Salvation

Question: why should where you are born have such an impact on your chances of being saved? It's not fair. Someone born in Rochester Minnesota is a lot more likely to be saved than someone born in downtown Baghdad.

You know, I honestly don't know. It's my opinion that the critical thing is rejection of knowledge, not lack of knowledge. Someone deep in the Amazon jungle who has never heard of Jesus is in a completely different spot than someone in Rochester, Minnesota who has had ample opportunity to learn of Christ, but consciously rejected Him.

But again, I honestly have no idea.

The key thing, I believe, is to rest on the belief that God is, among many things, perfectly just. No matter the ultimate outcome, whatever it may be, we are called to believe it'll not be arbitrary and capricious, but perfectly just.
