Since Christians think that "no one cometh to the Father but by me"[Jesus], what do they think becomes of those people who have never heard of or been exposed to the teachings of Jesus? Limbo? Just lay in the grave? Go to hell? Just curious.

I'll put in sence you asked a question
I dont think theres crulity involved , if they never have been exposed why wouldnt they have the same choices we've had , but im assuming there died and would be faced with the issue of God if they accept the Father and the Son and who wouldnt if they were able to know for a fact.
If they didnt except after seeing for themselves who knows it may not be good.

Some Christians believe that they will go to eternal hell, some believe that they will experience eternal death, and some believe that all will eventually be restored to the God. There may be other beliefs. God bless.
I've known of some who believe that they are lost or not worthy of experiencing truth. I've also heard that people will incarnate until they receive the truth. And I've also heard of people doing baptisms for the dead, meaning that they will get baptized for the one's who did not hear the truth.

I personally don't understand any of those.
I don't believe any of this is Biblical.

Reason: left out word
Romans 1:18-20 says that the truth is known to them instinctively and no one will have an excuse for not knowing God.
Moderator cut: deleted To say that people automatically "know" about a god is completely absurd. What your essentially saying that babies who can't even comprehend things like a mommy and daddy are able to understand the concept of a supernatural being. That makes no sense at all.

On the other hand, after years of attending Christian schools and asking many questions, which were never really answered, I researched other religions looking for one that made sense to me...I found none, but in my research came to the conclusion that all religions are invented by humans for various reasons, the main one being fear of death. Instinct does not apply here.
I believe God judges by the amount of light, or knowledge of him, that people are exposed to. So the person who never heard of Jesus is judged on if they feel God exsists. The Bible says that even looking at creation mankind should know that God exsists and they are without excuse.
In the book of Judges it says, "Will not the Judge of the world do right". I don't claim to understand everything but I do believe that God is a perfect, loving, and just God who will do the right thing. I believe young children who don't understand are under God's grace.
