Perhaps you are proposing that someone could be saved without consciously calling upon Christ even though Christ is the vehicle of salvation?

Are we saved by our own knowledge of Christ, or are we saved by the actions of God? Do you think the mentally retarded are sent to hell cause they lack the knowledge to call for Christ?

Soothing: Are we saved by our own knowledge of Christ, or are we saved by the actions of God?

Very interesting question, and one that I was hoping was raised.

Should I assume you believe that retarded or mentally incapabable people can be saved - or perhaps all people of this type are saved? And this is done by no volition or choice of their own? Does this mean the free will of these individuals is quashed?

And what about those who do have the mental savvy to choose or reject God? Are they saved by their own knowledge of Christ, or by the actions of God?
