Every person has their own way of coming into or denying faith. Whether or not they've heard of Jesus may be one thing, but if they believe in a higher being and live a morally sound life, then they've found something good to live for.
Also, that is why missionaries travel the world over, visiting tribes and such-- to spread the word.

The people saying it just wouldn't happen are wrong. What about the guy who lived in ancient Japan in 1000 BC? Were they supposed to hear about the prophecy for the Jewish Messiah?
When Jesus was on the earth, he taught his disciples many things. The core of Jesus' message seemed to center on being selfless, and loving others as much as yourself. I think that the people who haven't heard about Jesus throughout history will be deemed to have "accepted" Jesus if they accept his teachings, which are in the conscience of all men and women, and if they live by those teachings as best they can.
We have to remember that Jesus said that the path to life is narrow, and only a few find it.

I believe only those that reject Christ, lose hope of heaven those that never heard of him, I believe get their chance in the 1000 year reign of Christ.. because God is just & merciful, he wouldn't punish people for never knowing about him, or never being told of him.. however there are churches in Alaska, an most of even the most remote places on Earth, are being reached with the gospel through missionaries, and other communications, we just have to keep spreading the word!!

The Christ will know his heart.
Trust me if the man or woman is doing their best with what little they have the Christ will know them and it is through the Christ that they will enter God's Holy Kingdom.
Just because some poor pagan doesn't know Jesus of Nazareth doesn't mean that Jesus doesn't know the pagan. All who deserve what they deserve will be taken care of.
God is not a cruel entity. He is just in His ways. He has a lot of love for His children whether His children know of the Christ or not. God will take care of us all, in the way that is righteous, and just.

There are currently 2,257 J.W's witnessing [ teaching] the Bible in Alaska. a ratio of 1;294 in a total population of 663,661.
In Canada, there are 110,298 in a population of 32,470,078
doing exactly the same.
That is a lot of qualified ministers.
And God is making sure that every door is being knocked on.
He is making sure that no one is missed.
We do not leave the job JUST to leaders.
EVERYONE preaches.
The Eskimos [ Innuit ] will not be left out.

you can not be forever SECLUDED from CHRIST.
did you know that there are tribes that missionaries have gone to with the plan to teach them about Jesus, but they already know. the tribe already knows of the story of the savior. that is because God is all around. you dont need someone to verbally tell you that he exists. he will tell you himself.
also, God has made himself known to all of us in some way shape or form.
Romans 1:20
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse"
read this verse, then re-read it, and if you still dont fully understand it continue to read bellow
and if you want to ignore all of that and not take my word for what it is, then all i have to say is that God is a just God and would never send someone to hell unrightfully.

Jesus will not return until everyone, secluded or not, has heard about Him. The bible says that. He wants everyone to have that opportunity. In the Old testament times, people still knew that there would be a saviour, one who would come..and they had lots of ceremies that pointed to Him..so they believed in Jesus too even tho they had not seen Him. God will make sure all hear about Him.

A Christian is born back interior the spirit. what's born of the flesh is flesh and what's born of the Spirit id spirit (John 3:6), it incredibly is the Spirit that provides life the flesh counts for no longer something (John 6:sixty 3). the hot Covenant that provides salvation is the regulation of the Spirit of life no longer of the flesh (Romans 8:2) So all the detrimental issues every physique says interior the flesh against God will count type for no longer something against his salvation. those interior the flesh won't be able to please God (Romans 8:8). devil can ruin a Christian's flesh yet his spirit id stored (a million Corinthians 5:5). while a Christian sleeps in Jesus it incredibly is his spirit that leaves his physique to flow to heaven. it is physically powerful information as quickly as stored we are consistently stored interior the spirit. God bless you.

I can't quote specific chapters and verses of the bible, I haven't read it so long. But the gist of what I remember is a person who has never heard of Jesus can not be condemned. It is when someone does learn of him, and still turns away that they are comdemned by God. I mean to me, it would be like punishing a child for not doing something you never taught them to do in the first place.

Been to Alaska. Many times. No secluded "Eskimos". Many are already Christians and they have gone back to their villages to share Jesus with their family and friends.
