I'll bite. They're probably going to hell.

That's why Acts 2:38 believers are supposed to have a BURDEN for the lost. The 'lost' includes the wild heathen and those who have begun a sincere search for truth but have been turned astray by false doctrine.

Of course, people who have been told/convinced that they are saved contradictory to Acts 2:38 are harder to reach. Nobody likes to be shown they've been sold a bill of goods.

I've heard teaching that addressed some of the 'what ifs' that people have that is pertinent. The unreached indigenous peoples of Papua New Guinea were not even known to exist until this century. How could a merciful God judge them, and other heathen tribes like them, who never even had a chance to hear the gospel? The answer is that all men have God's word written in their hearts. We call it a conscience. Such peoples will be judged according to how they responded to their conscience.

Good job on the going to hell comment although you saved yourself by inserting "Probably"
