How can you believe in Jesus if you never heard his name?

So really only christians can goto heaven?

Update:

Da What, you are trying to tell me not one person has gone through life without hearing of Jesus.

Update 2:

Name a christian organization that beleives in reincarnation.

Update 3:

because rebecca replied not in this life, and according to the bible which you accuse me of not reading says nothing about purgatory. If it does that where?

Update 4:

If this all made sense which it doesn't,then all of you would have the same answer and you don't. Is your god that confusing or is it you that doesn't now the truth.

    The Bible teaches that no person, even the one in the tribe most isolated from civilization, has an excuse not to believe in God, for God has revealed basic truths about himself in nature: his power, his care, his strength etc.

    The person who responds to that (and there have been many who have) will be covered by the sacrifice of Jesus.

    Romans chapter 2, starting with verse 12 through 16 explains about those who have not heard of Jesus and His offer of salvation. Those who 'live by the law will be judged by the law." That includes those naked natives deep in the jungles of South America.

    Romans 10:17 " So then faith commeth by hearing ,hearing by the word of God ". That is why Gods word must be preached to every creature on the earth . Judgment day draweth nigh .

    warpigs...in order to fully understand Da Micks answer, you must actually know about our religion...

    We believe that those who died before Jesus, and those who died after him, but before we could tell them the Gospel will be able to hear the Gospel AFTER they die. In purgatory or whatever you want to call it.

    Everyone gets a chance to hear about God...not just Christians...

    -------------------------

    None believe in reincarnation....why would you even ask that? No one mentioned reincarnation.

    Because everybody gets a chance to hear about Jesus. Now whatever you do after that is on you.

    you can't, at least not in this life.

    Why do you think only Christians can go to heaven? Most Christians do not believe that.
