I have heard others and have heard myself, recounting cruelties and falsehoods committed in boyhood as if they were no concern of the present speaker's, and even with laughter. But mere time does nothing either to the fact or to the guilt of sin. The guilt is not washed out by time but by repentence and the blood of Jesus Christ.

And what of those people of the world who have never heard of this man and the need to repent? Are they to be sentenced to perdition for not knowing that there was ever declared to have been a christ?

That makes a difference.

This is the point at which I become frustrated by my ignorance. I would really like to see a citation in the Bible. I'll see what I can find online. Your quote is far from being specific as it relates to salvation. It would be nice to see it in context.
