What about those who have never heard the gospel?
freeman4:
All will be given the chance to be a Son and or Daughter of God. In Rev Ch 20: we are told that the rest or the dead will be resurrected after the 1000 years are finished. That will be those who have not had a chance at salvation and they will be resurrected to a physical state and given the opportunity to accept Gods way and then be changed to His Spiritual sons and or daughters.

I fully disagree with your assumption "not much needs to be spent on how we both hear the gospel, and receive His salvation".
For isn't it the fact that a false doctrine of salvation was introduced during the apostle's era of ministry which has resulted in making it true that very few ever find the gate into God's kingdom? Your assumption is what you've heard is the same as the message for salvation those men stated. I don't think so in regard to this pertinent fact. In Jn. 16:8, the Lord says that the objective of the gospel message is for the sole purpose of convicting the world of guilt in regard to sin AFTER the fact of his crucifixion. However in this era the objective of the message for salvation is the opposite. Stating that it is only by Jesus having been crucified; guilt relative to sin has already been resolved. You need to spend your time resolving this dichotomy before you concern yourself with everybody else.

Acts 16:29-31
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
29 Then the jailer called for lights, rushed in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he escorted them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
He did not say believe of but on or in depending on your translation. You must understand the deference.

According to Jesus Christ there are only a very few persons that ever find the gate into God's kingdom. "Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and all the others in his house." Acts 16:32 What do you think they said?
