How Many Ways to Heaven???

There was recently an article on the front page of the OWH that says that 'religious tolerance up'. It says that the majority of people believe there are many ways to get to heaven (just like what Oprah is telling everyone). I know what I believe, that Christ is THE way, and the ONLY way. BUT, I have a question. What happens to folks that are brought up in a foreign land that were never given the gospel? It's hard for me to fathom that our loving God will condemn those that do not know better. My wife argues that if we had been raised as a hindu or some other religion, that that's what we'd believe, not knowing any better. It's hard to argue. Have you ever studied this and can you provide any insight?

Many Thanks

Thanks for setting this up Jeff. I hope it allows us to share our beliefs, and help each of us grow to be who God intends us to be.
