Like the people in an unknown Pigmy tribe??

God will judge their hearts.. I don't think He would throw anyone away because they were never taught.

God is too merciful and loving for that.

Now, if someone were exposed to Jesus , and they denied the Lord, then that's a different story. Yes, according to the Bible, they would go to hell. :o(

People are without excuse because all have been exposed according to Roman's 1:20-23 says, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things."

If they do not accept the saving work of Jesus Christ on the cross then they will go to hell. The Bible is very clear on this. Acts 4:12 says, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

God is just. Whatever He does with those who have never heard of Jesus Christ will be fair.

No person will be condemned for rejecting Jesus Christ of whom he or she has never heard; instead such a person will be condemned for violating his or her own moral standard, however high or low it has been. The whole world – every person, whether having heard of the Ten Commandments or not—is in sin. Romans 2 clearly tells us that every person has a standard of some kind, and that in every culture, people knowingly violate the standard they have (Romans 2:12-16).

Scripture indicates that every person has enough information from creation to know that God exists (Romans 1:20,”…so that they are without excuse”). Psalm 19 confirms this fact. Matthew 7:7-11 and Jeremiah 29:13 relate that if anyone responds to the light he or she has and seeks God, God will give him or her a chance to hear the truth about Jesus Christ.

There is no indication in the Bible that a person can be saved apart from Jesus Christ (John 14:6). Only He atoned for our sins. He is the only bridge across the chasm that separates the highest possible human achievement from the infinitely holy standard of God (Acts 4:12). We, who call ourselves Christians, must see to it that those who have not heard, hear the Gospel.

The Bible is perfectly clear concerning the judgment which awaits the individual who has heard the Gospel. When that person faces God, the issue will not be the heathen. That one person will have to account for what he or she, personally, has done with Jesus Christ. Usually someone will raise the question as a smoke screen in an effort to evade personal responsibility.

I have respect for Christians- I have several who are friends of mine. But the viewpoint that non Christians will go to hell, even if they are good, decent people is not only ignorant but extremely offensive and dangerous. It's what led to the Inquisition and other acts of intolerance against nonChristians. Please, to all you Christians out there- do not believe this insane myth!! Ask yourself- does it make sense that many many good people who were raised in a different religion would suffer in hell? Isn't Christianity supposed to be a peaceful, forgiving religion? I really don't get this belief

The gospel is being preached everywhere. God has sent many out into all the earth- He tells us to go- and Many have. He has also written His existence on the hearts of men- As it says in Romans 1:20
20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

-So yes those that never receive the gospel ( meaning accept it ) will live a life apart from God- which is hell. That is why we who are saved need to always be sharing the gospel! For God softens many hearts everyday!

First of all no-one truly knows if Christ/God exists and second of all if he does we still wouldn't know because we are not Him/Her. I'm an agnostic Christian and I would GUESS no they wouldn't that would also go for people who have and simply don't believe, people can't help in what they believe in and no one really knows if there is a divine force or not and if so what it might be.

The Bible even says that before the flood (noah) people could read the Gospel in the stars

people who have a very strong faith would say yes but i dont believe so because if the person wasnt exposed to it then how can they be expected to believe in it?
