according to some, not unless they are baptized into the christian faith.
his question stands, who here believes infidels (children or not) should spend an eternity of agony just for not believing in the right deity (or flavor of deity)
Originally posted by RBHILLDo you mean one does not have to believe in "God's son" in order to be "saved"?

Originally posted by RBHILLAccording to this enormous theological loophole that you seem to be referring to, can people still not have reached the age of accountability right into their adult lives? I don't "believe in Christ" at all. Might I be "saved", according to your beliefs, if I am deemed "under the age of accountability"?
Under the age of accountability no. And the age of accountability is different for all people.
Originally posted by FMFI've already stated my beliefs. Jesus died making a way to salvation for us all. I believe that men like Abraham who died before Jesus lived are saved though his blood sacrifice even though they never knew of him. I say this only because the Bible indicates as much.
Well, seeing as you called divegeester a "liar" when he described your beliefs, perhaps you should say what those beliefs are and explain how or why you think divegeester was deliberately misleading people.
Having said that, God will decide the rest. It serves no purpose in sitting down and judging others, in fact, we are commanded not to do so.
Originally posted by whodeyI am not asking you to judge anyone. I am asking what your theology tells you about Jews, Muslims and others, and their route to "heaven" if they do not believe in Jesus. Does your viewpoint about Abraham indicate that people who do not know of/do not believe in Jesus can be "saved" too?

The actions of the Taliban faction that murdered those 132 children in Peshawar are so despicable that words of condemnation just feel as if they cannot possibly match the scale and depravity of the atrocity.

Do Christians like sonship and Grampy Bobby and others believe that these slaughtered children now face an eternity of torture in burning agony for not believing in Jesus?
