Good News: Non-Christians, too, are in the Body of Christ!!!

I've heard that before. In fact, I heard it about 5 minutes ago.
Jesus has declared that He will come again once the Gospel He wanted preached to the world would have been preached. Matthew 24:14
Sadly, the brand of gospel preached to the world since centuries ago tell people to BELIEVE so they can be part of the Body of Christ (works-based salvation), INSTEAD of telling them to BELIEVE they are part of the Body of Christ (grace-based salvation).
At least, the Gospel Jesus wanted preached is beginning to be preached, again.

Some, not all, shamelessly espouse their ignorance on TOL. Knowing that, I have difficulty abiding with such.
Your ignorance astounds me.
That's odd, I don't see that worthy of even one Amen.
Both, Nameless.In.Grace and Sammie desire to live under the Law along with the House of Israel. To each his own I guess.
Today, we live in the "Dispensation of Grace" as Paul calls it. We are NOT under Law, but, under God's Grace. Some, like Sammie, choose to live like a Jew under the Law. That's their right/choice. However, they'll end up standing before God's judgment and be judged by their "Works," and suffer eternal damnation instead of eternal life with God.
I believe that the majority of humanity will not receive eternal life, because, they seek their own way and not God's way. Comparatively speaking, a minority of humanity will enter eternal life. The alternative being, the majority being cast into the Lake of Fire, for eternity.

how is a muslim better off rejecting Jesus than never hearing of Jesus?
best case scenario in your view is to never hear of Jesus
Most preachers teach the brand of gospel described by this statement: For one to be saved, he must first believe.
Let's try to analyze that statement.
The first part indirectly says people start out in life APART from Christ because only those in Christ are saved, since there is no other name under heaven given to men for salvation.
The second part indirectly says that believing is requisite to being made part of the Body of Christ.
In other words, the statement is indirectly stating that unless one believes, he remains APART from Christ. Glaringly, the statement requires one yet APART from Christ to do that which he cannot do. Why? Because Christ Himself said that APART from Him man can do NOTHING.
But sadly, this is the brand of gospel the world has known for centuries. And the preachers preaching this brand of gospel expect Jesus to come soon.
The Apostle Paul writes about the "True Gospel" for today. You will find the "True Gospel" in the books of Romans through Philemon. If you reject "Paul's Gospel" that he received from the ascended Lord Jesus Christ, you will miss out on God's Grace and eternal life.
OP remained uncontested.

You teach false doctrine and a false gospel. (small g) Your beliefs will lead you to judgment and eternal damnation.
And of course, you jest?
NOPE.
It's the Holy Spirit Who determines whether a specific Muslim or Hindu has grown up into such a spiritual stature, as the Ethiopian eunuch, where he must be told about Christ. The HS will then send a Philip to him.
Sadly, you don't yet understand this, w2g, despite the number of times you'd been told.

sad but true.
Interestingly enough, your scripture defends Samie. [emoji848]
