ecoleco: Please some one with good knowledge of Escatology should respond to this question:

How will God judge those that died without ever hearing of Jesus Christ. For instance those that lived before the time of Christ and those that live in the remotest places of the earth where real missionary work has been done.

Thank you.

seriallink: ^^^^I think the OP wants to know how God will judge those who never had the opportunity to hear anything about the gospel before they died. Just like the verse below says;

And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to the whole world as testimony to all Nations and then the end will come :- Matthew 24:14

Because, if they are condemned for not worshiping Yahweh, they might stand on the fact that the gospel wasn't preach to them before they died! And since they never had the opportunity to hear anything about the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, there would be no testimony against them! So, how would their own judgement be I think that was the OP's question! Any contribution? Because this has been bugging me in a while too.

truthislight:

John 5:28,29 =
resurrection of ALL(note, all the dead) in the grave will come out.

Both righteous and unrighteose.

Acts 17:13 = christ is the appointed judge for the judgement "day" (judgement "day". A day = 1000yrs 2pet 3:8. )

so, the judgement "day" is 1000yrs = Rev 20:4 and Rev 20:6. During which Rev 20:12,13. Will Come to pass.

The resurrected dead will be judge based on what?
Their passed deed? No.

The wages of sin is death Romans 6:23.

havent died, they have paid for their passed sins, Romans 6:7
they come not on a clean slate.

the resurrected ones will be judged based on what they will do during the 1000yrs judgement "day" when they will learn about christ and be given the opportunity withing the 1000yrs.

at the end, they either pass to eternal life or 2nd dead(dead without resurection)

those to be resurrected are known by almighty God.
Ofcouse not all those that have died that will be remembered by God. Some people though they never heard about christ were just corrupt in the heart. Isaiah 5:20.

Those that have heard, witness is served.

After judgment day, then there will be a clean human race that christ will hand over to God. 1corinth. 15:24-28

Then as it was in the begining with Adam, all of mankind will relate to God as their God. Rev 21:1-4.
Peace

seriallink:

Thanks bros

note, it been edited for errors.

The acts 17:13 is supposed to be acts 17:31

Thank you.

Krucifax: The more interesting question is how will God judge non-Christians? Or is every person of other faiths doomed to damnation?

ghazzal:
Did u not read from above that the wages of sin is death. And since all hv died, the sin is erased already. What is there to be judged for again!

Do not confuse physical death with spiritual death. Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is (spiritual/eternal) death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. You get eternal life or eternal death. If the death referred to in Romans 6:23 was physical death and sinners died a physical death because of sin then we would expect righteous people not to die a physical death.

Digriz: No one knows.

ghazzal: i dont seem to get you!
Are you saying that the eternal life is not physical eternal life?
Then read Rev 21:4.

Your physical death does not erase your sin. (Hebrews 9: 27 - 'And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:')

Those who die a physical death will still rise to be judged (John 5: 29 - 'and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned' ). Physical death is not the 'wages of sin' referred to in Romans 6:23; Eternal/Spiritual/Second death is. It is the Second death eradicates the sin and the sinner.

ecoleco:
This is a great contribution by truthislight. Thanks for taking the pain to respond.
Your comment my brother, suggests that the resurrection of the unjust will happen first, then the 1000yrs of Christ reign so that the unjust will have an opportunity to accept or reject Christ. Then finally their judgment described in Revelation 21. This is an option I have never really looked at in details. Thanks for suggesting that option. I will look at it in details.

Sorry, truthislight, the bolded is an erroneous interpretation of Romans 6:23! Physical death is not the wages of sin. If it were, righteous people will not die at all in the physical. Physical death does not absolve man of his accountability to God. (John 5: 29 - 'and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned' )

can you please explain the principle behind baptism?
deeping someone in water and bringing the person out? Romans 6:1-5
And after the baptism of a repentant Sinner, will God still recall the repentant sinner former sins and use it against him after baptism?
^^^
please explain.
Am waiting.
Thanks.

it is upto you to explain what the principle of baptism is based on.

we are still waiting for you to come and explain what the principe of baptism is based on.

Pastor AIO: I am of the opinion that baptism (water) has a real effect on the spirit of the person being baptized and it is not 'only' symbolic.
