Thanks for your reply.

people can do good, humanistic things. That means nothing in the sight of God.

Gandi is in hell

Let me repeat, I'm not talking about salvation, just possibly a single decision to do good.

What about: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."? Could someone who has this greater love, therefore have some knowledge of God who is love? Or does acting out of selfless love always make one necessarily a humanist?

I understand that. The point Dr. E and I are trying to make is that these are "good" decisions as the world defines them-not as God defines them. To God, without Christ, they are not good decisions.
