Subject: What about those who have never heard? |
Bible Note: Meusing here, you asked "The problem as I see it is: If people are told that their salvation rests on their choosing Christ as their saviour and they bring up the question of those who never get to choose, how are they to be answered? What NT (or OT for that matter) text can we point them to? " Peter asked a question like that of Jesus, about John and Jesus said "what is that to you? you must follow me." John 21.23 Peter later said : Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved. |
