I can only say what my religion teaches: 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. Those who have the chance in this life to know the Savior, and reject it, will not have that chance. We have an obligation to take the gospel to all the world but the Lord does not punish those who never have the chance to know it in this life.

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?
That sounds like something I can comprehend

This statement presumes that God is not in control of who hears the gospel and who does not. Do you not think that God has the power and capacity to make his Gospel known to all he desires??
You imply that God was not able to "get to" these people while they lived so His only recourse is to get to them in death.

Have not all sinned? Are you saying because of ignorance, men will be excused their sin??
That's a nice idea of your religious teacher--that in the hereafter ignorant people will be given a 2nd chance.
However, I'd like to see any biblical support for it.
