For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18 KJV HOLY BIBLE
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 KJV HOLY BIBLE

I believe what the Bible says about this....
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
I do believe that because of Jesus Christ there will be people saved from heathen lands and elsewhere who may not have had a complete or intellectual understanding of the plan of salvation but have nevertheless emulated His character.

Jesus Christ is God. We see this in scripture.
So, if a person believed in their creator, and not in themselves, they believe in the son whom came to redeem us (pay our debt).
This would apply to those who died prior to the coming of Jesus Christ and also to those who died prior to hearing of the coming of Jesus Christ.
Now to those who have died, having heard of the redeemer, the bible states that the only way to God is through the son, Jesus Christ. So, yes sinners who have heard of Jesus Christ, but never fully submitted and trusted in him would go to hell according to the bible.
I know that it is a difficult thing to accept and The book of Romans explains this much better than I can. The rules were and are made by God, not man, and we cannot change them even if we would like them to be changed. As children, we must accept that our Parent (God) knows better than we do, and we must learn to trust in our perfect father unconditionally, even when we do not understand rules that seem rather mean and unfair to our own understanding.

For me it puts everything together. It makes everything fit. I am one who was raised up and everyone had their own ideas about things. Some of it made sense but a lot of it did really fit together for me. At about the age of 14 I set out to discover what I thought about the world and the order of things and what truth is. In my early 20"s after years of searching as many religions and schools of thought I came to know the Bible to be infallible and discovered on my journey that I had come to know the God of the Universe. It all started fitting together. Some of the things my parents and others had said was true and some of it was not. But I found out for myself. As everyone should. And I have peace. No matter what is going on in my life, and believe me this has been tested. That is another story. I have no fear of the futur because I know my God is with me and on my side. When things come up and I don't know what to do or say, I can go to God and He always gives me direction. I have a love in my life that can never be taken away, God will never leave me or forsake me. That is so truly amazing to me. I don't have to be a certain way or He will leave and that make me want to please Him. And not only will He never leave, no one can take my faith away. I know what I believe and why I believe it. So I can not be swayed. That is why I tell everyone search out truth. I have a purpose in life, I have a strength outside of myself and I have a love that is unconditional. I could talk about this forever but I will stop now. God Bless.

No, you need to make the concious decision to follow Christ and submit your life to him before it is too late (when you die) no one enters the kingdom of God except thru Jesus the Son (John 14:6)
But we know that God is a Father of second chances, there may be a chance, but there is no mention of it in the Word

Yes, for this reason.
Many, many, many died BEFORE Christ ever lived. These people will be resurrected to learn about him and his sacrifice in the future. At that time, it will be their choice whether to accept or reject his sacrifice. God is not so cruel as to destroy people for something they know nothing about. He has provided a way out for these peoples. I can give you the scriptures involved, however by doing so here, it would just take up space and 99% of the people wouldn't bother to read them anyways.
Great question!!!!

It's matters not what I believe. God says anyone who denies Christ is a liar. I don't think liars will find salvation.

I believe that is between that person and God. It's not up to us to say, "Yes! You spent your life sinning! You will go to helllllllllllll!"
No. Everyone is a sinner, even those who believe in Jesus. It's not up to ANYONE to judge anyone else for God.

Only Allah Almighty has the power of forgiveness. No prophet has entrusted the power of sending anyone to hell or heaven. For that HE has be absolute and eternal.
