Actually, I have seen Christian use the bible to justify their belief that even 'non-believers' will be saved.
​
From a Jewish perspective, the concept of Salvation is for this world, not the next one, so the Christian concept of 'being saved' is absent
and unneeded.
​
From an athiestic point of view, it is a load of superstion , based on belief in an imaginary friend.

Outrage, heck, if I wanted outrage, I could be much more colorful than that.
​
However, I was pointing out that the CHristian insistance on 'Christ for Salvation' only matters to Christians, not to anyone else. No one else thinks belief in Christ as a god means anything at all.

I will not that the 'SHeep' will be seperated from the 'Goats' BY THEIR WORKS, not by their beliefs.
​
This goes to show that the different 'New Testament' writers all had different forumulas for 'salvation', and used different secret decoder rings to find what they thought was god's intent.
