>>People who liver prior to Christ we told to believe in the promise of Christ someday coming. If they trusted in and believed in that future event, then they too are in Heaven. I guess it's debatable whether or not we
can call them "Christians."

>Including the Eqyptians? What about the early homosapiens? We have their bones so we know they existed...

Of course, I believe that the first humans were Adam and Eve. The promise of the Messiah was made to them. So, anyone living after them (which would include everyone) had that promise to believe in. Once the promise was fulfilled in Christ, then the belief changed from a future promise to a past event.
