are there any sects of christianity that says nonchristians can go to heaven?

Question

i hope so.

i am christian. i think atheists, pagans and others should go to heaven. i think only extremely evil people should go to hell.

Answer 1

I think the Roman Catholic Church thinks that way (once Pope John Paul II came around.) However, It says in the Bible that those who believe and do God's will have a spot reserved for them in Heaven. Choosing religions is kind of like choosing a route to get to your vacation spot. You want to find the most direct way. So it's easier to believe in Jesus and join a Church than to hope God lets you in to his Kingdom when you didn't believe in Him in the first place.

Answer 2

According to the Catholic Church, there is no way for humans to know who gonna get the golden ticket and who isn't, nor are we about to pronounce on the subject. We recognize more than one type of baptism.

Traditional with water, blessings and all the bells and whistles.

Baptism by blood or dying for the faith before you've been traditionally baptised (this one's mostly in abeyance since Rome stopped persecuting Christians and Christians stopped making the converts wait a year before they were baptised).

Baptism by desire, that is, wanting to know God but being denied by circumstance the opportunity to learn about Christ, then dying after living a decent and godly (by your culture's standards) life.

Since neither of these is specifically a Christian rite, it is therefore possible for ANYONE to to be baptised by God's lights and be received into His Presence.

Since we don't know, and He ain't talking, we ain't takin' no chances. We don't refuse ANYBODY!

Answer 3

The Catholic Church says that we can't know for sure the fate of non-Christians.

On the one hand, we know that the usual and expected means of salvation is being united with Christ (cf. Rom. 6:1–5), but we also know from the Bible that "the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love" (Ps. 103:8). We hope that those who, through no fault of their own, never know the gospel in a conscious way may be united to Christ in a way known only to God. We believe that God is sovereign and loving. He will judge people according to their knowledge. If they live in a way that accords with their best knowledge of God, we trust that he will be merciful to them.

Answer 4

Now, I could be wrong about this but I think the Mormons do. We don't get like the really super awesome Heaven, but I'm pretty sure there's a fairly decent afterlife for virtuous heathens like myself. Honestly, if they turn out to be right, I'll take that without complaint.

Answer 5

We're all non-Christians. Then God gives us the opportunity to go to heaven by obeying Him. Obeying Him is set out in the Bible. God determines the way people get to heaven, not men, not even Christians.

Answer 6

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses.
(Well, actually they show from the Bible that a person who is by nature, doing the things of the law without knowing it, will get into the paradise.)

Answer 7

If you are not a Christian why would you believe in heaven? Or even want to go......uh oh somebody is contradicting themselves.

Answer 8

yes, the truth way of Jesus which is submitting his will to God. After him, Muhammed came, and he who was submitting his will to God. The religion is Islam, and followers are called Muslims.

Answer 9

If there aren't any, heaven must be a white racist place

Answer 10

You hope so? Why?

There is no Heaven. That's just superstition.
