We can only believe that if some pagan in outback aborigine land responds to the law of God in his heart, that God will make sure that a missionary is somehow taken to that area so that the message of Christ can be proclaimed to him/her.

Or, we can believe that if some pagan in outback aborigine land responds to the law of God in his heart, that God will forgive ignorance of Christ when it is not the fault of the aborigine.

Either answer would be an assumption. We have proposed 2 choices:
1. missionary will be sent if pagan responds to law of God in heart.
2. God will provide forgiveness in the absence of belief in Christ if there is no way to bring the message of Christ to a never before evangelized area.

Neither is an indisputable fact. Both are assumptions.

I think We agree, however, on this assumption: God will do something. Am I correct?

If God intend for the pagan to hear the gospel he will..I have a God that can do anything do you?

Dave you need to read Romans 1,2 and 3...that will answer your question...NO one can keep the law of the Jews or the knowlege of God in his heart perfectly (the only way you could get into heaven) That is why God sent a Savior that COULD keep the law of the Jews and the laws of the conscience PERFECTLY .. He could then stand in our place and take our just punishment for us

No Dave there are no "second changes"
