No one will be condemned to hell by God because of something that they did not know.
Deuteronomy 4:
Can people who don't have the spiritual knowledge of Jesus be saved?
Yes, Matthew 5:
Ultimately, God has the final say, Romans 9:
Deuteronomy 4:
These people knew the sun, moon, and stars but not the LORD. God would not send them all to hell wholesale.19 Beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.
Can people who don't have the spiritual knowledge of Jesus be saved?
Yes, Matthew 5:
You will be judged based on what you have heard and seen, not on what you do not know, John 9:3“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Satan fools some people, but everyone, every culture everywhere in space and time, knows the golden rule, Matthew 7:41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains.
Paul elaborated on the heart and conscience of Gentiles in Romans 2:12 in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Jesus will judge their works according to their own conscience, Revelation 2:14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
The judgment on you depends on how much you know and see. This principle can be applied to the souls of babies, children, and people with mental health issues. You are only responsible for what your conscience can teach you, Matthew 19:23b I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
Jeroboam was a bad king. His child was sick. He sent his wife to consult the prophet Ahijah, who said to her in 1 Kings 14:14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
The child was pleasing to the Lord, but he would die—not his bad father Jeroboam. The child was taken out of the bad environment. He will inherit eternal life.12Arise therefore, go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die. 13 And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something pleasing to the LORD, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
Ultimately, God has the final say, Romans 9:
See also15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
