Ok, I think I understand the second part. So Jesus' death removed the punishment for all rather than it being conditional of his acceptance, and its rejection itself that creates new sin and that, rather than original sin, results in punishment. Thanks for clearing that up.

I still think its not right to punish an essentially good man simply because he doesn't accept god and Jesus. Based on my admittedly flawed understanding, Ghandi, who pretty much anyone would say was a good man, would end up in hell, or whatever concept of hell is accepted, because he was hindu and didn't accept Christ as the savior.
