Subject: What about those who have never heard? |
Bible Note: Greeting John: You wrote:"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?" Although I agree with your post I would bring this scripture to your attention. "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." Romans 9:15 Exodus 33:19 Just something to consider! Blessings, Mommapbs |
