Unfortunately, just because one has not heard the Good News, it does not save him/her from Judgement or from Hell. Of course, it is God's desire that all should be saved (Isaiah 45:22). But because God IS Perfect Righteousness and Holiness, sin must be judged and the sinner punished (Romans 2:8-9; 2 Thessalonians 1:8; Romans 3:23). The Bible also clearly states that the only way to Heaven is to know Christ (John 14:6). However, the good news is that men will be judged according to the measure of light and opportunity given them (Matthew 11:21-24; Luke 12:48). Hope this helps!!

I believe in God and the afterlife. Jesus was a prophet and he didn't make himself out to be a God. The man made bible made this crap up.
Too bad Christians you can give me all the thumbs downs you want but it won't change the fact that 1) God is outside of man made organized religion and 2) Spiritualism has proven the after life and that everyone automatically goes into the spirit world (not risen from the ground) upon death. So much for an exclusive Christian club in heaven worshiping Jesus and lazing around. lmao You will have to put up with us non- Christians.

No! Jesus is the only way. He said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father except by Me." Read the following verses in the Bible.
John 3:16
John 14:6
Romans 6:23
Romans 10:9-11
Revelation 3:20
Jesus is the Only Way to heaven, there is no other way. Check out these bible verses for proof!

No, you can not. Jesus Jesus told Nicodemus, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. You cannot get to Heave by works; no matter how good you are, without Christ, you will not make it. Search the Scriptures, the answer is there. Don't let anyone tell you different. Pray for Gods De vine understanding and He will open your eyes, and mind.

If one is at the age of accountability, able to hear the Gospel and able to comprehend it, then one can not enter Heaven without knowing and accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and their Savior. They have a choice to choose Jesus or not.
If one is a young child or baby, has not ever heard the Gospel or is not mentally capable of understanding it, he/she is eligible to be saved by God's grace because of Jesus' sacrificial death for them too. Salvation is through Christ alone.

The New Testament says Christ was teaching people in the Spirit world between His and His resurrection. I think people will be given a chance to know Christ if they were not given a chance in this life. In order to attain the fullness of salvation we need to have faith in and follow Christ, but clearly there are those who will not get the chance will in this life, so they will get their chance later.

Christians did not invent the idea that a person can only be saved by Jesus
Christians say that Jesus is the only way to God because Jesus Himself said He was the only way to God. It is Jesus' claim, not our invention. Consider these verses where Christ eliminates alternative ways to God: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me" (John 14:6). "For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins" (John 8:24).
Christ's apostles later affirmed His claim: "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved, " Peter says in Acts 4:12. Paul writes "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). It is not arrogant for Christians to make such an exclusive claim since we are only relaying what Jesus taught and being faithful to what Jesus told us to do (Matt. 28:19). If we come to understand why Jesus is the only way, we will see that it is not unfair for Him to make such claims.

There is only one way to Heaven and that is by grace through faith in Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

Umm....hmmm......no...I dont think you can go to heaven without knowing Christ. Because if you dont know Christ you dont know GOD....and if you dont know GOD then why do you believe in Heaven? Read the New Testament.
