Muslims in Heaven?

Dear Victorious,

I've read that you believe the only people who will ever see God face to face, who will be in heaven one day - are the ones who believe in Christ. So does that mean that you are certain there will be no Muslims, Hindu or Jews in heaven?

Dear Theophil,

Jesus said that He is the only way. I accept that as truth. But I also know the difference between what Jesus said and man-made religions. It is possible for someone to be born into the Muslim faith, for example, and still choose Christ. It is possible or someone to live in Islamic tradition, and still choose Christ.

I don't know who will be in heaven or who won't. I believe only God knows that for sure. So I accept the fact that anyone I see who looks like they are Muslim or Jew or anything else may be viewed by God another way. And at the end of the day, it is God's view that counts. Not yours or mine.
