As Paul said in Romans, “For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.” But as Nick, pointed out, I also believe that those who are not aware of right and wrong aren’t sentenced to an after-life in Hell, since they were never able to choose. For the rest of us, though, there is only one way into heaven—acceptance of Christ Jesus as personal Lord & Savior. As He stated, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father, except through Him. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Eph. 2:8 & 9) Being the “good Southern Baptist” that I am, likewise, I believe in the concept of Original Sin.
