    How are they saved if they never hear the gospel?

    I'm starting with the assumption that there is a way those who haven't heard the gospel CAN be saved. An additional assumption that's implied is eternal lake of fire for those not in the book of life. I'll give my answer in a following post, but feel free to offer solutions, preferably with...
