They can't be held accountable for what they haven't heard.
My opinoin is that it seems that all cultures believe in a creation story, a worldwide flood story, a afterlife. I don't think that the creator is as narrow as us humans who put him in a church and think we are the only ones who will make it to heaven.
If some say to this..........."but they haven't heard about Jesus" The Bible says......"the only way to the father is through the son."
Well there is the trinity....the Father, Son & the Holy Spirit.
Therefor if a tribe that never heard of civilation worships their version of the creator , then why would the creator hold them responsible for not knowing the official human form of religion.
Mankind is much more judgmental than the Creator is.
To the person who answered the question by saying they will go to hellll. Remember judge not lest you be judged.
If we who consider ourselves believers truely think about time and creation we can't put God in the box we keep him in. He is so much greater than our religion version of him.

God wouldn't throw people in Hell for not hearing of the Bible. Everybody has the natural moral law written on their hearts, so if those people do what is good, even if they have never heard of Jesus, they can go to Heaven. Even the Bible says that.
Rom 2:13-14: "For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. When Gentiles who do not have the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do no have the law."

Romans God shall render to each guy in accordance to his deeds—the two Jews and Gentiles judged by gospel rules John Jesus is the vine; his disciples are the branches—He discourses on suitable regulation of love—His servants have been chosen and ordained by him—worldwide hates and fights genuine faith—Promise of the Comforter, the Spirit of reality. attempt examining the Plan of Salvation first Isa. fifty 3: 5, Acts 4: 12, a million Cor. 15: 22, Eph. 2: 8, Titus a million: 2, Heb. 5: 9, a million puppy. a million: 20, a million puppy. 4: 6, a million Jn. 2: a million, Rev. a million: 6, Rev. 3: 21 If we are eternal beings having a mortal journey, why might we no longer study with reference to the Gospel contained in the presence of our Father in Heaven.

Has that occurred yet?

Each person has a soul or spirit given to him by God.
You can not be a partial Christian.Either you are in all the way or not.If you are a partial Christian you are setting limits on what God can do. A Christian should believe any person has a soul. The soul is part of God. Therefore every person is hearing about God.

My husband and I have talked about this many times. The other interesting topic is babies that die. Sad, don't get me wrong, but interesting in the sense that people believe so many different things. Now to answer with my opinion. I believe that a person who has no knowlege of God, the Bible, Jesus, sin, etc. is going to be judged differently. They will still be held accountable for their actions, but I do not believe that our just, loving God would condemn a person who did not know about Him. Also, I believe that babies and children are 'innocent'. Yes, there is the point about original sin, but babies and young children know nothing about it. I believe they automatically go to Heaven.

We will all be judged for our inner qualities and not our allegience to religeon or belief. Truth, Compassion, and tolerance are the characteristics of God. That is all that is required to be favoured by the creator

he talks about that in the bible he said there is proof all around the world and that is also why he tells us that we need to go to all the corners of the earth to spread the word of GOD.

They go to hell. God tells us that he shows people in His creation, and that they can search Him out. Unless they are children then they will go to heaven. They are not at the age of accountability.

I think they will have the opportunity to accept or reject God= God is merciful and just- and he knows their hearts- and intentions-D

They are the lucky ones who were spared from this giant waste of time we call religion.
