Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV)
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
I've asked Christians about a certain scenario. The scenario is lets say a Muslim or Jehovah or Mormon or any so called pagan person makes it into Heaven but never knew about the Gospel or Christ during his or her lifetime on this earth how could that be? Would it not be because Christ/God let them in? (I know this opens up a different debate on who Christ is)(Christians most at least believe Christ is God) Just because they did not say the sinners prayer or do some magic formula it would still be because of God's mercy right? I always have trouble with this concept I've had arguments with my Christian friend who is a pastor. if God is Great he can't be put in a box right? Just wondering.

Why is it everytime someone dies, people assume they are heaven bound?
Originally posted by Crushing DayOk but what but what happens to those who have never heard the Gospel? The book of revelation does say there will be a myriads upon myriads of every tribe nation and tongue in Heaven.

Originally posted by menace71True... but I believe John1:9 shows that those who never heard the gospel or the name Jesus are without excuse.
