**Those who never had a chance to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ in this life shall be given a chance in the hereafter to acknowledge the Savior and accept His saving sacrifice on their behalf. **
How could this happen when a particular (individual) judgment happens at the moment of death and the general judgment at the end of times (when Christ separates the sheep from the goats.) Won't it be too late when we die?
The Lord created each one of us with a hunger for Him. Whether we know who "He" is or not. It's how we respond to that hunger. We who have been told about Jesus Christ have a much higher burden than those in the remote mountains of South America or the deserts of Africa who've never heard the name yet long just the same. D'you know what I mean?
Missed your post. What makes you so sure that ultimate judgment comes at the moment of death? If that were the case, what of the pre-crucifixion who had to wait until the resurrection to experience that ultimate saving act themselves? Billions of souls held in abeyance until the Savior completed His eternal and infinite work upon the cross. I don't think it happens immediately to us who are post-crucifixion either. I always understood the ultimate judgment to come at the end of time. What happens in the meantime is a time of peace and rest or dismay and regret but it is not the ultimate judgment. What I mean by that is we return to the presence of the Father but we don't partake of the glory of the Father and the Son until the ultimate judgment. In the interim, some may have a chance to accept the Savior that they didn't have on earth.
