When Christ said he would reward everyman for his works, does that include non-believers?

Question

They are men, too, correct? And many have done great works. How are they rewarded?

Rewarded in Heaven? Isn't Heaven supposed to be the ultimate reward? Do yo get a bigger cloud or shinier wings or something?

Answer 1

They are considered animals more than men, and they are punished - not rewarded.

Answer 2

Through Christian belief you have to believe in Christ and that he died to forgive your sins. I'm not sure about other religions. That's where the fine line in religion is drawn. I believe that if you are a good person, and you live within the commandments, by the goodness in your heart you will be rewarded. If you are talking is a sense that you believe that you are a good person and you haven't been rewarded, God works in mysterious ways. I have doubted many times with past experiences that there could be a god. But even in my times of extreme darkness there has always been a light at the end of the tunnel. It's just really hard to see it when you can't vision an escape.

Answer 3

A being of His stature wouldn't bother to check on the recipients being believers or not.Who knows,after receiving the rewards,some non believers may turn around.I wish,He had also included women unless He though that it was a given.

Answer 4

I personally think that anyone who does good things, like helping others and not being selfish will certainly be rewarded.

None of this ritual CRAP, he never meant for any of this to happen. Sure, praying is good, but simply attending church and thinking you're better than a non believer or member of another religion who does charity work is certainly not going to be true.

Christ meant for us to be peaceful, to help each other out, and not to let our fellow man (especially those in Africa at the moment) suffer needlessly while we rich people stuff our faces.

Answer 5

No.
Because if you don't believe you won't know the joys of him just being god!
When you say how will they be rewarded, I say they will be rewarded by man because if you believe in god. god Will put you through some tests and trials..and when you survive them. got will poor out many blessings. God said "The Wealth of the wicked is layed up in store for the Righteous!!

Answer 6

Yes.

They are rewarded the same way other people are rewarded, with grace and happiness and feelings of having accomplished some good.

Answer 7

Jesus said everyone will be rewarded accoeding to his works. This menas good or bad works,obedience or disobedience.....

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Jeremiah 25:14-16 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

Answer 8

C'mon you knew the answer to that before you asked. The rewards are in heaven and the only way to get to heaven is through the SON.

Answer 9

rewards for good works are awarded and punishments for bad works are also delivered

REWARD:
NOUN:
Something given or received in recompense for worthy behavior or in retribution for evil acts.

Does that answer your question?

Answer 10
