Whilst salvation is contingent on response to the gospel (Romans
10:12-15),

Whilst salvation is contingent on response to the gospel (Romans 10:12-15),
allowance is also made for those who do not have the Law in that they will
be judged by what their conscience tells them (Romans 2:14-16).

As there is no excuse for not knowing God (Romans 1:20); there is no excuse
for not living up to one's conscience (Romans 2:14-16).

Cheers.

Crap!

The bible says that sin is not passed down to the children ......

(Deuteronomy 24:16) - "Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor
shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death
for his own sin."

(Ezekiel 18:20) - "The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the
punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the
punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will
be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself."

Second: The Bible, God's Word

Crap!

The bible is not "God's Word"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Bible ...[is] ... a collection of human responses to God (very human,
some of them all too human), which we are at liberty to use in the process
of formulating our own individual, unique response to God. We don't do that
by imitating these responses slavishly. I mean God, if he exists, doesn't
want innumerable clones of the apostle Paul. He wants us to respond to him,
each of us in our own unique way. And we can use the Bible to do that, but
we don't do it by obeying it slavishly and blindly. - Peter Cameron
"Heretic" (Doubleday; Sydney: 1994) p. 195

Non one goes to heaven without knowing the Lord Jesus Christ

Crap!

First: no one is without sin in their life, "ALL have sinned and come
short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

true

Sin is inherent in our lives

because of the sin of disobedience of our father Adam.

What do you mean by "inherent"?

Lu 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain
priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the
daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Lu 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the
commandments and ordinances of the Lord , blameless.

1CO 15:34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for
there are some who are ignorant of God--I say this to your shame.

JN 5:14 Later Yeshua found him at the temple and said to him, "See,
you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."
The man went away and told the Jews that it was Yeshua who had made him
well.

Second: The Bible, God's Word, says that the law is written on everyone's
heart and God is the one who calls not us (Acts 17:26-27). Therefore no
one is excusable.

Ac 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein , seeing that
He is Lord of Heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with
hands;
Ac 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed
any thing, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Ac 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on
all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before
appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Ac 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after
Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us:
Ac 17:28 For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain
also of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
Ac 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to
think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven
by art and man's device.
Ac 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
commandeth all men every where to repent:
Ac 17:31 Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge
the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof
He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from
the dead.
Ac 17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some
mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

"the law is written on everyone's heart" ?

Non one goes to heaven without knowing the Lord Jesus Christ for He said;
"Iam the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but
by Me" (John 14:6). Also there is no other name given among men whereby
we
must be saved.

Halleluia

The important question here is for you. Have you been saved and born
again (John 3:3,5) so that you are certain of your eternal destiny?

Yes, I have.

So, from what you have submitted as a theological premise,
would you agree that babies born of unbelieving parents will not be
saved in early death, since these bear the onus of inherited sin?
