If you aren't Christian, you will go to Hell?

Question

I'm not sure about this completely. I think that Jews will probably go to Heaven because God made a covenant with them, but I think all other religions will go to Hell if they don't believe.

This may seem unfair, but here is what another Christian wrote:


"Do you believe Satanists will go to Heaven? I've met some very nice, altrustic, generous Satanists in my life...seemingly good people...but why should they go to Heaven when they are worshipping God's enemy? Completely disregarding his law because they would rather glory in their sins? There has to be a balance...God is a just God and because of that justice will be dealt out to those who deserve it."

She makes a very good point with this. If you do not accept Jesus, then you are sending yourself down to Hell.

Agree?

Here's what someone else wrote:

No one can be saved without accepting the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ.
Only Jesus Christ the Son of God can save
Quote from God's Word
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3: 16

The Bible says it clearly.

Answer 1

Great question!
Let me go in a different direction.
A "Christian" is one who says yes to and accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
They recognize that He alone is the Door to Heaven, and that Salvation is a FREE gift from the Master that could never be earned or deserved by even the best or most flawless goodhearted person you could think of.

Here is the important part,
If you call yourself a Catholic, or a Baptist or a Muslim or whatever other RELIGION you care to name, if you trust in THAT religion to get you to Heaven, you will go to Hell.

Now consider this as well, if you've accepted Christ alone as the giver of your Salvation, you might also call yourself a Catholic or a Muslim but being in a religion is meaningless in the sight of God.

Finally, there will not be any Catholics, Muslims, Baptists, Hindu's Presbyterians or any other religions in Heaven.

There will ONLY be people who gave their heart to Christ on this side of Eternity. The world recognizes these people as "Christians". Not a religion, but a relationship with Jesus Christ.

There is NO OTHER WAY to Heaven.
If you are not in Christ, you are headed for Hell.

He wanted you to know.

Answer 2

We have been sent to bear witness, not judge. Relating the Gospel to one who then decides to not accept is the best to be accomplished in some instances. In that case we know what God has already said is that person's final destination at that moment in time. Our prayer should be that they enjoy the opportunity to once again make a decision. We do not speak judgement.
God is the judge. He alone will determine the intent of any man's heart. He also determines whether or not good intentions are sufficient. We have been given the words, "There is a way that seems right to a man, the end of which is death."
Scare tactics raise defenses. Instead, allow others to see the positive aspects of Christ living in you. The quality of your life in him can not be denied.

Answer 3

I don't know how God is going to handle the Jews, specifically. I know He had a covenant with the Jews and that is why Christ went to the Jews first and offered them salvation through Himself. They rejected Him and so He went to the Gentiles. I'm not sure if the covenant still exists after that point. I'm no theologian.

I know that without a relationship with Christ, you will not see heaven.

Answer 4

Satanists don't worship Satan.
And no, I don't think that if heaven exists, it's going to be some type of member's only club. Why wouldn't anyone else of any other religion get to go if they led a good life? So, they grew up in a different region and had a different religion crammed into their head....God is going to punish them for eternity for that? Gee, way to go, God. That's being a loving god....

Answer 5

Only The Almighty knows who will inherit Paradise and who will enter Hell-fire. Muslims are very accepting of Jesus in his mission to bring people back to the worship of Almighty God, only not in the way Christians view him. The Christian viewpoint is not the only viewpoint that matters; it is only one viewpoint.

It is very difficult for many Christians to understand and/or accept the Islamic view of Jesus as only a prophet of The Almighty Creator. However, this non-acceptance doesn't make the Islamic view less valid. By no means is this view derogatory or slanderous of the exemplary character of Jesus.

Muslims do not pray to Jesus or pray to Almighty God through Jesus. Muslims pray to God directly without any intermediary. Jesus himself prayed to The Almighty, which, for Muslims, means that he acknowledged Almighty God as his Lord and Savior and The Only One to be worshipped.

Answer 6

The bible says, "Who so ever believes in Him shall have eternal life" John 3:16. Only those who place their faith in Christ will enjoy Heaven, according to the bible

Answer 7

I'm no Satanist but if its a choice between the fiery pit and eternity with Christians I'm breaking out the Factor 3million sunblock.

Answer 8

God gave a promise to the Jews, and Christians are saved by grace through faith.

Answer 9

Satanists, no I do not think, people that hear God's word but totally turn their backs to it probably not. But guessing games are all we can do, only God can see a person's true colors (their soul).

Answer 10

Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.

There will be no sin in heaven.

So if you are not covered by the blood of Jesus, you CAN NOT enter heaven
