"...tell me which is more Christian: A belief that God picked a small number of certain people for no particular reason to be saved...or a belief that God has given the same opportunity to everyone?"

First off, you misrepresent our position. God picked "a small number", and "for no particular reason", are both indicative of this.

We believe that God has selected a huge number of lost sinners from every people, tribe, and tongue in accordance with His will, in order to satisfy His desires, and to offer praise and glory forever to Him.

Can you truly, with a straight face, tell me that God has given the same opportunity to everyone? I wouldn't want to misrepresent your position, but how is it that some poor savage who will never hear the Gospel has the same opportunity as you or I?

Sorry, if that's your view then I did misrepresent, but not deliberately.

The Great White throne judgement in Revelation 20 is where those who have never heard the gospel get their chance.
