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.

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

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?

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

Is that an Armstrong teaching?

Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

That is all the non elect doug.

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

So, are you saying that only those who never heard get their chance before the throne, or does this extend to everyone?

If the former, then why evangelize? How in the world could the foolishness of preaching compare to the sight of God on His throne? Only a fool would stand before God and say "Hmmm, my choice is to be in heaven with you or to burn for all eternity in hell? That's a tough one." Also, if the former, does this only extend to those who never heard, or does it also include anyone who had to put up with a less than stellar Gospel witness?

If the latter, and everyone gets a chance before the throne to choose heaven and hell, then you really are a Universalist, even if you don't think you are.

Another non-Calvinist with a "Plan B".
