[QUOTE="mindstorm"]No, only a person who places his faith in Jesus Christ will be saved - even those who have never heard the name. That said, why else do you think Christianity seeks to do foreign mission-work? Simply put, we do not wish for the world to go to hell.Fundai
Although I'm a Catholic, I can't say I believe this...
The Bible says something along the lines of, Those who Know the instructions and do not do will recieve a greater punishment than those that don't know and don' do...
Those that do without knowing will be rewarded greater aswelll...
So your'e saying that you have to be a christian to go to heaven???
No way man...
Thats harsh; Jesus came to all people, and not just to save those that know him.
Yes, we don't want the world to go to hell, and we do missionary work to bring them to the true faith, but If you live out Gods message, even in another religion, why can't you go to heaven, hmm?
You can't go to heaven because there is only one way to heaven and that is through Jesus, he even said it "Jesus said, 'I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through me'" John 14:6 You can do whatever you want, but if you don't accept Jesus to be your savior, you aren't going to be saved. This makes God sad, he wants everyone to come to heaven. That is why churches go on lots of missions trips and their are many missionaries, so they can spread the word so everyone who chooses to believe will be saved.
