Steve, (and everyone else who chipped in)

I understand what you are saying, but to me, it is not sensical.
It implies(again, to me) that God cares more about recognition and servitude, than he does action and intention. It is just not something that I,personally, could follow. Ultimately, it says that all that matters is if in the end, that you humble your self before Jesus, and that if you dont call him by a certain name, you pay with eternal torture.
In my mind, God would find your actions and intentions to be more important than by what name you call him. That the state of your soul is more important to him, than weather you recognize him.

Again, this is only my opinion, and I am not asking anyone else to follow it, and I certainly mean no disrespect.

re: what is unfair

What seems to me unfair about your position is that anyone who escapes being evangelized may not be damned, while anyone who does not believe because he is exposed only to incompetent, racist, vicious, and repulsive evangelists is damned for not becoming a Christian because the only "Christians" he sees are bad advertisements for Christ. Gandhi's point.
