One time in Bible class somebody asked this, and the teacher made a good point.
"Even if somebody had never heard of Christianity or Christ, anything like that, they would still notice everything around them and ask 'How was all this created? Where did it come from?' And know there was a God."
I agree with this. Unless it's somebody from a third world country, I doubt they would have never even heard of Christianity. And, your good deeds can't outweigh sin, no matter how good of a person you are. Only Christ can.
I don't mean for this to be offensive to anybody, if you do find it offensice. This is what I believe.

I believe that you are only saved if you accept Jesus as your savior.

You cannot be a Christian by just being a good person, you must have a personal relationship with Jesus.

I've heard it explained like this once: "God is a just Judge. Now, suppose someone tortured you and killed off everyone you love. But that person says to God, 'Hey, I may have done this, but I've also done a lot of good in my life. Doesn't that let me off the hook?' You would want justice, wouldn't you? If God let that person go, just because they had "done some good", He wouldn't really be just, would He?"
Romans 1:20 says, "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his external power and Godhead; SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE." God makes Himself known to all, and He promises we will find Him, if we just look (Jeremiah 29:13).
Besides, if salvation were based on works, there wouldn't have been any reason for Christ to die. We wouldn't /need/ salvation.

I believe so. Even if they didn't know it, they would be following the Christian lifestyle.

No.
Jesus has said himself that you have to ACCEPT him in order for him to save you.

It's like Jesus saying "here! I got you this present."
And then that person going around telling people how happy they are that they are going to get that present and buying stuff to go with it. But since they never actually accepted the present they aren't saved.
