Bible Question: If you have never had a chance to learn of the Trinity can you still go to Heaven? If so, is there scripture to back it up? |
Bible Answer: There are many different doctrines taught throughout the bible and all I believe are important for us to learn and understand. After all, each one is the word of God. I would encourage you to do a study on Salvation. There are many places on the web that offer free studies on this subject and can point you to many of the scriptures speaking to this subject. It's my belief the scriptures teach us that it's only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ that our sins are forgiven (Ephesians 1:7) and there is nothing we can do to earn that forgiveness of sin on our own, it is a gift from God Himself (Ephesians 2:8-9) and that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our heart God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved! (Romans 10:9-10). Please do not misunderstand me regarding the doctrine of the Trinity. I am not saying this is not important nor something you should disregard. I'm only attempting to point out the word of God to my understanding does not require the belief or understanding of the trinity to be saved. However, I will also state that I do believe the bible teaches us what we (mankind) refer to as the triune God. One God in three distinct persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).
