Not according to kazadoom, you have to believe in Christianity, otherwise it's not enough.

This really has me thinking. What about the status of the Meso Americans, Native Americans, Africans, Asians, and all of the people who did not get the message about Jesus and God throughout history. The word of God didn't reach them so they went through life not believing in Christianity. So, what, they all went to hell for not believing in something they didn't know in the first place?

Actually according to most christian churches, I believe those who never heard the word of god get a free pass so to speak. Just like everyone who died before Jesus died for peoples sins.

It's only the knowingly turning your back on god after hearing the truth thing that's seen as bad. Which really makes you wonder why the expansion of christianity was so important.

I mean if some guy came to me and said "Hey all! You can all be saved and have eternal happieness... and would have been had I not bothered to come here and start this speech!"

I'd kidna want to punch him in the nose.
