That will depend on their heart. Are they trusting God (No matter what they call Him) Or have they turned from Him in rebellion? The light of Christ fulls all of creation so no one has excuse.. Rom 1:20 IHS Jim

no the question you are asking is that say a baby who has no conciousness of religion dies or a person never exposed to religion ever ever! dies then no. It says it in the bible in reference mainly to children but also to those who have never ever heard the word, that they will be accepted into the kingdom. Like when your a child past the age of reasoning right from wrong. Now say you heard it once even in a rumor and you refused to beleive that it was posible then you rejected the beliefs so your going to hell. THats the amin answer.

yea religion doesn't get you to heaven, hearing about Jesus Christ does but I understand what you mean. Somewhere in the bible it talks about everybody hearing the Word before the 2nd coming. But personally and I say again personally (opinion) if I was to never hear about God and what happened than how can you fault me for that? But than again the Holy Spirit can reach out to anyone and can show a person signs to there being a higher creator. Like the show Kyle XY if you just woke up somewhere one day and I mean like in the mountains far away from civilization. Would you not wonder how you got there? Your mind would start to think and wonder and God would reveal Himself to you. So actually I retract my previous statement, it is possible.

Well sadly yes, God has put the knowledge of God in all men, thats why some people (who dont know better) come up with a sun god, moon god stuff like that. However babys they dont understand anything right/wrong, religion and what not, so when a baby dies it goes to heaven.

No, I wouldn't think so. Having no knowledge of the saving grace of Christ, should not condemn a person to hell.
Only God knows the heart of a person and the state of their soul. It's highly possible that even those who have never heard the word of God, still seek him and know him.

Getting your Spirit "Recreated" is what lets you go Into Heaven. Jesus made it Possible for us to get Born-Again, Saved.
Getting Saved is called REALITY cause your Spirit is Actually Recreated by GOD Almighty.
RELIGION cannot Recreate your Spirit.
If all you have is religion when you die, and you did'nt get your Spirit Recreated, "hell" is where the End will Be.

Religion does not get you into heaven or hell. A person is responsible for their actions due to the conscience.

A person who has not come into contact with organized religion is probably better off than the rest of us.

As far as believing in God, everyone who enters this world and looks around him, should obviously believe in God.
But, as to those who have never heard of Jesus:
I believe that at some point Jesus will be revealed to everyone. After Jesus died and was in the tomb 3 days, He went to those who had died previously and revealed Himself to them. So, I feel that all who have never heard of Him will have a chance to accept or deny Him at some point before judgment.

It's not about being in contact with religion and a religious life. It's about knowing the living God and living a Spiritual life with Him... now and forever. As for a person you have described, it is the same for them as it is for us... it is entirely up to God.
