Assuming the story of the good Samaritan was literal, did the good Samaritan enter paradise? He was of another religion. Under the assumption he remained in the other religion would he have gone to be with Jesus? If that story was duplicated today and 2 non Christians passed someone suffering and someone from another religion showed great compassion, would the non Christian go to heaven? We are taught and it does state biblically Jesus is the only way.(I am a Christian myself)

Paul says it well, that "since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead." Meaning, every person subject to God's creation has what they need to choose their eternal fate even without knowledge of Jesus by name. But are saved rather by His knowledge of them, as it is also written: "but then I shall know just as I also am known."
