Question:

Are all religions valid, in that they will bring salvation if the people truly believe what they are taught in those religions?

Answer:

No. Any religion that does not have Jesus as the sole means of salvation, through faith and faith alone is a false religion. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." [John 14:6]

Therefore all the major faiths: Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Catholics, Mormons, are all condemned to Hell forever, if they die believing and trusting in their false religion, that does not have for a gospel, salvation by faith and faith alone in Jesus!  They must bow before Christ and Repent of their sins, Believe who Jesus claimed to be, and to Submit to His Lordship in order to be saved.

Since nearly one-half of the world claims no religion at all (atheists), and the Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus make up the majority of those claiming a religion, plus adding the Jews, the Catholics, and all the other Christian cults and liberal denominations, then you have a very, very, small percentage of the human race being saved.  Now did I come up with this idea myself? No, Jesus said that there were two roads in life, and the majority are on the wide road that leads to destruction (hell), and only a "few" are on the narrow road that leads to life (heaven).
