I think the only way to salvation is through Jesus.

God loves you and does not want you to burn in hell forever, but if you CHOOSE to not be a Christian, then can not enter the kingdom of Heaven. You are, in fact, CHOOSING to go to Hell.
I believe that because that is what the Bible says and I want to help save people.

As Christians we are not appointed to judge who will go to hell and who won't. I agree that Jesus is the only way to salvation, but do not give up hope that lots of people who are not saved today will be eventually. The bible says that some people are under a spirit of slumber becuase God put them that way. Pray for nonbelievers, but asking a question the way you have will just turn people away from us and more importantly Him. God bless you.

I disagree and I am a Christian. There are provisions within Christian doctrine for those who do not know or can not accept Jesus in this live. Also I personally think that those who follow another religion, and do so in a love your neighbor sort of way are going the same place that the 'born again' Christian is. The bottom line, the fine print, is "how much did you Love".

some religions teach that if a person lives a bad life, after death he will go to a place of fiery torment to suffer forever. This teaching dishonors God. Jehovah is a God of love and would never make people suffer in this way. (1Â John 4:8) How would you feel about a man who punished a disobedient child by holding his hands in a fire? Would you respect such a man? In fact, would you even want to get to know him? Definitely not! You would likely think that he was very cruel. Yet, Satan wants us to believe that Jehovah tortures people in fire forever—for countless billions of years!

As a Christian I can not tell anyone if they are doomed to hell or not...that is God's job....I am commanded to only love and not judge.
the Bible says that the only way to God is through Jesus, His only Son...that by believing in Him we will have everlasting life with Him. That does not say we have the right to judge anyone to hell...only that we have life everlasting with Him.
God will judge that aspect....and those who have smart answers...remember always that regardless of what you say, God loves you no matter what, just as He loves the Christian. And you Christians....you have no right to say if anyone is going to hell....to say so you are placing yourself in as God...which you clearly are not.

Yes I am christian and I believe that hindus and atheists won't go to hell. Why? God is a loving God he created us all whether hindus or atheists, we are all his children.. I believe God is merciful and his grace covers us all.. We all get to heaven by his grace not by our own merit..

That is not true.Jesus is not the only way to Heaven.We have so many religions out there like Islam,Buddhism,and Judaism.It seems like Christians(not all)think that Jesus is the only way,Jesus is the only thing,Jesus is the only dude,and Jesus is the only way to get to Heaven.We have never been to Heaven so how do we know that our only hope is Jesus.(I dont think Jesus is bad,I'm just trying to give other religions a chance)

Being a Lutheran myself, I'm not sure. However, my understanding of Hindus is that if they don't get it right the 1st time around, they get to try again until they get it right. God forgives all so I don't think the atheists have too much to worry about either.

Of course they will unless someone tells them about God and the Holy Spirit goes in there heart. But they wont be punished as badly in hell as someone who heard the word of God but refused to beleive it.

I am a Christian and believe in Jesus as a savior but as far as where other people go after they die is up to God. That is his realm not mine. People who think they know where people that are not Christian will go after they die, are usurping God's dominion.

I am of a Christian denomination, and do not think God would send any of His children down there--particularly those who don't know of Him, or weren't raised to believe in Him.
Our God is an awsome God...
I believe He forgives
