During my freshman year at Southwestern Adventist University in Texas, I took a Bible class called “Life and Teachings of Jesus,” taught by Rob Sheppard.
One day Sheppard asked, “Have you ever heard that Ellen White wrote that there will be people in heaven that have not heard the name of Jesus?” He then said, “Let me show you in Scripture where that can be found.” He opened the Bible and read Matt. 25:31–46 and explained that the final judgement is based on how we have treated our brothers and sisters.
