This is a hypothetical discussion about whether or not God may offer salvation to a Jew or a Hindu. Certainly God may.

But, if the hypothetical is directly answered in scripture, as quoted previously, one must choose on the side of scripture. This assumes, of course, that you accept the premise of Sola Scriptura, and recognize it's divine inspiration. As Paul told Timothy, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"

Of course, Paul told this to Timothy 500 years before there was a New Testament. Surely Paul was referring to the "scripture" as Jesus Christ referred it. Scripture provides my only access to God. However, I don't reject the possibility that God has other means of access to me, and to unbelievers.
