Wow. So there is more than one path. The roman catholic church teaches that?

how do you get that from what I said? There is one Way, one Path. My question, which maybe you'll answer, is is it possible that God could save someone, elect him, fill him with His Spirit and lead him in a Spirit-filled life even if the person has never heard the name "Jesus"?

I'm not saying it happens all the time, on the contrary. But is it possible God could do this?

Or, as I re-worded it, is salvation acheived because God chose us, or because we know His Name?

Billy Graham would agree with ya. :)

God is holy and HE desires to get all the glory, honor and praise due HIM. He will surely make Himself known personally to that sincere seeker. Just as He did to Saul of Tarsus, he will identify Himself.

This is like saying, "if with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, then is it possible for God to sin?

Silly.

When all that happens the person would know Jesus. Of course he would know His name.
