Is the acceptance of Christ and the belief that he sacrificed for you a condition to receive God's unconditional love?

Catholic church states that Jews and Muslims can get into heaven. And, that thos who do not know of Christ, or were never introduced to him can have eternal salvation....
So depends on what sect of Christianity you adhere/belong to.
MUHAHAHHAHA 5000 pts SNITCHES... LEVEL FIVE....

Here is something you rarely here from Christians because many Christians haven't grasped this yet. Salvation is an "act" of God. He can save (make blameless) anyone He chooses. What God is examining at all times is the "heart" of an individual. If the person's heart reveals that this person would accept Christ if given an untarnished presentation of Jesus, then God Himself "justifies" that person. This is backed by Romans2:14 -16 . Jesus is the the spirit that mediates between God and fallen man that's why His blood was so crucial. It justifies God in the heavenly court where He has place Himself to be examined. Satan had a legal claim on all of fallen man before God validated the animal sacrifices in the Old Testament, through the "authentic" cleansing derived from Christ own blood. But keep in mind God the Father is the one who ultimately forgives and accepts.

Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and only through Him can you get into heaven. Ben G is way off. The only excuse for not accepting Jesus will be if you had never ever heard the message. Muslims do not believe in Jesus as the Savior and therefore will not enter heaven. Catholics are being deceived into believing that Mary is the way and there fore they to will be condemned. The one who will be punished the most is the pope as he is the deceiver.

Well, you've got two questions there really. God loves you whether or not you love him. But yes, that is the condition for Heaven (certainly as my Bible puts). Makes sense really, if you don't like God, why would you want to live with him for the rest of eternity?

Yes, for those who have heard the name Jesus Christ, it is only through Him we can reach Heaven and be reconciled with the Father.
There are exceptions of course, for those who have never heard the name Christ, but they don't apply to you.

You are held accountable for what you know to be true READ YOUR BIBLE CHRISTIANS..if your heart and soul tells you budda is the way but you dont follow the buddist teachings then you condemn yourself..
If your spirit tells you to follow john smith and you dont then you condemn yourself in the eyes of the one...
IF you believe jesus is the way but you dont research him SEARCH HIM out with all your heart and soul then you condemn yourself..
If you have never heard any religious teachings lived alone in the jungle..you will be held accountable by what your spirit tells you to be true...

Heaven is a fiction: it is open to no one.
