What happens to people who have never heard of the gospel or Jesus when they die? Where do they go?

The Lord said before He comes back, all will have heard the gospel. In fact, this may be the clearest statement in Scripture about what must happen before Jesus can return. He, Himself told us, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14).

Romans 1:19-20 - Because that which can be known of God, is shown to them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
Meaning, none will be able to claim they never heard the saving gospel of Christ and "didn't know".

How do you think tribes or groups of people that are secluded from the rest of the world and follow a distinct religion and have no internet will hear the gospel? Do you think they will all eventually become a part of society or something?@LadyGrace

@MightyLion God keeps His word and he'll make a way, where there seems to be no way. He tells us that without question, all shall hear the gospel. He will keep his word. It's hard to believe that with modern technology, world-wide evangelists and all, these days, the gospel has not reached everyone, already. We have missionaries who have gone to remote corners of the world, to spread the gospel. During the 7 yr. Tribulation period, which comes after the rapture, scripture tells us that 144,000 evangelists shall preach the gospel.
