A biblical Christian is not concerned with the respect or reputation we receive from people outside the faith. Those are not the things we seek after. We seek to please the Father. Period.
And yes, we are becoming a minority in these last days. The Bible warns us that we will. It warns us that we will be hated, persecuted and even put to death. Yet, we still carry on believing, regardless the price, because we know He's real. Do you think Christians would give their lives for a lie or for pretty poetry?
The hypocrisy of the world is that all faiths are supposed to be of equal merit and all are tolerated... except Christianity. (Just as the Bible predicted.)

John 14:6 "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
I do believe many people will be judged according to their heart though. Most of the people around the world who did not have the word. I think that is mentioned in the Bible. I do not budge on that one bit, and never will. The writing is there and plain to see.

Because he says so. I didn't write it. Everyone can believe in what they want. That's what I believe because Jesus is the ONLY son of God to me, and the only path to salvation from this world.
As I said before I think many Indians and all kinds of other people throughout history will be judged according to their heart since they did not have the word.
We're all free to find what it is we believe in. I choose Jesus, and those are his words he told to the world.
Is there a salvation?
What I mean to say is; can people be saved from their own ignorance?

Luke 11.34-36 34 Your eyes are the lamp for your body. When your eyes are good, you have all the light you need. But when your eyes are bad, everything is dark. 35 So be sure that your light isn't darkness. 36 If you have light, and nothing is dark, then light will be everywhere, as when a lamp shines brightly on you.
I would hope so, since no one on Earth is immune to ignorance. I know I have a lot of faults that's for sure. That's why we aren't suppose to rely on our own understanding.
Yup. That's my intention. To make it very clear and straight forward. I definitely don't have a bit of "well maybe there is another way, or there could be several paths through different (prophets) exct." I'll never go for that, ever. That to me is anti-christ doctrine. A delusional deception sweeping the world. I quickly get away from anyone teaching any kind of universalism, or that Jesus was only a prophet, or that there are different ways for everyone to go to heaven.
