There are those who have heard but have not listened, yet there are those who the word of God hasn't reached so no-one but God Himself has the right to judge them.

No way, I'm not sure about the majority as I'm not in a majority group as I'm a Catholic in England, I believe mostly Catholism but I also have my own beliefs like incarnation. I believe when you die your life is looked upon, and judged whether you have lived a good life or not then when you do make it in heaven you're in the heaven how you imagined it. I don't think there is one true religion at all because one of the old founding religions in that light would be the correct religion to follow. I also don't think that you should take religion to a serious level, like what Jesus said the Sabbeth(holy day) was made for man for man not man for the sabbeth. Religion should be enjoyed not make people afraid of it or forced into doing stuff they don't want to. I also think the extreamist in each religion probably think that their religion is right I believe as long as it doesn't harm other people and that you don't force your religion upon someone then its fine(sure you can tell them and they can choose to listen and join but they shouldn't be forced). I believe God is almighty and there is not limit to what could and can happen to us and the world.

The Bible reveals that God wants ALL people to be saved and spend eternity with him. But there will probably still be some that will not stop their harmful, short-sighted, selfish ways of life -- and these people will have to be destroyed (left to burn up in the Lake of Fire, mistakenly thought of as hell).
God has a plan for the salvation of every person willing to accept it; most people (including those who have died) have NOT yet begun their path in that plan. When God is through, there will not be ANY other religious beliefs to confuse the issue -- everyone will know the truth BEFORE they are judged.

There are 2 doctrines: Salvation of the Righteous Heathens (once you're a stable guy you're making it to heaven regardless of faith) and Universalism (salvation is quite a loose present, AND an entire fee, so no-one is going to hell) i don't have staistics, yet maximum christians the place I stay ensue to have self assurance interior the 1st.

I believe if you are a good person, help your neighbours,be good to one another & don't be greedy, you will reap rewards whatever religion. But I'm sure that alot of faiths believe that their religion is the only way you will get into heaven, some are less closed minded.

Some do. Some do not. I happen to be a Christian who does not believe that. For all I know, ALL religions are valid. God obviously created a very diverse population of people. Seems logical that he would provide that diverse population with diverse options for having a relationship with him. I know God reached me through the teachings of Jesus, but who am I to say that he does not meet other people's spiritual needs through other avenues? The only people I think are going to hell are people who frequently and intentionally commit acts of evil against their fellow human beings with no remorse or repentance. That could even include some people who are Christians.

It's not about wearing the Christian label or being part of "the club". It's about having a relationship with Jesus Christ. If you don't have that relationship, you can't get into heaven. You will go to hell. Because only Jesus offered himself up to stand in your place and take your punishment for your sin so you can go free. You reject that, you choose hell.

No, we beleive that you do not have to be a chriatian in order for him to still be a part of your life the only time we beileve that the only people that will not go to heaven is the antichrist. Other than that every one on this earth is a sinner and everyone that has sinned he has forgiven so we do beleive that you will go to hevean wether you are christian or not!

I am a Christian and it is not a matter of what I believe. It is a matter of what the Bible teaches and what Jesus, Himself is on record as saying. Accepting Jesus as your personal Saviour is what makes you a Christian, not how a good or kind person you are. It is no so much about "religion" as it is about "the Saviour".
I invite you to read it for yourself.........

I don't know about "all other religions," but yes, many of the Christians I have met believe that those who haven't accepted Jesus Christ are going to hell. Probably some don't, but the fact is that a lot of them do think that.
Seems like the world would be a much happier place if they didn't think that, but that's the way it is...

Just remember the road to Heaven is narrow and the road to Hell is wide. But, God's mercy is greater than ours. It's not for me to say for sure. But, I do worry about that for all non-Christians. Jesus said they wouldn't go to Heaven and He is God come to earth in flesh.
