LOL! Dude, you're hilarious. By your "reasoning", all the people who lived before the time of Christ are doomed to roast in Hell, since Christ hadn't died for their sins yet.
And they'll burn along with all the American aborigines who lived here prior to 1492, I suppose? And all the African natives prior to European colonialism. And the Japanese. And the Thais, Malays, and Eskimos.
And how about babies who aren't yet old enough to understand? Do they go to the Hot Place, too? What about aborted children? Miscarried babies? The mentally handicapped who can't understand the Gospel message? The comatose? That deaf, dumb, and blind kid that sure plays a mean pinball? They're all going to fry like taco meat because they never invited Jesus into their hearts as their personal Savior?
Please. It's a fact that all who are saved are saved through Jesus Christ. But precisely HOW He chooses to accomplish that salvation is His business and nobody else's. If He pleases to allow people into Heaven that never came forward at a Baptist altar call, He has that authority.
Listen, Pope ItsOurTimeNow, I know you mean well. But if I have to decide between the "infallible" doctrine promulgated by you and the one the Pope in Rome has proclaimed, I'll stick with the original.
