Very good and informative.
Does that mean a person is going to hell if they haven’t been baptized?
Jesus also said that those that believed in him would have everlasting life.
I am obviously not a theologian so I am not disagreeing. I am only asking an opinion.

If I were to sit back and try to figure out who has heard and obeyed the whole gospel, I would be inserting myself into a place (judging) that is not mine. You or I are not to judge the souls of men (and women). He is telling us how to believe on him. For example, He called Able and Cain to serve him, but Cain tried the easy way (the disobedient way), when he no doubt knew from his father Adam what a proper sacrifice was. Noah, Abraham, etc. were given a call that physically had to be acted upon.
The Lord’s terms of being faithful changed at times, and he still expects a physical response (even going to hear a preacher for the first time is a physical act).
Ours is not to wonder why, ours is but to do or die! ;)
