Q,
Is everyone going to be saved/ go to heaven? What about those who haven't heard the gospel?
A.
No t everyone will go to heaven. The ones who go to heaven are people who have repented of their sins and asked to be cleansed, believe that Jesus died on the cross for their sins (John 3:16), and that Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven. (John 14:6). God is evident in everything and in Romans 1:18-25, Paul reveals that everyone has some basic knowledge about God. They have the choice to believe in Jesus or not.

Q:
How were people in the Old Testament saved?
People in the Old Testament were saved by faith just like in today's world. Isaiah 1:18 and Ezekiel 18:26-28.
------------
Q:
Is Jesus the only way to heaven?
In John 14:6, Jesus answered: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
So, Jesus is the only way to heaven.

Q:
Will works save me?
No. In Ephesians 2:8, Paul says: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." In Romans 3:23, we also find that "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."Sin is what keeps us from heaven and a personal relationship with God. When we repent of our sins and ask Him to come into us, he cleanses us and removes all of that sin that serves as a blockade between us and God. In James 2:14-26, people often
misinterpret these verses by saying that we need to have deeds to be saved. However, James is saying that when we accept Christ into our lives, we need to act differently from the world.

Q: Can a Christian lose his salvation?
No. In 1 John 5:13, John states, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." Eternal life lasts forever. As a child of God, you inherit eternal life when you repent of your sins and turn to Him. That means that you have eternal life the moment you are saved. You can't lose it because it is eternal! However, this doesn't mean that you can act like the world. Jesus talks about us being the light in a dark world. If we profess to be Christians, we need to act like it.
