"People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway."

In this present challenging world Christians have been facing the difficult to How to relate the Christian worldview to a non-Christian world. Twenty centuries of experience have not simplified this task, as new challenges have arisen in every century and new methods and approaches to defending the Christian faith have been formulated in response. In this book Kenneth  D.Boa (is engaged in a ministry of relational evangelism and discipleship, teaching, writing, and speaking. He holds a B.S. From Case Institute of Technology, a Th.M.  From Dallas Theological Seminary, a Ph.D. from New York University, and a D.Phil. From the University of Oxford in England. He also is the president of Reflections Ministries and Trinity House Publishers) and Robert M.  Bowman Jr. ( is the president of the Centre for Biblical Apologetic). Has brought  some of the important figures Apologetics.
This  book contains six parts and twenty-three chapters. In the first part of this book define Apologetics, its related terms, and functions. The authors provide a defining Apologetics that stands head and shoulders over most, due to their clear style and thorough treatment. The authors then offer a brief history of Apologetics that covers the New Testament, Early Church Fathers, Augustine, Aquinas, Anselm, and the Reformation, closing with a discussion of modern Apologetics. In the chapter three, as they explain four main types of apologetic systems: Classical, Evidentialist, Reformed, and Fideist Apologetics. In part two They deals with the Classical Apologetics it emphasizes the presentation of Christianity as rational as logically coherent and supportable by sound arguments and offers what is its advocates consider proofs of various for the existence of God as a first step in defending the truth claims of the Christian faith. Here the authors examining the roots of classical Apologetics and consider briefly the thought of modern classical Apologist. Continually they bring how this principle is related to various crucial areas of human knowledge that have an important bearing on the truth claims of Christianity. In sixth chapter they speak about the existence of the God, the evidence for Jesus Christ and the inspiration of the Bible are sufficient to show that Christianity is true. In the conclusion of the part two they summarize Classical Apologetics model for the Apologetics, illustrate its use in practical Apologetics encounters, and then consider its major strength and weaknesses. In part three the authors examine the roots of evidentialist Apologetics and consider briefly the thought of five modern evidentialists. And give special attention to the apologetic system of the influential contemporary evidentialist John Warwick Montgomery. In part four they emphasizing conservative Calvinistic or Reformed circles, the approach emphasizes the presentation of Christianity as revealed as based on the authoritative revelation of God in Scripture and in Jesus Christ. It’s most common forms find absolute and certain proof of Christianity in the absolute and certain Character of the knowledge that God has and that he has revealed to humanity.  They begin by examining in some depth the apologetic thought of John Calvin himself. Following that they discuss the Modern roots of Reformed apologetics, and then consider the thought of four twentieth- Century Reformed apologists. In part five the authors examine the roots of fideist Apologetics and consider briefly  the thought of five influential fideist Apologists.  Fideism or the emphasis on a faith commitment. The reasons of the heart will bring you to a personal encounter with God in Jesus Christ. Martin Luther, Blaise Pascal, Karl Barth are proponents. They  have argued that the insights of fideism can be incorporated into apologetics. It is clear, though, that a full-bodied apologetic will have to draw from one or more of the other approaches as well. In Part Six: Integrative Approaches to Apologetics, the authors explore a number of apologists who incorporate elements from each of the different approaches. They “integrate” elements from the different methodologies: “Typically, these apologists integrate two or more approaches by expanding one approach to absorb elements (usually not the whole) of the others.
This book is a good attempt Kenneth Boa and Robert Bowman have assembled a wealth of information about what Christians believe and how to present that faith to an unbelieving world. The book is very helpful in identifying the various kinds of appeals, arguments, and defenses of the faith that can be mounted. We are also reminded that people differ in what will appeal to them, and they differ at various points in their lives. Each section includes a sample dialog exhibiting how the practitioner of that apologetic style would interact with a nonbeliever.
However, the book's greatest virtue is its ability to locate the importance of Apologetics in the life of the church as well as in the personal faith of the individual believer.
I recommend this book to all of the Christian ministers, especially to the Christian Apologetics.

The World Is Not Your End
You may conquer the galaxies and reign over the stars,
Then, after that, what yet?
You may receive adulation of all that are born,
Then, after that, what yet?
You may have all the riches that riches can contain,
Then, after that, what yet?
Does space have a border; is there to heights an end?
You move upwards, downwards, and sidewards;
Yet, farther recedes space
(Distraught by time);
You never reach
‘Cos the world is not your end.
I will show you your destiny,
O man, woman, or child, whoever!
This world is a train, don’t just walk in it,
‘Cos the train is not the end.
Get your maps ready, chart your course right,
Here is your destiny, beyond space and time:
Eternity…
This world is a little game, with spectators all around,
The game seems all reality when you’re playing in the ground.
But, sooner the game will be over; then, there’s a world
beyond…
Each fragment of life is a game with its rules, a perspective, an
angle;
Don’t be so lost in it, that you forget that rules are man-made,
Don’t flow passively with the current…
But, then, you’ll flow if you know not where to go!But, you should know it, shouldn’t you?
Here is it, then, again: eternity…
Rule 1: What do you leave for your posterity?
What history, legacy, and life?
Rule 2: What do you have in heaven?
What joys, satisfaction, and rewards?

Francis A. Schaeffer, Escape from reason,
Francis A. Schaeffer, Escape from reason, Illinois: Intervarsity Press, 1971.
Paperback
Pages- 96.
Christian responsibility is not only to hold to the basic, scriptural principles of the Christian faith inside the Church, but to communicate these unchanging truths into the generation in which it is living. Every generation of Christian has problem of learning how to speak meaningfully to its own age. If we are to communicate the Christian faith effectively, therefore we must know and understand the thought form of our own age. So in this book the author Francis A. Schaeffer was an American Christian theologian, philosopher, apologist, and Presbyterian pastor, as well as the founder of the L'Abri community in Switzerland. He talks in this book the characteristic of an age in which, how we must present the gospel to the people.
This book contains seven chapters. In first chapter he begins with the Thomas Aquinas and he states Thomas Aquinas's view the will of man was fallen, but the intellect was not. From this incomplete view of the biblical fall flowed all the subsequent difficulties. Man's intellect became autonomous. From the basis of this autonomous principle, philosophy also became free, and was separated from revelation. Aquinas’ view of nature and grace did not involve a complete discontinuity between them. When nature is made autonomous it soon ends up by devouring God, grace, freedom and ultimately man. In chapter two he states the Reformation accepted the biblical picture of a total fall. He traces a line through the renaissance, the reformation, the development of science, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, contemporary existentialism, into contemporary culture.  The whole man had been made by God, but now the whole man is fallen, including his intellect. He adds, "What the Reformation tells us, therefore, is that God has spoken in the Scriptures concerning both the upstairs and the downstairs. He adds, the biblical position, says that when the historic space-time fall took place, it affected the whole man on the basis of Christ's work there is redemption for the whole man this meant a lordship of Christ in culture. So it means that Christ is equally Lord in both areas Grace and Nature.  In chapter three he argues, "Modern scientists insist on a total unity of the downstairs and the upstairs, and the upstairs disappears. Neither God not freedom are there any more everything is in the machine. In fact, love no longer exists significance no longer exists in the old 'upstairs; nothing exists. He observes, "I call this line in the diagram the Line of Despair What is this despair? It arises from the abandonment of the hope of a unified answer for knowledge and life. In chapter four he is tracing the hope of a connecting link between the two spheres has disappeared. There is no permeation or interchange there is a complete dichotomy between the upper and lower storeys. This is what it means to say man is dead. He was always dead but did not know enough to know that he was dead. He also brings Kierkegaard’s two existentialism secular existentialism and religious existentialism. It is this that separates modern man from Reformation man, who actually possessed a rational unity above and below the line on the basis of the content of the biblical revelation. In chapter five he addressing nature had come to represent determinism the machine, with man in the hopeless situation of being caught in the machine. The universe is not rational, it is an impersonal machine and man a part of that. But man is a personality and personhood according to Schaffer cannot be found in a mechanistic universe. As man strives to express his freedom in his autonomous fashion, much, though not all, of his art becomes meaningless and ugly.  Furthermore in chapter six he continuing the subject of the leap modern man has long since abandoned "grace" or "heaven" or "Scriptures" as the principle of experiential unification, he has nothing left but despair. So now, man is trying mysticism, pornography, drugs, death and other forms of ways to 'leap' into something else that can provide meaning. In the last chapter he says, in spite of all the evil work which is dominating over modern age. To answer the entire problem Christianity is only can stand and answer the despaired of the human being.  
However this book is a good challenge for the modern Christians in the world where the art and philosophy have dominating so it is very important to know that how we should present the gospel to the evil practice world I recommend this book to all of the Christian ministers, especially to the Evangelist and Christian Apologetics.

Introduction
We live on a planet populated billions of people. And most of those, it probably would be said, never have been given the opportunity of hearing the gospel message about the salvation that comes through Jesus Christ. Therefore, obviously, they cannot respond in obedience to that saving message even though they might be willing to do so if presented with the prospect. Fortunately, in His wisdom, God has not left us to our own devices concerning matters that relate to our salvation. As we examine these kinds of questions, it is vitally important that we remember two points. First, the Judge of all the Earth will do right. God is every bit as infinite in His mercy and His grace as He is in His justice and His severity. Second, since it is the Word of God that instructs us regarding man’s eternal destiny, and since all men eventually will be judged by that Word it is in God’s Word that we must go to find answers to inquiries concerning mankind’s ultimate destiny. Fortunately, in His wisdom, God has not left us to our own devices concerning matters that relate to our salvation. Therefore, throughout this paper we are going to look what will happen to the person who has never heard the gospel? It is true that without Jesus Christ no one will go to heaven. But in this paper, we are going to see how it fair that God to be judged the individual who have never heard the gospel even many them never heard the name of Jesus Christ.
1. God’s plan of Salvation.
The Scriptures did not clearly teach that someone who has never heard of Jesus can be saved; we do believe that it infers this. “We do believe that every person will have an opportunity to repent, and that God will not exclude anyone because he happened to be born in the wrong place and at the wrong time.”[1]
We know that it is God’s desire that none “should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (II Peter 3:9,). This indicates that God also cares for those persons who have not heard the gospel. He has demonstrated this by sending His Son to die in their place. “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8, KJV). “The Bible teaches that God is going to judge the world fairly and righteously. “Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness” (Acts 17:31,). This means that when all the facts are in, God’s name will be vindicated and no one will be able to accuse Him of unfairness.”[2]
 The Bible itself testifies to the fact that there are those who will hear and respond out of every person on the earth. “For you were killed, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” (Revelation 5:9).[3]
As Jeremiah wisely observed: “It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps”.[4]  A.H. Strong wrote: “Since Christ is the Word of God and the Truth of God, he may be received even by those who have not heard of his manifestation in the flesh.... We have, therefore, the hope that even among the heathen there may be some...who under the guidance of the Holy Spirit working through the truth of nature and conscience, have found the way to life and salvation.”[5] Approximately fifty years later, popular evangelical theologian Karl Barth defended such a concept via what he called his “biblical universalism.” He wrote: “We have no theological right to set any sort of limits to the loving kindness of God”. [6] Josh McDowell and Don Stewart stated: “Although the Scriptures never explicitly teach that someone who has never heard of Jesus can be saved, we do not believe that it infers [sic] this. We do believe that every person will have an opportunity to repent, and that God will not exclude anyone because he happened to be born at the wrong place and at the wrong time.”[7]  All have sinned, and those who have not been “justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24) are under divine condemnation (Romans 3:10-20; 5:16-19) and must stand before God in judgment, because apart from Christ we are enemies of God (Romans 5:10).”[8]
2. God judges according to opportunity.
“God won't judge a person on the basis of something that one has never heard, but on the basis of what one already knows. Which person has never deliberately done wrong? What person can say that he or she always measures up to his or her own standard of what they ought to be?.”[9]
3. God judges without partiality.
“Whether a Jew or a Greek, a religious person, a moral person, an educated person, or a total pagan who knows nothing of God, it makes no difference whether one's sins are notorious sins or respectable sins, obvious sins or hidden, secret sins, one still falls under God’s judgment, there is no protected class of people who are exempt from God’s judgment. There will come a time when Jesus returns, when all secret thoughts and acts, good or bad, will come out.” [10]
4. God's judgment is according to truth.
God is an utter realist. God sees us exactly as we are. He knows all our secrets. He knows all the carefully concealed, hidden areas of our life that we keep away from every other eye. God’s judgment is based on truth.” [11]
5.God judges according to the light given.
And some light is given to all persons in the form of a conscience. God's judgment is based on what you do with what you know. Even those who have never heard of Jehovah or the law have a conscience. If a person hasn’t heard of God, if that person would live even according to her own conscience, she would be justified. But the fact is, no one lives even according to their own conscience. “No one of any religion lives up to their own religion or philosophy, or their own principles. God judges us not by some artificial standard, but by our own standard. God is justified in judging all, because all are guilty even according to their own conscience.”[12]
6. The Witness of Creation
The Bible reveals that no one has any excuse. “For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse” (Romans 1:19–20,).
It is a fact that all of mankind can tell that a creator does exist, because His creation testifies to it. This testimony is universal. Although the people have enough information that God does exist, they become willfully ignorant of the things of God because their hearts are evil. The Bible teaches that the unbelieving individual is “holding down the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18). “Moreover, the Scriptures relate that man is not seeking after God but actually running from Him. “There is none that seeketh after God” (Romans 3:11,). Therefore, it is not a case of God refuses to get His Word to someone who is desperately searching for the truth.”[13]
 “A person doesn’t go to hell because they haven’t heard the gospel, they are judged because they have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God because there is not one human that is righteous (Rom 3:10) and the wages of sin are death (Rom 6:23).”[14]
7. Evidence of a Creator in His creations itself.
There is actually evidence of a Creator in the creation itself. The Psalmist declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.  Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.  In the heavens, God has pitched a tent for the sun” (Psalm 19:1-4).
        “Paul declares that creation itself displays the Creator in Romans 1:18-23.“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.  For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.[15] For  although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.”[16]
Paul pulls no punches by saying that “God’s invisible qualities…have been clearly seen” and “that people are without excuse.”  Rather than giving glory to God and His creation, they “exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.”   We see this in the many idols created throughout human history and in many different cultures where “they exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator” (Rom 1:25).”[17]
 “Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death.” [18]  Paul says that “they are without excuse, they denied God’s existence, became a God-hater, are filled with all kinds of wickedness, worship the creation rather than the Creator, and even though they know God’s righteous decrees, they do the very things that “deserve death” (eternal death specifically).”[19]
8. God has revealed Himself, His nature.
 “Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made.” [20] “So they are without excuse; for although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened. (Romans 1:19-21). This Self-revelation of God, specifically in each person's understanding, leaves them "without excuse".”[21]

9. The Inward Law

“There is something “written within the heart,” i.e., in the human psyche, that “by nature” urges one to do what he perceives to be right and refrain from what he feels to be wrong. It has been defined as the “natural sense of what is right and wrong”.”[22] This moral sense cannot minutely define right and wrong, but it can initiate some broad and strong inclinations. “This certainly is evidenced by the fact that Adam and Eve felt guilt after having eaten the forbidden fruit, even before confronted by God (Genesis 3:7-10). “Condemned by their own consciences, they were ashamed and afraid to meet their benefactor and friend an inevitable consequence of sin”. “There is no witness so terrible an accuser as powerful as conscience which dwells within us”. Man’s conscience is the oracle of God.”[23]
“There is a fundamental fact of human history. Humanity was created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). This does not have reference to the physical features of humankind, for God is not physical (Matthew 16:17; John 4:24; Luke 24:39); rather, as noted above, it alludes to intangible qualities that were created resident in the spirit of the person.”[24] “The English word derives from the Greek term, synthesis, a compound term signifying “to know together.” It reflects a common knowledge that human beings share with one another of a sense of religious and moral culpability.”[25]
“It is not the product of environment, training, habit, race impression, or education, though it is influenced by all these factors”.[26] The ancient Gentiles, therefore, were not judged by the same rule as the Jews, but they were not void of law and culpability. Their conscience bears witness with their heart that the right is preferable, and lastly, after the deed is done, their thoughts or inward reasoning accuse or excuse them according as their act has been wrong or right.”[27] “These well-known psychological phenomena, observable among the Gentiles, are proof that they are not without law, with its power and privilege of justification. All rational human beings do have an intrinsic sense (a conscious awareness) that there is right and wrong. It is not perfectly defined in nature; that requires revelation. Nevertheless, it is there, and it is universal.”[28]
 C. S. Lewis,  wrote: “If anyone will take the trouble to compare the moral teaching of, say, the ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Hindus, Chinese, Greeks and Romans, what will really strike him will be how very like they are to each other and to our own.”[29]
Even more significant, perhaps, was the testimony of David Hume, the notoriously skeptical Scottish philosopher who was so militant against Christianity. He stated:
          “It is universally acknowledged that there is a great uniformity among the actions of men, in all nations and ages, and that human nature remains still the same, in its principles and operations. The same motives always produce the same actions; the same events follow from the same causes. Ambition, avarice, self-love, vanity, friendship, generosity, public spirit; these passions, mixed in various degrees, and distributed through society, have been, from the beginning of the world, and still are, the source of all the actions and enterprises which have ever been observed among mankind. Would you know the sentiments, inclinations, and course of life of the Greeks and Romans? Study well the temper and actions of the French and English; you cannot be much mistaken in transferring to the former most of the observations which you have made with regard to the latter. Mankind are so much the same, in all times and places, that history informs us of nothing new or strange in this particular. Its chief use is only to discover the constant and universal principles of human nature.”[30]
Incidentally, Hume conceded that “there is no rational excuse for the worship of many gods.
Were men led into the apprehension of invisible intelligent power by a contemplation of Nature, they could never possibly entertain any conception, but of one single Being, who bestowed existence and order on this vast machine and adjusted all its parts to one regular system.”[31]
“The conscience is a part of the human package, and it demonstrates a moral chasm between men and women and other biological creatures of our planet (Genesis 1:26-27).”[32]
10.God has revealed His Law in the hearts of all people
All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. (Romans 2:12-16).[33]
   “Paul says that the Gentiles who do by nature (Gk. phusis) what the law require show that what the law requires is written on their hearts. In other words, God has embedded moral knowledge into the very nature of man, that is why man is inescapably a moral being. And, despite all psychological attempts to explain the nature of "conscience", the fact of the conscience as a man's inner witness remains indisputable. Wherever man has lived, there has been a sense of morality, justice, and judgment.”[34]
“The two facts, the knowledge of the divine nature and the knowledge of the moral law, are not said to be something that is arrived at by reasoning. They are stated to be intrinsic to the primal experience of man.”[35]
In addition to that, the Bible also talks of  the divine witness among all men through various means: Melchizedek, who was the Priest of the Most High, Balaam, who was a prophet among the non-Israelites, Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus, who were chosen by God and knew Him, Epimenides of Crete who spoke to the Athenians and the Cretans, the Magi who saw the Star and came to Bethlehem. Space permits us not to speak of the many ways in which we are surprised to see that God has been dealing with His people all over the world, regardless of language or nationality.”[36]
     “Thus, the  criterion of knowing God is the primary obligation. The Greek word used there is eido which means to see with perception. It carries the sense of being godly minded, the sense of godliness. In other words, the knowers of God are actually those who seek Him. In addition, it also carries the sense of actual, intuitive, and complete knowledge in contrast to a progressive one which indicates their passing the test of being those who know God. They are the confirmed godly. In the judgment, they will receive the justice of a God governed eternity, a godly one. The rest of the confirmed godless will receive the justice of a godless eternity, that is separation from the presence of God.”[37]
“It is destruction because it will be the condition of utter lawlessness (violation of law) and chaos. They will be removed from God's presence because they can't stand it owing to their final decisive state.”[38]
11. The Witness of the Conscience
There are two witnesses that proclaim that there is a God, even without the gospel:  The creation and the conscience.  They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.  Paul shows that by nature, even the Gentiles who didn’t have the Law of God knew better because “the requirements of the law are written on their hearts” while “their consciences also bearing witness” and even “their thoughts sometimes accusing them .”  What Paul is saying is that the Law of God   that is to do what is good and not what is evil   is written on their hearts and bears witness to the truth in “their consciences.”[39]
12. Early Church Speculations on Those Who Died Before Hearing the Gospel
Justin Martyr (138-165 A.D.) Those who did which were universally, naturally, and eternally good are pleasing to God, they will be saved through Christ in the resurrection equally with the righteous men before them, such as Noah, Enoch, Jacob, and others. [40]
 Irenaeus of Lyons (182-188 A.D.) "It was for this reason, too, that the Lord descended into the regions beneath the earth, preaching His advent there also and [declaring] the remission of sins received by those who believe in Him. Now all those believed in Him who had hope towards Him, that is, those who proclaimed His advent, and submitted to his dispensations, the righteous men, the prophets, and the patriarchs,… For ‘all men come short of the glory of the God,’ and are not justified of themselves, but by the advent of the Lord.[41]  
"And on this account all things have been [by general consent] placed under the sway of Him who is styled the Most High, and the Almighty. By calling upon Him, even before the coming of our Lord, men were saved both from most wicked spirits, and from all kinds of demons, and from every sort of apostate power. [42] 
Clement of Alexandria: (193-202 A.D.) answers about those who never heard the Gospel. 
Wherefore the Lord preached the Gospel to those in Hades. It is not plainly the  place, which, the words above say, heard the voice, but those who have been put in Hades, and have abandoned themselves to destruction, as persons who have thrown themselves voluntarily from a ship into the sea. They, then, are those that hear the divine power and voice. [43] If, then, the Lord descended to Hades for no other end but to preach the Gospel, as He did descend; it was either to preach the Gospel to all or to the Hebrews only. If, accordingly, to all, then all who believe shall be saved, although they may be of the Gentiles, on making their profession, there; since God's punishments are saving and disciplinary, leading to conversion, and choosing rather the repentance thorn the death of a sinner;"[44]
Tertullian (198-220 A.D.) mentions that Christ went to Hades "that He might there make the patriarchs and prophets partakers of Himself." (It does not say whether or not Jesus preached to them though.). [45]
Hippolytus (222-235/6 A.D.) "He [Jesus] who is becoming the preacher of the Gospel to the dead, the redeemer of souls, and the resurrection of the buried;" 
Origen (225-254 A.D.) "but also, then when He became a soul, without the covering of the body, He dwelt among those souls which were without bodily covering, converting such of them as were willing to Himself, or those whom He saw, for reasons known to Him alone, to be better adapted to such a course."  [46]
13. God’s Two Laws of Pardon
All   accountable human beings are guilty of sin. Even those who have committed their lives to Jesus Christ and have been forgiven of their past sins are capable of sinning again.[47]
While forgiveness of sin is freely given by our heavenly Father, it is conditional, both for the alien sinner and for the erring child of God. The conditions are not the same for both, but must be complied with in both cases if pardon is to take place.[48]
According to Romans 2:12, there are two kinds of sinners: Those condemned apart from the Law, and those condemned in it. What does that mean exactly? It means that whether or not a person had the revelation of the Law of Moses or not, he was a sinner. Whether the person was an Israelite living under the Mosaic system, or a pagan living under his own moral or ethical system, man is a sinner. Romans 2:15 goes on to explain that those to whom the Law of Moses was never given, that is, those who are wholly ignorant of it, are still guilty of sin and their very consciences bear witness to this fact. They may not have the revelation of God’s specific Law as handed down to Moses on Mt. Sinai, but they are guilty of violating the moral and ethical expectations planted in their own hearts. Those living under the Law of Moses are sinners because they failed to keep that Law; those not living under the Law of Moses are sinners because they have failed to keep the Law written in their heart.[49] 
14 .Babies who die
Not only are infants incapable of believing the gospel, but they are also incapable of rejecting Jesus Christ.[50] There is one particular class of individuals that certainly go to heaven even though they haven't accepted Jesus as Savior. The Bible makes it clear that infants and children who die go to heaven on the basis of their inability to fully understand the difference between good and evil and make a rational choice. It is likely that older individuals, who are, likewise, unable to choose because of a mental disability, go to heaven without the requirement of having to directly choose Jesus as Savior.[51]
15.The name "Jesus"
Being a theologian we know that "Jesus" is not the "real" name of the Savior. His real (Hebrew) name is "Yeshua," which is usually translated into the English as "Joshua." The Greek transliteration is "iaysous." In fact, in three verses of the New Testament (Luke 3:29, Acts 7:45, and Hebrews 4:8), iaysous is translated into the English as "Joshua," since the text refers to the Old Testament saint. In addition, the word "Christ" is not Jesus' last name, but His title. The Greek word "christos" (translated "Christ" in the English) means "Messiah," the "anointed one." This is why the New Testament letters often refer to Jesus as "Christ Jesus," which means "Messiah Jesus." Other languages have different pronunciations of the name of Jesus such as in hindi Yeshu, in odiya Jishu, in malayalam  yashu ect .[52] However, God is able to understand whom we are talking about and save us no matter what we call the name of the Savior. In addition, Job, from the Old Testament, was saved even though he did not know the name of the Savior.Therefore, although it is true that Jesus is the only way to get into heaven,  you don't necessarily have to know His name to get there.[53] 
16.Divine Concern for the Gentiles.
Though the Old Testament story is mainly the story of the Hebrews’ role in God’s wonderful plan for human redemption, there are numerous glimpses in the sacred literature of the early history of divine interest in, and provisions for, Gentile salvation.[54]
(1) The practice of offering sacrifices as atonement, typically foreshadowing the coming of Jesus, apparently, was a human requirement from the very commencement of history. Abel, son of Adam and Eve, brought the “firstlings of his flock and the fat thereof” (Genesis 4:4). The offering must have been killed; otherwise he could not have presented the fat, which was the best part. Moreover, we are told that “righteous Abel” offered his sacrifice “by faith” (Hebrews 11:4), When Noah departed from the ark after the waters of the flood subsided, he built an altar and offered sacrifices of every clean animal and bird, and Jehovah was pleased with his offering (Genesis 8:20-21). What compelled him to do such?.[55]
Melchizedek, whom Abraham encountered on his return from the rescue of his nephew, was designated by Moses as a “priest of God Most High” (Genesis 14:18). A priest is an appointed servant who officiates in the offering of sacrifices to atone for sin. The  modern notion that Melchizedek was merely the “high god” priest of the Canaanites (e.g., Baal), worshipped in pre-Israelite Jerusalem, is absurd. [56]
(2) The entire world population was one in kind prior to the call of Abraham. He was the first to be designated a Hebrew (Genesis 14:13). The Hebrews were not set apart as a distinct people until the giving of the Law of Moses (Exodus 19:5-6; cf. Ephesians 2:14). It is wholly unrealistic not to recognize that God’s love for the Gentiles was a part of the ancient world.[57]
(3) Gentiles were not required, but had the privilege of, joining the Hebrew family via the proselytization process (cf. Acts 2:10; 13:16). Additionally, there were many instructions in Moses law designed to benefit the strangers (Gentiles) who came among the Israelite people (Leviticus 19:33ff).[58]
(4) The Lord sent Jonah to the Gentiles of Nineveh (Jonah 3:1). Archer said that the theme of the book of Jonah “is that God’s mercy and compassion extend even to the heathen nations on  the condition of their repentance” (1964, 295). Jonah is sometimes called “the first apostle to the Gentiles.”[59]
(5) Four Gentile women were woven into the genealogical fabric of the Messiah Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba in both legal and biological senses (Matthew 1:5-6; Luke 3:31-32).
(6) In addition, the prophets clearly revealed Jehovah’s redemptive concern for the Gentiles, who were to be grafted into the New Testament church on an equal basis with the Jews (Genesis 17:4; 22:18; Psalms 2:8; Isaiah 42:1, 6; 49:6; cf. Romans 11:1ff; Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 2:11ff).[60]
Conclusion

As we have analyzed the above,  though the Scriptures did not clearly  teach that someone who has never heard of Jesus can be saved, rather scripture speaks  only through accepting Jesus Christ as personal savior  we have the salvation and the eternal life. Jesus only the way, truth and life and no one can come to the Father but only through Jesus Christ. So we involved in preaching the gospel to the sinner to be saved. But there are innumerable groups of people who have never heard the Jesus Christ in this cause God has exceptional for those who never heard the hope of the gospel. We know that it is God’s desire that none should perish, but that all should come to repentance this indicates that God also cares for those persons who have not heard the gospel. He has demonstrated this by sending His Son to die in their place. Even in the Old Testament we see that God has extended His grace to the gentiles for their salvation.

The Inward Law which God has set there is something written within the heart, i.e., in the human psyche, that by nature urges one to do what he perceives to be right and refrain from what he feels to be wrong. Because Humanity was created in the image of God this does not have reference to the physical features of humankind, for God is not physical rather, as noted above, it alludes to intangible qualities that were created resident in the spirit of the person. It has been defined as the “natural sense of what is right and wrong.  It is a fact that all of mankind can tell that a creator does exist, because His creation testifies to it. This testimony is universal. Although the people have enough information that God does exist, Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, His eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. The Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law; they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law.  They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.  This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ.
