM.

Yes, which is exactly where I'd like to be. All the fun people would be there. I don't believe in hell, but if I did I'd rather be there than with the sanctimonious "I told you so's".
