New column —> The Real Reason Robert Jeffress Didn’t Belong in Jerusalem https://thebea.st/2rHM3e7?source=twitter&via=mobile … via @thedailybeast
By unevangelized, do you mean people who have never heard the Gospel? If so, I don’t think this column addresses that one way or the other (nor do Jeffress’s past controversial comments—as far as I know).

I think that's what most would mean by it. And looking back into the source material, I don't see a statement by Jeffress where he rules out salvation for the unevangelized, only those who have consciously rejected Jesus.
-
But your point of departure was Kyle Griffin's summary of Jeffress: "all non-Christians—including people who are Jewish—will not go to heaven."
-
Now there are different ways to nuance it, but to my mind "all-non Christians" includes majority if not all of the unevangelized, depending on what the term "Christian" means in this context. And it seems like you build from there to the orthodox view. Does that make sense?
-
I realize you probably have a word count to come in under, but I would have liked some acknowledgement that there are different ways the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus can play out, and everyone who isn't obviously Christian not going to heaven is just one of them.
