God will do what he will do with the unreached. I cannot say what he will or won't do with them. But our business is to tell everyone who doesn't know. Simple enough. |
No disrespect Mike but could you describe what that means to you? How do you go about telling everyone who does not know about Christ
I know in my life it was about getting someone to come to our church so the preacher could preach "the plan of salvation". I mean honestly, in our world who has not heard about Christ? It seems that we are not propagating the knowledge of Christ rather our particular form of religion. You seem to imply that the world has not heard. Yet the very basis of the Christian religions is that Christ died for our sins, and belief in that very fact.
With that thought in mind, separate the so called "plan of salvation" from the "believe on me by your words". Christ did not qualify that the world would receive the plan of salvation "by your words", he simply stated that the world would believe on him by their words. Man has made the "believe on him" into some set of steps of salvation.
