YOU:
Can I say to people who ask.. if there is a geniune group of people who did not hear the gospel, that God will indeed reveal to them His Power and Glory if it is in His Plans that none shall perish and that this people, though not knowing Jesus Christ in name, will still feel the working of the Holy Spirit and that God will deal with them according to the information they have and the law that is written in their hearts and judge them accordingly ?
John666: Few points before you can conclude: 1. We cannot 'feel' the working of the Holy Spirit if we are not IN Christ.! period. God does not give the Holy SPirit to anyone and everyone. He does dwell with those who are His.
2. There is no other name under the heavens that man should be saved by. ( Acts 4:12 - And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." ) 3. God is not under obligation to save anyone. What is just is to let all human kind reap what they sow. i.e. eternal punishment. So it is by Grace ye are saved, through faith. 4. If it is in God's plan that none should perish, then all will be saved. ( this is called universalism ). In this case, there is no need to preach the gosple as well. I don't agree that universalism is in the Bible. 5. If that person does not want to believe in Jesus because he/she is pointing to other relatives or other nations who have died witout hearing Christ and is complaining about it: ask them this. "What about you who have heard ? Will you not accept Christ ? Because maybe the reason why your ancestors didn't believe is ( because even though heard), they were not sure if the whole race will accept Christ ?" So, it follws that those who ask you such questions should start by accepting Christ immediately ? Doesn't it ? -John666
