I didn't mean to debate this issue, but since the question is raised already, I'll clarify and offer certain clues and my stance on this issue.

First, I do not share the same idea of 'salvation' that is mainstream and do not believe that salvation is an abstract unquantifiable experience that is only promissory.

I do not believe that if God has a plan to help humanity, that he necessarily have to put a shout out there all at once in order to reach everybody.

I believe that the basic concept of salvation is the peace within the human and the attending effect on the way we live,considering every other persons. While a lot of things are debatable in the Christian world, the message is bigger than Christianity and the offer of salvation as evident in the post itself is NOT all about a heaven somewhere but maximizing life here and now.

"The kingdom of God is amidst us and not over there or up there"

I will be making some other posts that I believe are progressive in understanding and deviates a little from common religious rituals unto the most vital thing - humans relationship.

The message is a seed, and has to be planted somewhere from which it grows.

But I should state that I also believe that NOBODY will be lost dead or alive, eventually. (if you believe there could be an afterlife) God is love and not just one of the definitions of love. Love is God.
