We can teach what we believe but I believe in a Merciful God. The premise is that if you don’t accept Jesus as your Savior that you will not be saved. Does that mean that all the people prior to Jesus will not be saved by God? Does that mean people in remote tribes that have never heard of Jesus will not be saved? I don’t know but that isn’t my decision... That is God’s decision.

If you really get into the Bible you would find out that God will hold no one in contempt if they never heard of him or the primitive man or imbeciles etc. that don't have a functioning brain. The ones to worry are perfectly normal people that hear his message and choose to think if folly and deny Him. You may not find one or two verses actually saying this but if you absorb Bible Doctrine your common sense would show you this. Don't be offended, when I say “you” I don't mean you personally but you in general.

Romans2:12-17 pretty much covers it!

This merciful God you believe in has promised to throw Satan into a lake of fire for all eternity. Do you think he will not do this because he is benevolent? I don’t believe God will break his words to his creation nor to himself.
