Isn't that kind of like asking how many people has your bible steered to atheism? I'd say it's steered many to that place. I'm sure you'd disagree with that but how can any of us say for sure what steers someone one place or another?

So I think the true answer is that God can be found wherever he is sought. That doesn't mean everything in any religious book is totally right or accurate but that there are some truths in them and the true seeker of God will find those truths even in books you deem heretical and wrong.



So the next question is who do I believe will go to heaven. I couldn't say. I couldn't say what requirements are there. I couldn't say what restrictions there are. I couldn't say much about it. I'd say it's in God's hands. Surprisingly, that's similar to what most apostolics profess at the end of the day when asked about otherwise good christian people that died without being baptized or receiving the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues....
