What does that say to you about your own conviction that you are in possession of the Truth?
Also, if you believe that Christianity is the truth, how do you reconcile your belief in your god's acceptance of sincere searching with the idea that unless an adherent accepts Christ they are damned? If they've never heard the Word preached and testified, can they be punished? And if they can still get into heaven, doesn't that diminish Christ's role in the theology?
Christ is the savior. Anyone who is saved is saved through him. If someone is seeking the truth, then he is seeking him. They may not have heard of him, but he is still the one by whom they are saved.
