Faith comes from hearing the message
By making salvation contingent upon faith in Christ, God makes salvation conditioned upon hearing the message. For as Paul notes, "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?" Rom 10:14 Consequently the faith in Christ the Bible speaks of is not simply a faith in a "Jesus" whom one fabricates in their own mind, as some today would have it, nor faith in the Islamic version of a "Jesus" whom they declare is not the Son of God, but rather faith in the Biblical Christ. And consequently, one cannot be saved apart from hearing the message. Thus Cornelius was told, "Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved." Acts 11: 13,14
