If they don't know about him then they can't accept him as their saviour, right?
Does that mean that they're doomed to hell?

It's one less myth they've got to deal with....

The best verse for this is Matthew 24; 14 For this good news will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations , and then the end will come. Also Acts 24; 15 where there will be a resurrection of the rightous and the unrightous( obviously ones who never had a chance to get to know God or prove themselves to him)

Rose P has it correct.
In case someone has never heard of Jesus, they become a law unto themselves.
Romans 2:11-16
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Taking into consideration that Christianity is the largest religion in the entire world, it is a safe bet that the vast majority of people know about Our Lord Jesus, regardless of which ever country they live in.

Before Christ comes, everyone will have had the chance to hear the Gospel. This, I believe, was completed in 1999. I believe that if they truly haven't, Jesus will meet them at death and give them the opportunity. I also believe that Jesus will make sure that all will hear, but it is up to the individual to listen.

lilhun?? where did you come up with that instead of making something up look it up.
No they are not doomed (does not sound like mercy or justice) but you should study and ask God for the answer ask and ye shall receive.

That's not for anyone to know with certainty, but one thing for sure, without the teachings of the Bible and the guidance it provides, they are very likely to fail spiritually in this life.

You really think God almighty is not able to send his only begotten son into all lands? Perhaps you missed that part in the book......speaking in tongues, saints still walking the earth etc.

I understand that if a person has never heard of the Christian gospel, they are judged as to how they lived their lives according to the prevailing customs of their time.

According to the Bible Christ will not return until all mankind have at least heard of Christ, and have had the oportunity to accept Him.
