Exactly. When all the creatures of Narnia come up to the Stable Door . . . they all have to look into Aslan's face. Then they either love him (even if they are afraid of him at the same time) and come through the Door -- or they hate and fear him, and disappear into his shadow that streams out to the left side of the Door.

Remember that scene well. And as Lewis said elsewhere, "there will be surprises." As with Emeth the Calormen.

As Jesus said, when He cured the Roman centurion's slave, "Many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth." (Mt. 8:11-12, RSV)

To me, the bottom line is that we don't know whom God has chosen for the Kingdom, because He doesn't want us to know.
