Yes.
If this person is in heaven, this means they truely repented and gave themselves up to the Lord. "Your child" was given a chance. They walked away, and that was the choice they made, heaven or hell, they choose.
Everyone makes mistakes in their lives. If repented they are forgiven. God's love is unconditional, he won't reject you into heaven if you truely are "saved".

Hmmm.... so now we are switching saying a man raped my pretend "child"? Oh ok, I guess I'm incapable of understanding what you really were trying to argue about. Anyways... yes, I could live with that, for the reasons I already stated. I do trust God's judgement, if the person is in heaven, its because they deserve to be there. If my "child" is in Hell, than they made that decision thereselves.
As for your Native American statement. How are you so sure they didn't worship the same God we do, only in other forms as well. Besides, God states in his Bible that he is all around you. Just look, and you shall see, of course it won't be so obvious. However, most of you need evidence that you can conduct experiments on, so I won't bother trying to explain why I think God's all around.

I would still have to say yes, now that you reworded it a bit more.
All Christians should put God first in their lives, if it is any other way, than they really out living but what the Bible is saying. Of course, being a 15 year old with nothing but 11 years of a public school education, I should really know what the Bible is saying, right?

This reply also goes along with REI's last post.
So many may believe that you have to believe in more than just that he exists, but since he is reveiled to people like me, I would have no excuse as to why I don't believe in such things on my Judgement day.
"Mainstream christianity teaches that salvation is through faith in Christ. Name a single native american tribe who worshiped anything like Jesus. As for whether they worship the same God, the religions are generally utterly different (and often animist/polytheist)."-REI
Well, that doesn't mean they might not have . Anyways, with so many branches of Christian religion,how could anyone know if what is being taught if exactly right. I'm sure on my Judgement day, God isn't going to say, "Well, Katie... I think you'll go to hell just because you're not Catholic."
For the Native Americans, how could God expect them to know more than he ever reveiled to them? Of course, I don't know where I'm trying to go with this.

Not quite.
I already said it as simply as I could, and I knew I would get someone to twist it around a bit.
Once again, I think that since God has reveiled himself to me, and I do have the chance to grab hold of a Bible, that I should accept Christ as my Savior, throughfore, Salvation through Christ.
But for people that don't have the chance to know this, I think God would allow them in, just for the fact that despite that they didn't have anything to lead them into Salvation through Christ, they still believed in him.... hmm... I hardly understand that myself. This is just my humble opinion. I tried explaining it, if you didn't get it this second time, I'm sure a third time wouldn't help much more.
