to answer the OP questions. its rather simple, how u are brought up in life doesn't matter. whether its christian or atheist or whatever else. when you become an adult that knows right from wrong you and you alone must choose to believe in Jesus christ, that he died for your sins and accept him as your lord and savior. you don't earn a place in heaven its a free gift from God. this is where free will comes in, God gave us a choice to believe in him or not. up to you. any more questions feel free to ask. |
You can't seriously believe that 99% of the adult people in the Middle East use their free will to believe in Islam, or that ~70% of all Americans use their free will to choose to believe in the Christian God and Jesus as their savior though. Environmental factors simply cannot be overlooked.
Your upbringing can shape major parts of your opinions and beliefs even after you are an adult.

no i never said that. i was raised a catholic, i didnt stay that way. everyone on earth will hear about jesus before his return. your job as a christian is to spread the word to others. we have missionaries in the middle east right now doing just that. when they hear the the word they can accept it or not. some people will only get one chance to repent according to the bible.
