Mr. Stewart says, "No-one is going to hell if they are good people

>>Singh and he was not Catholic - all good people (if

1)The bible states the following:
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Upon death everybody returns the Father who created us. Men and Women were all created by Him regardless of the religion they practice.

2)Reading Luke chapter 16:19-31

Furthermore in Luke 16:26 talking about the beggar and the rich man it says,
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: So that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

God is very clear about where you wind up after death and used Lazarus and the rich man as an example. Those who are saved under the blood of Christ will be seperated by a gulf or chasm. One must follow the Word and not the traditions of men for man is corrupt and mortal, but God's Word is truth and eternal.
