God will not ask people about things that are screened from them before He identifies them.

I think they wouldn't go to heaven if they are ignorant, meaning they know it but chose to not mind it. In Romans 1: 19 says: since what may be known to God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. And then on 20 says: For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. So as I understood from this verse, God has made it easy for man to know that He exist and God will make a way for people to know God (through missions, internet, gospel radios, divine revelation like he did with Saul/Paul for examples) so men are without excuse. I hope this help.

We talked about this tonight in a Bible study I attend.
The Bible says in Romans 1:20 that God reveals Himself through His creation, be that through us or the world and all the beautiful things He's created.
Also in Joel 2:32 it says that anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved, so whether they've actually been told about God, as long as they are sincere in crying out to Him, I believe they will go to heaven.
As well, it says somewhere else in the Bible, not sure where, but it basically says that everyone will have an opportunity to accept Christ as their Savior. So whether they have one or millions of them, they still have a chance.

Hope this helps =]

John 6:39
"and this is the will of the One who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what He gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last day

God created everything. And He has sent forth His son Jesus to save us from sin. Jesus' death on the cross is a grace afforded to all.

As of people having not heard about God. I don't think there's still a place on earth that has not been visited or occupied by missionaries.

Those who have never heard of Jesus don't exist. Everyone gets a chance, as in Acts it says the Gospel went out to everyone. Same today, there's preachers everywhere.

But theoretically, if one never heard of Jesus, they're still going to hell, because Jesus is the only way to heaven. If someone teaches otherwise, then they make absolutely no sense.

Then, Paul, Peter, and all the other apostles were personally responsible for filling hell up. If never hearing about Jesus leads to heaven, then they should have shut up, and never said anything about Jesus to anyone.

Get it?

God is honest, and no one would be in hell who would not deserve it, and people who're there (or would be there), will comprehend precisely WHY they are there, and there'll be no room to *****, because of the fact they'll see very needless to say the flaws they did to "earn" them the main suitable to circulate there. further remark: in the event that they have violated their very very own consciences, or carried out issues to others that they'd not prefer to ensue to them, then i'm somewhat particular that this suggests that they actually did comprehend God's ethical regulation written on their hearts, and that they broke the regulation. this is why we could circulate into each and all of the worldwide with the solid information that Jesus forgives and instruments us unfastened from our sins, the potential they have over us, alongside with their eternal outcomes.

They will have the opportunity to know God the father, the Son and the holy Spirit. They will come before the Judgment seat of Christ ...God knows whats in out hearts, they will be judged by what they believe and adhere to in their hearts.. But we are saved by grace not by works...We know that many have died already who never heard...but they will hear...

Romans 1:20 - "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." It's plain to see from this scripture that even creation itself is reason enough for one to believe in Him.

I can't give you a biblical ans., but the way I was raise the Great Spirit is all good and I know He wouldn't turn any person away,as He tells us to look under any stone or leaf and He will be there. He knows all and does not judge you by this, I believe as long as you yourself are a good person and follow common sense The Great Spirit will welcome you with open arms

There is no one today that hasn't heard about God in some way, fashion, or form. TV, radio, and people spread the Word over the intire world today. That's no excuse.
