Being saved

[Wlfwnd91]

So, I'm just wondering, and I'm not trying to attack any religion or anything like that, this is just something I've wondered for a few months now and I figure the CT forum would be a good place to get some more open-minded points of view.. so here it goes.

This is from a sect's point of view that does not believe in purgatory keep in mind. Just heaven and hell

So, if you've never heard of God or of Christianity and you die, then do you still go to heaven if you were a relatively good person? If you go to Hell simply because you didn't worship God, but you still did your part in playing a positive role in society, wouldn't that seem cruel and heartless?

Or, if you haven't heard about God and in which case he says "Well, they never had the opportunity to hear of my word, and they were good people, I'll let em in." then...why do Christians continue to be so insistent on spreading the word? Isn't that like inviting people to Hell?

What is your guys's take on this? Cause in the bible it states that it is not by acts of righteousness by which we are saved, but by the grace of God. So, do our acts hold no sway at all? Especially if you were never "enlightened with the word of God"?

(tired, if any of this confuses anyone ask questions and I can answer them, it's not that I don't know how to word what I'm saying, it's just that I'm very tired at the moment)

So basically, do our acts mean anything? If not, then why do we bother, and if so, then why is worshipping an all knowing, all powerful, all loving being so important?
