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.
