If you die without accepting Him into your heart then you can not go to Heaven. No matter how good of a person you are you won't go to Heaven without knowing God.
Why not try going to church? I know of many many people who have accepted Him into their lives the very first time they went.

Have you said to God, "I want to know you, show me who you are"? Have you said this with sincerity of heart? I have said this when I was very young, 8 years old. He did show me who He is! The Bible says that Christ stands at the door and knocks. If you open the door, he will lead you and show you. Some people are too proud to open the door or seek Him out! In this day and age the gospel is being preached throughout the world. There would be no reason a person would not know who He is and the truth about our Lord! The Lord would not hold you to account if you do not know the truth, he will hold you to account why you did not seek Him out and want to know the truth! BTW, one does not get eternal life based on works! If you trust in your works to save you this is a misconseption. The Bible says that ALL have sinned and fallen short! If you don't think so, try reading the 10 Commandments and checking off the ones that you commited in your life! God is a just God and will judge sinners!One is washed clean and redeemed of their sins ONLY through the blood of the Lamb! One must accept this sacrifice made by Christ in order to get life. Peace, love and forgiveness come when one lives and follows Christ and lives by his example. What God does for one person , He will do for another! Salvation is available to all! No matter what the circumstances, trust that God is a just God and will treat all with fairness! God bless you!

Have you heard the story of Jesus. That He came into the world, to set people free from sin, He died to pay the price of your sin, He was buried and on the third day He rose again and went to Heaven. Many people actually saw the resurrected Christ and spoke and even ate with Him. He told us that He was the only way to the Father in Heaven. That if any man believes in Him, they will have eternal life. Now you have heard the gospel message so yes you will not be able to tell God you did not hear it. All you need to do is pray for Jesus to save you and to come into your heart and life and to forgive you to receive eternal life. It is not enough to be peaceful and loving without Christ in your heart you are still a sinner. Only Christ can take away the sin.

Well you would have to decide which God you are talking about. Jews, Christians, Muslims , Hindus, Buddhists, and Catholics will all tell you something different. The only person who would know for sure is someone who has been through the same experience. So in my opinion I do not think any answer would do you any help. But the question is great at making you think about stuff. Thinking about stuff is great, you can learn a lot about yourself from it.

Hello dear soul,
When one stands before GOD, you can safely assume that in your lietime there was more than many chances for you to get to know him, and even the times when he delivered you from death or something that was taken place in your life. To be GOD is to be perfect, therefore for you to ask IF about something that simply states I AM, then you absence of knowledge about him is great. Still you know that he exist. Stop straddling the fence, and join the team that will serve him and be inhis company for eternity. Stop second guessing, what is so wrong about seekig to be good? TRUST its not meant to be easy, but with CHRIST you can go thru it! You are blamed because you have no faith, nor did you seek to start a relationship with the Father thru Christ.

Have you ever talked to or been visited by the Witnesses of
Jehovah God? If so,then you have been exposed to the truth.If
you choose to reject or deny them then you are at risk.(Matt.24:14)
"And this good of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabitated
earth for a witness to all the nations,and then the end will come"

odds are you have heard the Truth and rejected it.
if not, here it is:
John 3: The Words of Jesus Christ (God in the flesh)
3. "Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus saith unto Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
16. "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.
17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18. 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."

I think we are all responsible for our actions, and we all have internet access here and the ability to investigate the truth for ourselves. God is All-Forgiving, but we should make an effort to investigate the Faith of God. It is possible to be forgiven in the world to come, but shouldn't we make an effort to find the truth in this world of existence?
To learn more about the truth and the Revelation of God for this day and age, see: http://bahai.org/ and http://reference.bahai.org/

All people are accountable to God whether they have “heard about Him” or not. The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). Apart from God's grace, God would give us over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. This He does for those who reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).
In reality, it is not that some people have not heard about God. Rather, the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle: everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.
The problem is, “there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God” (Romans 3:11). People reject the knowledge of God that is present in nature and in their own heart, and instead decide to worship a “god” of their own creation. It is foolish to debate the fairness of God sending someone to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Christ. People are responsible to God for what God has already revealed to them. The Bible says that people reject this knowledge, and therefore God is just in condemning them to hell.

Dear Zoe,
The Lord commands you to read the Bible. Since you live in America and there are many libraries, you can go to a library and check out one. You can also go to a bookstore and buy one for about $5.00. Also, since you have access to the internet, I am pretty sure you can find the Bible on the web.
