Do you believe that your faith is the only right one? Can people that are not Christians go to heaven?

There's actually a verse in the bible that speaks that if people did not have a chance about hearing about God's word, they will be judged based on their character

Yes I know of it bit what about the others is what I was asking about.
-
The Bible says his faith is right. He knows the Bible is right because God says so. He knows God is right because it says so in the Bible.

And the wheels on the bus go round and round.

The circular logic employed by many Christians in defense of their faith.

This is actually an idea I've discussed with others. And we came up with a pretty interesting, maybe far fetched idea of how that might be solved. Those who have other beliefs will pass away and show up at the gates of Heaven for judgement. If they have lived innocent lives as well as helped the needy, avoided doing negative or adulterous things, and are worthy of another chance, then they will meet Jesus and he will say something along the lines of "Hello my child. This may be all a but shocking or even confusing to you. But you have a choice. You can join me in heaven and live a perfect sinless life while finally learning the Christian faith with complete confidence of it's truth, or you can choose to deny me and serve the rest of eternity in Hell." We also came up with the idea of a sort of "realm" where those individuals go to in order to transition from their previous belief to the next. A very good question that I could even ask my own preacher.

Ahh, more Christians improvising and making stuff up as they go to fit their beliefs.

I like the idea but would like to so you another, if I can. There is a story in the bible that I think explains it but people have not made the connection. The Tower of Babel is a tower in a city that people tried to build up to haven. God saw this and realized that if they did not speak the same language they could not make this happen. So he made them all speak a different language and scattered them across the world. Now this is where my theory comes in. When he he changed there language would he not give himself a new name in each of them languages? All these religions are the same but are just called something different by others.

You have an incredibly interesting point, but the only problem is that the other religions have different religious books with completely different teachings and beliefs. It's very possible that he could have created other names, but ultimately no matter the language, it all would have translated to "God", in which many cases it does. But I don't think that story works. Here is something rather compelling and very enlightening to read incase you wanted further information and commentary on the topic you brought up. http://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/5927/why-does-god-scatter-the-people-in-genesis-11

Interesting.

Wrong.

More so humorous than true. The depiction of God in the video is typical of how someone would bash the idea of God to Christians. Anyone who truly denies God and the Bible passionately will go to Hell. God is more forgiving than that. I think he has other plans for those who were never exposed to the Bible or were simply surrounded by other teachings and ideas and never had the opportunity to learn about God.
