Those who never hear the Gospel
We know God is righteous God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his
wrath every day.Psalm 7:11

So we know on Judgment Day God will give just, righteous verdicts to everyone.
Everyone condemned to Hell will deserve it according to God’s judgment.
• SORRY OJ FANS, there will be no false convictions or acquittals in Heaven!
Those who never hear the Gospel
Some biblically argue that no one will go to Heaven without hearing of Christ …even if they’ve never heard of God (Father).
Those who never hear the Gospel
Some biblically argue that no one will go to Heaven without hearing of Christ …even if they’ve never heard of God (Father). No excuse for not knowing God
(Rom. 1:18-20, 10:18) We’re all naturally sinning children of wrath
(Eph. 2:3) …that’s why we need a Savior for our sins Can’t call to be saved by one you don’t know of
(Rom. 10:9-15)
Those who never hear the Gospel
Others justly say it is possible for those who never heard of Christ to go to Heaven For those apart from the Law (those without
knowledge of it) God judges their consciences (Romans 2:12-16)
Those who never hear the Gospel
Romans 2:12-16 12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from
the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15 since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

Which one of these is the correct view? Answer: God is the judge.
So I can’t say for sure
Those who never hear the Gospel
Here is what we do know: God overlooked idolatry, etc. in the past but
now calls everyone to repent (Acts 17:30) God commanded His disciples to spread the
Gospel to all the nations (Matthew 28:19) Those who do hear of Christ must accept Him
as Lord & repent of their sins to be saved (Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9-10; 2 Peter 3:9; etc.)
Those who never hear the Gospel
If you have not heard of Jesus Christ before, you’ve heard of Him now.
He is the Son of God who died for your sins. Accepting His sacrifice is the only way you
can be forgiven of your sins & get in Heaven Turn from your sins, accept Him as Lord,
and you will be saved.
Those who never hear the Gospel
Because God is just and righteous we know He’ll judge fairly when the time comes.
In the meantime, we know we need to: Repent (turn from) of our sins Spread the Gospel to non-believers, and Encourage others to do the same
