Scripturally speaking,

Point #1. Those in Romans 1 were not saved, but “The wrath of God is being revealed…”

Point #2. The OT Jews were saved by Christ. Those who reject Christ (the Pharisees) go to Hell (Matthew 23:33).

Point #3, Abraham was saved by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

No one can be saved without Christ. It is Christ or Hell, no other options.
I agree with that. I Believe at one point as with Abraham one has to be saved by the Gospel of Christ.
Yikes! I agree with both of you. Evidently I communicated very poorly in my original post.

All I'm saying is that the fact that Abraham was certainly saved by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, points to the fact that one can be saved by the Gospel of Christ without ever being directly exposed to it.

Edit: PL's point #2 was what I was saying, looking at John 8.

Gotcha Felgar. I agree (Just like Paul). This is the part of the post that had us concerned....

Is everyone that does not believe in Jesus going to hell.


The answer is no. Someone who hasn't heard of Jesus can still be saved, because God reveals Himself to them in other ways. It is their heart - their faith - by which they are judged.
I light of the original question, you seemed to say that someone can go to heaven without believing in Jesus Christ. I didn't think you really believed that. :)

Right, I see... I should have started my post with this excerpt of her post, which sheds light on the main consideration I was speaking to:
victoria brady wrote:Could it be that God will reach us nomatter were we are the far reaches of the world were there are no books or churches maybe God comes to us differently. I have always wondered about that .
I would say I believe that God does indeed reach us no matter where we are. But further, I continue to qualify that statement with the understanding that anyone who rejects Jesus will be condemned, so it is not true that all religions are acceptable to God (which was another of Victoria's questions).
