Here's an example: A Christ-following Jew

Christian? No.
Saved? Yes.

]
Here's a better example:
Gal 3:28-29 There cannot be Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (29) And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.

This was the "Why only us?" question I had to grapple with as a young adult.

Is it true? Heaven is only for Christians? What does that even mean?

Satan can give visions! Jesus did mention Hindu's in the Bible tho.

And here you are 40 yrs later and are still clueless. @St. SteVen , according to your Thread.

That's not a good sign.

The reality is.....>Heaven is for "all who will believe in Jesus"........."as many was will believe"........"ALL who call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved".

So, this is an OPEN INVITATION to the world of sinners..........as "For God so loved the WORLD that He GAVE HIS SON">.. so that all can have Heaven as their home.

Not all will have it.

= John 3:36

The Hindu in the video saw the New Jerusalem and talked to Jesus.
Worth watching.

what a lie .
IF a hindu actually had SEEN JESUS
you can bet that HINDU would have been told TIME TO REPENT OF THE FALSE HINDU RELIGOIN
All this is just smoke and mirrors to make the realm of christendom
beleive a lie . You fell for it big time too . I warned people for years
this is exactly where chrisetendom was headed .
And for years many , not all , but many thought i was nuts and no way could that happen .
WELL IT SURE IS aint in st steven . You are gonna have a lot of blood on your hands come judgment day .
LEST YE REPENT of COURSE . and my advice is do SO fast cause no man knows his last day on earth .
If i didnt love the peoples i would not warn the peoples .
A hindu . was he standing next to a muslim and a buddist too , mabye an antheist
as they all sung cumbyia . WE been sold A LIE
but the sad fact is MORE and more seem to love this lie .

Keep reminding all my friend . i did warn us this false love lie was filling places up .
WE stick to the ONE TRUE GOSPEL . sadly many sure seem to love this other love spell they think is love and the gospel .
Keep reminding till the last breath my friend .

But though we , or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which ye had recieved
let him be accursed .
ITS THIS STUFF i been warning about for years my freind . Its taking more and more of even christendom
captive to the lie that it calls love and has made the road to GOD very broad and sin accepting , unbelief accepting etc .

It means that whoever does finally find themselves in heaven, it will be a surprise to many others, possibly a surprise to themselves, but without exception, all will be there because of what Jesus accomplished on Calvary. Does that designate them all as Christians? Not necessarily. Nor does it designate them all as Catholics, Protestants, or even simply "believers". One other thing they will all have in common. They, each and every one, will have been living life to the full and in harmony to the measure of light on truth that they had received. None of them would have completed knowledge. Any more so than any of us. But all would have been heading in that direction, the tendency of their motives and actions, mistakes notwithstanding, evidence that the Spirit of God was steering them towards that one goal...an intimate and fully surrendered relationship with Jesus, so that in the end, Jesus could declare before all the angels in heaven, I know him.

Your reading comprehension skills are less than ideal for someone so determined to grapple with the big issues off life. You have presumed I am saying everyone will go to heaven. Read it again.
So where are those who don't go to Heaven going? I know, but do you?

Eventually, after their resurrection at the end of the 1000 years, they will be judged and thrown into the lake of fire. The very same lake of fire that cleanses the planet of all the pollutions, poisons, and man made weapons of warfare and monuments of pride and idolatrous arrogance that were devastated 1000 years previous at Christ's second coming when He took His bride home to meet His Father. Those thrown into the fire, along with the devil and his angels, are destroyed. The new earth is then recreated on the ashes of the old.

“1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. ”
Malachi 4:1-3 KJV

Yes, until they die. A more merciful option than the scenario you would take if you were in charge, deliberately keeping them alive so you could inflict more pain.
