Do you believe non-Christians can be saved? I personally do. Please tell me why you believe non-Christians can or cannot be saved. I appreciate all answers.

I think some of you misunderstood my question. I was trying to ask whether or not you believed non-Christians could be saved if they die as non-Christian.

I believe that it is arrogant to think we know the ways of the Creator. To say who will or will not be saved by God is simply up to God, surely better company is to be had from a peaceful Buddhist than a whining self rightious door knocker. The Bible says not to judge others lest we be judged. I think that tells me more about who will be saved.
Also, even if it tells us that the only way is through Jesus, It's not my job to limit the names, means, and ways, that God opens his paths.

Let's make this perfectly clear. At the moment of ones death, if you have already placed your faith in Christ and accepted him as your savior than you will be saved. If you are instead asking whether at the moment of death you have NOT yet accepted Him as Lord , then the answer is a giant NO. It's a polar opposite and would imply that there are other mitigating factors that would allow one into heaven. That would be completely against Christianity. What would be the purpose of Christ? He would never have had to die on the cross for our sins. Unless you are perfect and have never commited any sin (equally impossible), then no those people will not be going. It's a choice, you either accept His gracious gift or you don't. Very simple.

if non christians could not be saved, then how did you get saved? what do you think you were you before you were saved? Your question doesn't make sense. One has to be a nonchrisitan in order to be saved. As Christians we beleive we were once separated from God, lost in our sin nature, (a non-Christian) until God saved us through Jesus living a perfect life, dying on the cross for all, and then rising again. A Christian is a saved non-Christian. We all need the Lord. We all need to be saved by Him! We all need a relationship with Him! He is the Truth! Praise the Lord for His goodness!

Yeah, I believe they can be saved. Most believers were non-believers at one point. The Bible did say that its not God's will for anyone to perish but for everyone to have eternal life.
Most people are searching spiritually for that completing piece to the jig-saw puzzle called their soul. A lot of people try to use money, accomplishments, material items and other things to fill that gap, but the reality is that they're still left searching. Eventually, while they're searching, some non-believers are introduced to Christianity and find that that's exactly what they've been looking for.

I personally believe that whatever people choose to be is their choice and this question makes it sound like there is something wrong if you are not Christian. Maybe its just the way it was asked, but I believe that if youre following what you think is right, then you are saved in your own eyes and that's all that matters to me. I am agnostic, but I don't have anything against Christians. To each their own.

YES!!! This is why Jesus came to the world and died on the cross. To save us all. this is why he gave the Great Commission, ACTS 1:8
"and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. " to spread the Word.
When the jailer asked "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" the answer was (and still is)
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16: 30 & 31)
This is the only way to become a Christian. not by joining a church or trying to be good, but by having Faith and Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.

I was a former Christian, and I choose not to be saved, I don't think its the answer to life... personally I think no ones has it right yet, I know there's some sort of thing or entity that made this all is it god or just some scientist pushing this universe in a test tube, who knows. but that's just my personal take on saving some people are fine with out any religion in there life.

Yes, because Jesus died on the cross for the good and the bad.if you are a christian, just let his light shine in you, be the good example, and not the proscuter. he is not a respector of persons, and loves us all. He will leave the 99, and go after the 1 that went astray. so, yes non-christians can be saved, after all, weren't we all doomed for hell until the moment we made the choice of eternal salvation? salvation is free for the taking, it is just that some dont know how to find it, even though he waits at the door and knocks, final decision is theirs to let him in. keep trying and do not give up, but, be gentle spoken. God bless.

I deeply believe that each of us is here because of a mission.
From the very beginning, no matter what conditions to which we were born, we are here in one way or other with a purpose. This is a Truth I have discovered and cannot deny. I look at this every so often as I would a many-facetted jewel. The human story has never ceased to amaze me in its depth and meaning.

You're sweet, but come on, you can't ask Christians this question, we all know the answer already. Try something a bit more challenging. Love ya with the love of the Lord. Be Blessed!
