So they willingly gave up their lives just to tell people to go on with their lives...because they'd be saved anyway?
Seriously. You need to come up with more than that.
You changed what shana said. They loved the LORD and that was enough.
If you love the Lord is it not enough to do as instructed, to share the good news, to share faith with others. Not barter with their soul as Christianity teaches which is false reasoning to do anything for God.
Why would it not be enough to the spirit filled person? It may not be enough for you, but that's irrelevant.
44And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God, 45and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul -- contradicting and speaking evil. 46And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, `To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations; 47for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations -- for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.' 48And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe -- as many as were appointed to life age-during; 49and the word of the Lord was spread abroad through all the region. 50And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the first men of the city, and did raise persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and did put them out from their borders; 51and they having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium, 52and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit. (YLT)

No one as even come anywhere near suggesting this . This is coming out of your own heart.
If you knew the untold grace of God towards us , why would you want to do anything but want to be lost in His love and grace ?, why would you want to live as you did before ?
I don't buy it. Why would God send them out to be martyred?
They were killed by men more often than not who though they were doing God a service.
I have no doubt in my mind if this was the 1500's there would be a lot of us on here would be imprisoned for our belief and worse still put to death.And i could say this unequivocally that no one who holds to the doctrine of ET would be imprisoned or put to death.
If God is all about love and God's going to save everyone regardless, I don't buy the idea that he'd send people out to spread the message knowing that they'd be killed.

Regaurdless of what? You may be arguing a strawman since I have yet to hear anyone use that phrase that wasn't.

regardless of whether or not the apostles told them about Jesus.
