To all Christians. Do you think that a person who lived a good life, lived humbly and kindly, never spoke angry words, gave unconditional love to everyone, but never was Christian, someone who didn't affiliate themselves with any religion, but led a spiritual life, would go to Heaven?

In all honestly I do not know but I hope so.
Jesus talks about those who serve others will be on his right hand side, this is an indication of eternal blessings who are servants of others.
Jesus also said that he is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through him.
So if anyone has access to the Father, that is being in heaven, without Jesus this would be an exception and not the rule. And I hope as many people as possibly go to heaven.
The Bible also says that heaven is the inheritance for those who are in the Family of God. And according to the Bible only those who are IN CHRIST, are in the family of God.
So, though I do not know the eternal destiny of such a person as you have stated I hope they will go to heaven. However, this would be the exception and not the rule. According the Bible one must be in Christ. So as long as I live I will testify concerning Him and share my faith with others so they may be in Christ and have the security of the Holy Spirit dwelling in their hearts and join God in the heavenly realms.

No one can say for sure. But the whole point of Christianity is that there is one who not only showed the way, but proved it by giving his life as an example. He proved that he alone had the power to overcome death. He became the way. No other human philosophy or religion has survived the centuries, has prophecized and fulfilled, has promised and proved and given witness to the things that represent real life, than has true Christianity. Accurate testimonies and biographies of real Christians through the centuries testify to this.

There is only one way to heaven and that is through JESUS. One must confess belief that he is the only begotten SON of GOD born of a virgin, crucified , died and rose from the dead and that his blood is the payment for redemption. Otherwise no matter how good a life one thinks they have led it will not be good enough for GOD nor will it pass them to heaven.

This is a awesome ?.
In my religion we believe that God never would not accept someone for not knowing his words or doctrines and lived a JUST life.
Some people in this life God put in there positions to not know his will yet because it was not there time to accept the gospel or learn of it yet but other things they needed to learn first.
That is the reasons for baptisims of the dead and temple ordinances. If you would like to check out these concepts and recieve a conviction of this in your heart please check out www.lds.org.
I say this in the name of christ amen.

I think they should - religions don't make sense that way
if I was really good and wasn't christian I wouldn't get into heaven but if a serial killer was christian and asked for forgivness he would go through those pearlly gates.
religions don't make sense that way?!

John 3:16 and John 14:6 pretty much sums it up.

we believe in our religion that once you die you still continue to learn (i.e you dont know everything the moment you die) and you still have the opportunity to accept Jesus as your redeemer. So yes its quite possible for someone who was never Christian while they were alive to go to heaven.

We are not saved..by the works we do..but on the basis of the sacrifice of Christ Jesus.
You never could do enough "good deeds" to cleanse your immortal soul enough to stand in the presence of God.
That's why we need a savior.

The Bible says no. "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the father but by me." John 14:6
That's pretty cut and dried. And with christianity, if you aren't with them, your against them and that means hell.

The person you are describing has never existed. No human can live as you suggest---the devil will not allow it. Jesus was/is the God-man, someone more than human.
