Do we have a situation here where the truly repentant Khmer who converted will go to Heaven?

No, they're Protestants. Ha ha, just a joke.

I don't begrudge God saving anyone, anywhere, anytime. No one deserves salvation. If He chose to choose these Khmer as one of His, what gripe do I have?

Will their victims go to Hell forever?

Why would you presume such a thing? I am not capable of answering this question. God saves whom He pleases.

Do you think it likely that some of the 2 million victims might have converted to Christianity had the Khmer not murdered them?

Possibly. But that has little to do with where their souls are now. I am not a fundamentalist who believe one must profess the name "Jesus" in order to go to Heaven. (If one is prevented by good cause from knowing the Gospel.) That is the normative way of salvation, but if God chooses to save these victims, that is His concern.

I thought humans, not God, chose salvation or damnation with their free will.

I don't, but isn't that what Scriptures say will happen if you are not redeemed?

I don't follow that. If they died without accepting Jesus, doesn't the N.T. say they're going to Hell forever?

I am not a fundamentalist who believe one must profess the name "Jesus" in order to go to Heaven. (If one is prevented by good cause from knowing the Gospel.)

Does Scripture make such an exception, or is that your opinion?
