There are many un-believers because of the Fall and Adam and Eve. We have original sin in this world and unless one accepts Jesus Christ into their heart, they will not be saved.

Is this an accurate representation of your beliefs?

1) Man is inherently good, and just has a problem making bad decisions. It is felt that he will get right with God on his own, given half a chance.
2) Anyone, at anytime, and for any reason, can patch things up with God, and things will be just "hunky-dory" between them, just so long as they exercise their free-will.
3) Jesus died for everyone, and even whispered in Joe Stalin's ear just before he died and gave him full forgiveness of all his sins. There is no sin problem, Jesus took care of that for everyone, everywhere, without exception.
4) God offers salvation to all everywhere equally. The fact that many haven't heard the Gospel isn't a problem, since God understands their limitations and makes exceptions for them.
5) As long as men continue to hold tightly to God, and don't let go, they might make it into heaven in the end. After all, it is all the result of their choices, and they can choose to let go and turn their backs on God anytime they feel like it. However, even if they do this, they will probably be given lots of second chances.

If not, then let me just state that this characterization is no more inaccurate than what you have stated here about our beliefs. You automatically assume that we cannot be for evangelism if we are for predestination. That is ludicrous.

We agree that the fall is the reason..But there are more than many .All are unbelievers untill they believe right? How does one make oneself believe?

Oh, so the heart is important. How does one accept Jesus Christ into their heart?
