That's a decision for Jesus to make - not anyone on this earth.

Nobody is going to hell because there is no place like that within or beyond the universe.
Saving a life is worth of nothing if it is not done with consciously selfless love. The leech which saved a man from blood coagulum would not reach heavenly bliss.
And man can only perform true act of selfless love when he consciously submits his will to the Will of the One True God.

If it was an accident then the Non-Christian would go to hell but if it was intentional then he would not. Not all Non-Christians go to hell! Only those who turn away from God! Before Jesus, does that mean that everyone who lived would go to hell? No, it depends on what they do, not always what they believe. A killing Christian is the negative opposite of a caring Buddhist. Sometimes, God doesn't judge religion. Then, who am I to say what God does?

Man is Judge on Earth appointed by God (doesn't mean man's a perfect Judge either) ... God is Judge in Heaven & Earth (but ah, He's Perfect!).
God predestines no one to go to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. However, this does not stop the Christains from the need to pre-pair all souls by sharing the Glory of God.

you pose an interesting Moral question...similar to if a child who has done nothing wrong dies before accepting Christ does he go to heaven? or...if someone never heard about Jesus dies does he still get to go to heaven...i mean its not his fault he never got to hear about Christ.
In the Bible Jesus says..."i am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me." implying that the only way to get a relationship with God is by believing in Christ as the Savior.
In Church i was taught that only Believers in Christ can end up in heaven. It was explained to me that we are all sinful and only Jesus can "wash" the sin away. It doesnt matter how good you are you are still sinful and in need of "redemption"
It is my personal opinion as a Christian that we as humans are not capable to judge others. I also have experience that God is a very merciful God. To finish my babbling only God can make that decision.

No greater love hath any man than this, that he lay down his life for another. I think that person would be welcomed into paradise where he would be taught about the saving graces of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and subsequently welcomed into heaven. Remember the two thieves on the cross, one who acknowledged his guilt was invited to paradise while the other who cursed Christ was not. I'm sure that the saving of another will make up for a lot of errors otherwise committed. For inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me.

There are no good deeds that you can do on your own that will erase the sins that you have committed. Jesus SHED BLOOD for you sins. He came to save you from the GUILT of past sins and the POWER of sin over your life.
However I personally know that God himself shall decide in the end.

The question isn't what you did. The question is, Who do you believe in. If you believe in Jesus The Christ as the One and Only God, then, you'll go to heaven. If not, then you won't. It's as simple as that. And there's a kind of pathetic humor in people posing these "questions" to see if they can get around God. Sorry, bloke. You can't get around God, no matter what games you play here. God Bless you.

We are all flawed and unworthy, it is by God's grace alone that we can come to know Him and through Him attain eternal life. To think that you can do anything to "earn" your way into heaven is wrong. And in that is one of our greatest challenges to accepting eternal life. We must understand that we our powerless in our own, and accepting help and releasing control to another (God) is a very difficult proposition for many people.

In the bible it says you can ensure an afterlife in heaven by laying down your life for someone else so I'm gonna go with no. They will go to Heaven Its one of the most selfless things anyone can do really, I'm not religious so I hope thats the case anyway!

For those people who say "That's up to God" DON'T YOU READ THE BIBLE?
OMG, he says it over and over in the N.T., that the only way to heaven or eternal life is through the acceptance of his Son, Jesus as our Lord and Savior and so THERE IT IS! Question answered!
