I was thinking: If we wanted to prove whether the Gospels are right or wrong, couldn't us non-Christians preach to the people who haven't heard the word yet? I've heard that when every person on earth has the chance to hear the word of god, is when the whole Revelation thing will happen. So, if we preached to the last who haven't heard and we're all still alive, would it count?

I mean, is that when we could say, "Every person has heard the word and nothing's happened. The Bible is wrong."

Well, since babies are born daily and can't understand until, at minimum, 3-5 yrs, it is highly unlikely that 'everyone will hear the word of god' and bring on the end times.....kinda convenient that way, huh!!

My friend, you are confused.

First of all Yor are "assuming" that "what you've heard" is correct The actual scripture is

Matthew 24:14 (KJV)
14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

It doesn't say every person , it says "a witness unto all nations. With the workd population currently at more than
6,750,000,000 (63/4 billion) the task of individually reaching every one is really a humanly impossible task. That's why the scripture was stated the way it was. Through satellite communication, supersonic flight, and the energetic efforts of major churches to send missionaries to and train native Christians how to reach their people, the work is well underway. As to this "whole Revelation thing" you impress me that you probably don't have a good knowledge base about what the real message and happenings of "Revelations" are about. You could learn, though.

There are two or three things you should be doing to learn this:
1. Find a good church, get involved, become a Christian (for your own soul's sake) and learn as much as you can through accurate teaching...and not rely on here say or what "they" say...99% of the time, "they" are wrong...and you cant even identify who "they" are.

2. Become a solid supporter of world missions...give through the church of your choice to their mission programs...that's how you...or anybody can get involved in reaching this world for Christ.

3. Become aware of the people around you and share your salvation with them... (You can't share what you don't possess) That's why non-Christians fail miserably at trying to reach the lost... you're both lost. The Bible also reminds us that if the blind lead the blind, they both fall in a ditch. If you become aware of the people and needs in your your own local area, you can do more good there, while your contributions to World Missions can help organized outreach efforts reach the ninety-plus percent of the world population (6-3/4 billion) that have never heard the gospel.

God bless you for your concern.. at least you're thinking in the right direction.

Can non-believers preach the Gospel?

No. First of all, why preach about something that you say you dont believe in. Second and most important is, you need the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel. Its not the preacher or the preaching that makes it effective. Its the Holy Spirit indwelling in the preacher. And that preacher must be a born again believer.

Yes, that would.

The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him.”- Deuteronomy 18:15

If the non-believer is preaching the Gospel, He's preaching.

Revelations is fiction and the Bible is not the word of God.

The non-believers that preach the gospel are the pedophiles who call themselves priests.

Every person on earth has heard it to a much greater extent than was even imaginable at the time the passage about it being TAUGHT everywhere was written, and still no Jesus.

Will you believe a blind directing your way?

Edit
If a blind accompany a blind, both will fall in a pit.

How can someone preach the gospel if in the first place don't know how to preach?
