Emile; This is not a black and white issue. Yes you must accept Jesus to receive eternal life. Remember my friend that this world is not a perfect vacuum. There are cases of sick people holding humans since birth as slaves with no knowledge of the Bible let alone Jesus only to find many of them dead in there adult age. Since you claim that all that do not accept Jesus on this earth are going to Hell what about those people who were kept as animals with no way of even knowing he existed, they never confessed how could they so according to your Judgmental sprit enter heaven they will go to hell as well since according to your teachings haven't accepted Jesus has there Messiah. Again we are not to judge only to spread the good news of Jesus and nothing more. 1Cor:4:5: Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. Lk:6:37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Mt:7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.27: For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28: Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. 24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25: Verily, verily, I say unto you,The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26: For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27: And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.28: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29: And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 30: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
