Quote by: Halofan48  Doesn't that mean we have to acknowledge that Jesus Christ was the son of a god? Therefore we must be a christian in order to go to heaven. |
You have to acknowledge that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, yes. You have to believe in Him, if you want him to come to you.
The bible says that each of us are gifted with the Holy Spirit within us. It tries to help us find God, if we listen to it.

Quote by: Halofan48 This can be considered contradictory to your previous comment. It all depends on what makes a person evil in the eyes of your god. For, if being an atheist is evil, or being something else that's considered evil that might not be to the rest of us like _________ (fill in the blank), then even if we called out to Jesus as you said, we might not be saved. |
Yes, even if you call out to Jesus, you may not be saved, depending on what you've done in your life. An athiest can go to heaven, and a Christian can go to hell.
If the athiest is a good person, a loving person, I believe they will come to know Jesus in the afterlife.
