The answer would be no - they will not. The first point to consider is that according to Christianity, there are no 'good people'. Scripture supports the concept of the sinful nature of man quite emphatically; to quote just a small selection of verses: "There is not a righteous man on earth
who does what is right and never sins." - Ecclesiastes 7:20 "All have turned aside,
they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one." - Psalm 14:3 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
It is due to man's sinful nature that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross became necessary, that the debt of man's sin may be paid in full. Only those who believe in and follow the teachings of Christ will find salvation: "Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." - John 6:29 "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."" - John 14:21 Add to this the first of the Ten Commandments: "You shall have no other gods before me" - Exodus 20:3 and in the views of Christianity it becomes clear that only those who believe in and follow God will be spared by Him.

The most important factor which has been ascribed to people converting to Christianity was the promise of salvation in the afterlife.
