Nobody goes to Hell. It doesn't exist, neither does Heaven.

The Bible says that he will not return until everyone has heard and has been given a chance to know him. There are too many avenues in which people can learn about God..not just word of mouth by people. The Bible, Tracts, TV, written articles in magazines/newspapers, etc. God is a just God and he will not send those to Hell who have never heard but EVERY one will have a chance to know him.

I heard a true story once about a missionary. He was in the darkest part of the jungles of Africa. Every tribe he came upon was like any other tribe. But he came upon this one tribe. The people were wearing clothes and they worked hard. The missionary asked the chief why they acted like this. He said that one day he was sitting there and he looked down at his hands and realized how complicated yet perfect they were made. He came and shared this with his fellow tribe-people. They all came to worship the God who made their hands. They didn't know his name or anything about Him except that He created everything. I think that wherever you are, God can send something to show His majesty and glory for you to realize who He is.

the answer to your question is no. they wont go to hell. but if they have heard and just reject the word, then yes. i know it all sounds like bologney, but its not i promise. oh and i also saw your question about knowing if the bible is really the word of God. i believe whole heartdly [sp?] it is. it bascially just comes down the the faith part.
in Hebrews 11:1 it says "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." [this book was written by Paul] if you have a bible, i think it would be a good idea to read Hebrews 11..its pretty much all about faith.

As a Mormon, I believe unequivocally NO.
Everyone in this life, or the next, will get a full chance to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and choose to accept it or reject it.
Many Christian faiths that I am familiar with have taught that they do go to hell - at least that is what they have told me.
I found the very idea of that completely asinine.

Is God less just than man? Those who have never had the chance to hear about the love of God will only be judged on the light they have received. Nature declares the glory of God. Love of parents, friends, classmates, etc tells of the Creator and Sustainer. Kindergarteners are not tested on Calculus.

God has put it on man's heart that He exists. The Bible tells us that the gospel will reach the 4 corners of the Earth. Many missionaries are out there now spreading the good news!
Also see Romans 1:20

Yes. That is why you are commanded to go and tell others about the Gospel.

I hope so, Hell sounds like a lot more fun than Heaven!

No, they have/will have the opportunity to hear and choose Christ for themselves, on the other side.
