I don’t dispute that at all in what I said. Without Jesus, there is no chance for any of us, but we don’t know what plans He has for those who through no fault of their own never hear the name Jesus.

Scripture says that God wills that all men be saved. If that is the case, He must have a way for those who never have a chance to have faith in Jesus.

As Jesus said To whom much is given, much is expected. We are fortunate to know Jesus. Not everyone has such great fortune. We trust that the God of mercy knows the hearts of those who never heard His name and will act out of that great and boundless mercy He has for His children.

Think about it Jvette. Jesus wouldn’t have told us to tell people about Him if they were going to heaven in some other way. There is no other way whereby we are saved but the belief in and trust of Jesus.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Romans 10:9That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

If they don’t believe in Jesus they are “condemned already”. There is only one way. Not many.
