> The overwhelming majority of people who have ever lived are now lost to history. Are they not worthy of salvation? Of course! But twice in your comment you seem to be pushing back against points I didn't make. :) > Christians believe in baptism by desire for those who were never formally baptized Slight correction to the above: it's true that many branches of Christianity believe this, but definitely not all. > The idea salvation can only occur if you were lucky enough to have your genealogy recorded is far removed from mainstream Christianity. Of course! I don't know of anyone - including those that believe in proxy baptisms for the dead - that would agree with this idea, do you?
