Incredible answers.
They show the true nature of cruelty that exists in Christian doctrine. Gandhi was a man that has arguably done more good for the human race than any other man, and his doctrine of peace is still being adopted by millions today.
Yet Christians can justify their God torturing him for ever as people like Hitler, who most likely confessed before pulling the trigger enjoy paradise.
The Christian religion sounds like a religion of love at first, but given a closer look, it is really just a violent and cruel as most of the others.

I believe in a just and righteous God, I know that Ghandi stood or will stand before God as we all will, and I trust that God will be faithful in dealing with his all his children.
We know only of Ghandi's public life, we don't know his heart and while we can postulate from what we were shown of his life and teachings that he probably didn't have that "personal relationship with Jesus" that is the hallmark of salvation, we can further postulate, based on scripture where he "is" now, but we do not know the complete mind of God so erring on the side of caution I would say I'll find out when I get there.
Will I continue to introduce people to the Jesus who is my salvation, Absolutely

you could desire to study the historic previous of Mahatma Ghandi without your rosey colored glasses on. He became a terrible husband. He slept with youthful-warm-candy- toddler-girly-ladies. to coach he did not could have intercourse, so which you already know he became getting aroused by skill of them. (seek for Brahmacharya and Mahatma Ghandi) He did that rather of napping together with his spouse. How merciless is that! He did not provide his spouse her in simple terms scientific care, and left her sexually annoyed. in accordance to a million Corinthians 7:5, that's a sin, and any spouse who's denied her desires will inform you that he merits to burn for that monsterous act.---any spouse!

As a Christian, yes, I do.
Christians accept Jesus' statement, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
It's not politically correct. It doesn't make any exceptions for certain other faiths. However, we Christians believe that the Creator of the Universe said it, and we don't question it. If Jesus says that He is the ONLY way to eternal life, then I accept that at face value.
Therefore, since Mahatma Ghandi did not recognize Jesus Christ as God's son and the One who saves us from sin, death, and the power of the Devil, Mahatma Ghandi has been separated forever from God...and he is condemned to suffer eternally in hell.

I believe currently the eternal fate (heaven or hell) of M. Ghandi is God's call not mine.

To believe that a man is good enough to be granted salvation based solely on his works is a mistake. God teaches that none are good, not one. So, as great of a guy that Ghandi was, he also sinned.
Ghandi did nothing on his own to earn him salvation.

Well, he certainly was a highly moral person, at least from outward appearances. Of course, God looks at the heart, not just outward appearances.
But all our righteousness is as filthy rags before God who is perfect and holy.
So, how good do we have to be to be good enough?
Was Ghandi good enough? Not if he was human. We live in a fallen world, and the best we can do will NEVER be good enough for God.
That's why God sent Jesus - to do it FOR us, since WE couldn't do it for ourselves.
In fact, Jesus even said "When God sent His son into the world, it wasn't to condemn the world, but to save it. Whoever believes in the Son of God shall not be condemned, but whoever does NOT believe in the Son of God is condemned already" why? because "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", and that includes Ghandi.
But whether or not he had a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, I couldn't say, because I can't see into his heart. Only God can do that.

Wow, some of these Christians are ATE UP with that faith in Christ stuff. Gandhi was a great man, and to say he is in hell because he was a different faith is just plain messed up.

I am not qualified to answer this question, it is for G-d ONLY to determine who is or is not given eternal life in His Presence.

Titus 3:5-7
He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but acording to His mercy, byt he washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly thorugh Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
In other words, we can't be good enough to get to heaven, but God, according to His mercy, gave us Jesus, so we can go to heaven. Jesus is the only way. Ghandi did not accept Jesus as the only way.
