If someone is buddhist and they never even hear the word god or know nothing but their religion that they grew up with do you think they will go to hell. What about christains from different denominations, do you think one has to be a member of a certain denomination to go to heaven.

Jon: The answer is an emphatic NO !!! God is in the saving business and does not take to burning people in a fire, on a wiener stick forever ... especially those, who never, even, heard of Jesus nor were allowed to practice Christianity. "Hell" does not exist but is a MIStranslation of the Greek word "hades" for which the New Testament of the Bible was originally written in. "Hades" is more properly rendered as, "grave" or "a hole" - not an eternal fire which burns forever !!! You do not have to belong nor have an affiliation with any religion, church or group. The object is to have a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ ... it is all about SPIRITUALITY not religion !!! Anyone can CONform but to live as a genuine Christian means to TRANSform !!! More "Jesus" ... less religion !!!

No. No one single religion has a corner or market on Heaven. Christ came to save all, not just members of one given faith. I'm not sure about the Buddhist question. We'll just have to leave that up to God We can know this. It will be the fair, honorable, acceptable, and right answer.

All of mankind was cut off from God and remains seperated from God to this day... yet... All have The Way open to them because every one of mankind has a knowledge of God within them... All who come to God in The Way He prescribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and will become of The Body of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The head. "Denominations" do not exist in The Church... and only those of The Church will enter Heaven....... when The Church is called out of this earth many "denominations" will still have large memberships... as a whole lot who "think" they are saved will find out they are not and they have been left behind...... The vast majority of mankind will not make it to Heaven.... But those of The Church are trying still to get The Word... The Good News... to as many as possable before we leave this earth.

According to islamic teaching all the loyal followers of a prophet in line with his era will go to heaven and the opposers had been demolished or killed by Allah the only one God at the era of each prophet..But after Islam came out which was brought by Muham-
mad pbuh as the last prophet,the opposers will be let alive after their certain age.All humans after Islam came out will be tested by Allah whether they obey Allah's instructions and prohibitions stated in the holy Qur'an.They who obeyed it fully will go straight to heaven.But they who obeyed only part of them they will go to hell and after they punished they will go to heaven.All of the opposers including the unbelievers or atheists,Jews and Christians will go to hell and be punished eternally..In line with islamic teaching the religion from Allah is only Jewish,Christianity and Islam.The other religions such as Buddha,Hindhu,Tao etc are not the religion given by God..This religions were made by humans.In this modern world with the sophisticated telecommiunication and communication I think there is no single people who does not know and hear Islam.Muslims live everywhere in this world and the Qur'an has been translated into various languages.They can learn it if they want. eagerly.

“Allah never changes the condition of a nation unless it change what is in its heart”.
“Whoever seeks the harvest of the hereafter, We shall give it to him in abundance, and whoever seeks the harvest of the world, We give him a share of it. But in the hereafter he shall have no share”.
“Allah did not do injustice to them, but they had wronged themselves”.
“We have shown man the right path. Now it is upto him to be grateful or thankless”.
