Yes. I think that every person who has lived a good life will have the opportunity to go to heaven.

Depends on which baptizim you are referring to.
Baptism
An immersion or sprinkling of water that signifies one's identification with a belief or cause. In Christianity it is the believer's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Rom. 6:4-54). It is done in the name and authority (Acts 4:7) of Christ with the baptismal formula of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19). It does not save us (1 Pet. 3:21). However, it is our obligation, as believers, to receive it. Some maintain that baptism is necessary for salvation. It is not.
Baptismal Regeneration
The belief that baptism is essential to salvation, that it is the means where forgiveness of sins is made real to the believer. This is incorrect. Paul said that he came to preach the gospel, not to baptize (1 Cor. 1:14-17). If baptism were essential to salvation, then Paul would have included it in his standard practice and preaching of the salvation message of Jesus, but he did not. (See also Col. 2:10-11.)

Baptism is only a sign that you have left your old life behind and have repented John the baptist said there was one coming that was greter than him and almost did not baptize Jesus because he knew He was withou sin! All one has to do is believe on the one Sent! his name is Jesus and believe until the end! John 6:29 beleive on the one sent! John 7:35-39,Matthew24:13 and Mark 13:13, Acts16:31...there you have it.

That has been saked sooo many times.
What do you think God would do?
Forget the churches or any religious view.
A good rightous person in the jungle who understands there is a spirit world and aknowledges that concept.
I can not concieve God to rejecting them.
