Guys, thanks for the answer, but I'm still quite confused.
Now, what about salvation for the ppl BEFORE Christ was born and was NOT

History tells us the Egyptians, Chinese, Indians and Chaldeans already had a
civilization then and the population could total up to easily a few million.
Did THEY go to hell with no chance of redemption?
