[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PPs who say the Bible doesn't say unbaptized people go to Hell, explain this:

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)[/quote]

Where does that verse mention baptism?  [/quote]

Really?

You need to be baptized to fully accept Jesus, no? That's a big part of it, right?

So if you have to go through Jesus to get to God, it would stand to reason that you need to accept Jesus. Accepting Jesus requires baptism, right? [/quote]

Where does the Bible say you need to be baptized to fully accept Jesus?  In fact, where is the explanation of this verse?  Anything could be "through Jesus."  [/quote]

Ok, sure.

But those who don't engage with Jesus at all--aka Jews, non-Christians--don't go to heaven, right? [/quote]

In Christianity, Heaven is full communion with Jesus Christ for all eternity... why would a non-believer want that?  It wouldn’t make sense for someone with no relationship with Jesus to even want that.[/quote]

... because the alternative, according to Christians, is hell? Hell is not supposed to be a pleasant place.[/quote]

And what does the Bible tell us about Hell?  Very very little.  Perhaps it is simply the absence of God, or the end of your existence altogether.[/quote]

Jews get to spend eternity with G-D but not through Jesus. G-d is amazing like that he created many paths to salvation. [/quote]

Um nope Jesus is the only way to God.  John 14:6

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus the Way to the Father
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”[/quote]
