Acts 4:12 "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
People today, don't like this absolute. Everything is gray in their worlds and in their minds, there is always an exception. They proclaim there is not absolute truth, ironically the statement itself, in order to be true, has to be absolutely true. The bible says that a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways (James 1:8). Because I insist on believing Scripture as it is written, I get called all sorts of names: rigid, intolerant, bigot, conservative, religious, hateful... Periodically, I will engage other professing Christians - these are actual things people have said to me:
"I believe there are many paths to God. I chose Jesus as mine but you can't say that Tibetan Monks or Mormons, who are better people than most Christians, are going to hell."
"I took Jesus as an insurance policy."
"I accepted Christ on my own terms."
We don't set ourselves up as the arbiter of anyone's salvation, but I'd say hedging your bets in this instance is not going to cut it. When I was a kid, I loved to dive - one thing I learned is that you could not do a dive half way, that was how you got really hurt. Salvation and faith in Christ is the same way, if you try and go half way you are doomed.
