Do you believe in a path to salvation for non-Christians?  If so, is said path limited to select groups (i.e. Jews) or is it available to all people following physical death?

It says in Acts 4:10-12 (English Standard Version)

 10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. 11 This Jesus[a] is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men[c] by which we must be saved.”

One must put their faith in Jesus to be saved. This includes even Jews.

JCL, I'm curious.
Do you believe, that the Muslims would be saved? They believe in Jesus as a prophet, but not as the son of God. Is it enough???

It's not enough to believe that He (Yeshua) was just a prophet. You must believe He is God's son. When Jesus was on trial before the religious leaders, Matthew 26:59-64 (ESV) explains


59 Now the chief priests and the whole council[h] were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, 60 but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward 61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’” 62 And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” 63 But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” 64 Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
 
Also look at Romans10:9-10 and Acts 5 for further details.


Hmmm, I'm not convinced.

Even if I believe that Jesus is the son of the God. I mean, the Bible just says "believing in Jesus". So, even if I have a quite liberal interpretation of the Bible (yep I believe everyone can be saved), even in the conservative interpretation, Muslims should be able to be saved, since they believe in Jesus.

I'm not sure how the passage JCL cited allows for Muslims being saved, especially under a conservative interpretation.

JCL, how often do you think communion should be taken?

Please forgive me, but what is your denomination again?

I think he's AoG but I could be wrong.
