Bible Question: Is the person who has not had a chance to hear saved, lost ... or is there a third option? |
Bible Answer: Until a person hears, believes and obeys the Gospel (2 Thess 1:7-9; 1 Peter 4:16,17, must obey the Gospel too) he is not saved. But as I've stated before, the first message we 'hear', understand and know (Psalm 19:1; Romans 1:18-20) is from the Creation. This message sparks the natural spiritual inclination of each man and causes him to seek and grope and find the Creator. Ultimtely, his search will lead him to the Gospel. When he has heard and obeyed it, he will be saved. Searcher, you are good asking questions, and you are good at posting others people's work, and you are good at sending people off to the netherland of old posts, but where is your work, where is the evidence of your deep study? That's what I would like to see. I have given you plenty to think about and respond to, but you give very little. We all must conclude that you are still wrestling with these things. Have a good day. I am sincere when I say, may God bless you as you seek His will. Disciplerami |
