Jesus answered your question by saying, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." He didn't mention hell in this proclamation, just the Father.

@Prince:
"Yes. If they lived a Christian Life and didn't have the opportunities to hear about Jesus Christ".
SO, @Prince: if YOUR goal is to have people go to Heaven, the BEST thing to do would be to NOT tell them about Jesus.

The term "invincible ignorance" has its roots in Catholic theology. It is used to refer to the state of persons (such as pagans and infants) who are ignorant of the Christian message because they have not yet had an opportunity to hear it. Can someone ignorant still be guilty? Yes they can. For example, take the example of a hunter. He goes out into the woods with his rifle, sits in his tree stand. A few minutes later he hears some rustling behind some bushes. The hunter decides to shoot into the bushes. Moments later he sees a human being scream out and fall over dead. The hunter was ignorant of there being a human being there but he didn't exercise due diligence in finding out the truth. This means he was vincibly ignorant. He was guilty of not wanting to find out the objective truth of the situation (negligence and reckless) Vincible means he is still guilty. Now there is also invincible ignorance which means the ignorance could not be overcome with due diligence. The church has always taught someone with invincible ignorance still has the possiblity to be saved.A vincible ignorant person in another religion would still be guilty of not wanting to find out the truth

In actuality true religions don’t teach about a hell fire because the scriptures don’t. If one chooses not to acknowledge Jesus that’s their decision, that’s the beauty of freewill that our creator gave. However, there are consequences but many won’t believe that either.

Yes. Jesus said, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again" (John 3:3) and "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). The Apostle John also made it very clear, "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son" (John 3:18).
What part of "you must be born again", Jesus is "the only way", and "whoever does not believe is condemned already" is not understood?
