There are Christians, who believe the Jews go to heaven even if they do not trust in Christ for their salvation. I think Dispinsationlists in particular hold to this, but am not certain that all dispinsationlists do.
"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" John 3:18
Why do they believe this in light of this verses , and many others that state you must trust in Christ alone for your salvation.
"For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him, should not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16

Yes, i do believe jews can be saved, and that many are. One of the ministers in my church is a jew.
I am reffering to the people who believe jews as a race, every single on of them, is saved simply because they are of abraham and are therefore Gods chosen people, which must be saved regardless of if the y trust in Christ for their salvation or not.

In John 3, Christ was talking to Jews, so dosn't it make sense that he was saying to the people he was talking to that unless they believe on him they are not saved?

Because they do not read the word of God. Because if they did they would know that is not correct. Even though the Jews are Gods chosen people they will have to except Jesus to enter into Heaven just as we do. God is no respector of Persons he treats us all the same.

I personally believe it's best to leave the sorting out of who goes to heaven and who goes to hell up to God.
Jesus was with God from the beginning of the universe. So, Jesus was there when God gave the Jews the law. Jesus fulfilled the law - but the people who still live by the law, must live by it richeously. The Gentiles (non-jews) have only one option available to them - and that is salvation through Christ Jesus.
I don't know the answer, but I find it very hard to believe that there won't be Jews in heaven - they ARE God's people afterall.

Dispensationalism: A method of interpreting the Bible that divides history into distinct eras or "dispensations" in which God deals with man in a distinctive way and, in some cases, in which God's ethical standards change. A leading distinctive of dispensationalism is the sharp division between ethnic Israel and the church of Jesus Christ. Orthodox Christianity has traditionally held that the church of Jesus Christ is the New Israel; dispensationalists hold that ethnic Israel and the church of Jesus Christ are two separate, distinct entities in God's program. All dispensationalists are premillennial, but not all premillennialists are dispensationalists.

You need to read the next few verses after that. esp 19&20&21 where it talks about what we do and what it means.
You can believe all you want if you do not do the truth, then you are condemned.

I trust that God will make the right decision. I do not have problem if Jew will get saved, then I think that my Atheist and Agnostic friends would make it to heaven too. More people go to heaven the better.I do not wish hell to anyone.

I would say that if Jewish people can go to Heaven without belief in Jesus then someone has to apologize to many Saints who were martyred needlessly.

I will leave the eternal destination of those of the Jewish faith to Jehovah God.
That is between God and His chosen people.
you and I should keep our noses out of that one.
