This scripture is hinted at in the video presentation. It should probably be a part of the discussion. What is the basis for salvation provided here?
Romans 2:14-16
(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
But > >
In the video, like I have offered, he seems to say he knows unbelievers who "act like Jesus", but there are Bible church people who say a prayer and think this is enough to get them to Heaven. I think he means that someone acting nice should be able to go to Heaven, if just saying a prayer is enough.
But I do not remember him saying much, if anything, about how God is able to change our character.
Acting can be a show. Also, you don't know what a nice actor or smart talker is doing in secret; but Jesus knows now, and He will know on the day of judgment. And there are people who use their acting to get on the good side of people; they act nice, not because they love people, but so they can use other people for things they want, and for votes.
There are people who are questioning Bible things, so they can change people from voting with Bible believing Republicans, and get them to vote for Democrats who are trying to make it more and more legal to do evil and immoral things. In order to do this, they cast doubt on things like hell and judgment and being able to tell the difference between God's people and people who are not for real. Ones actually claim it is not possible to tell the difference! But Jesus says not to judge
"according to appearance" (John 7:24). So, yes, with Jesus we can tell the difference between people we should trust and ones not to trust.
And the speaker in the video seems very clear how he does not believe there is hell where evil and selfish people will stay in torment forever. So, this is part of his meaning of things he says. I do not know if he is trying to make Bible claiming voters seem like they are wrong to vote Republican. But if people decide there is no hell, right along with this ones can tend to not believe what Bible believers say about right from wrong.
He seems to say he thinks that an unbeliever can get to Heaven if he or she acts like Jesus. After all, he seems to claim, if just saying a prayer can get a Bible believer to Heaven, then surely it should be enough to act like Jesus even if you don't believe in Him. He seems to mean this, from what I heard of what he says in the video.
But God's word is clear that acting is not enough, including the acting of saying a prayer and maybe conforming to some church's culture of how to act. So, in your quoted Romans scripture, Romans 2:14-16, I would say God does not mean Gentiles who do good things as only some gesture while their character is wrong.
After all, God's word says we have been saved
"not by works of righteousness which we have done," in Titus 3:5.
So, it is foolish to depend on myself and what I have gotten myself to do.
The video speaker says he hopes all people will become saved; he says he struggles with the idea that there is hell where people will suffer torment for eternity. He claims to hope that everyone will at some point be saved.
But God's word does not in plain words say this. God's word does say people will be
"punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power," in 2 Thessalonians 1:9.
And people already are suffering in torment . . . in their fear >
"fear involves torment", we have in 1 John 4:18. People's own unloving character makes them weak so they suffer
"torment"!! God is not the One making selfish people suffer.
And God's word says we will
"reap" what we have been sowing. What you reap is so much more than those little seeds you have sown. So, if someone has been sowing selfishly, the person can reap ever more and more misery and destruction . . . torment.
"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." (Galatians 6:7-8)
You will reap more than what you have sown in this life. This is because we have spiritual personalities . . . our souls. And what is spiritual does not go out of existence. The
"corruption" of a selfish person is conscious now, and will be more conscious later, after the person no longer has a physical body to dilute that
"destruction and misery" (Romans 3:16).
