Katzpur said:Actually, so do I. I just believe it will be a very relative few, and that these will be those souls who, having received a perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ through the Holy Ghost, nevertheless deny Him. These will reject Christ at every conceivable opportunity, even after having come to know He is God's Son and their only hope for salvation. Of course, unlike Eastern Orthodoxy, Mormonism teaches that there will be a time between death and the resurrection when those who did not have the chance to hear of Christ during their lifetimes will have that opportunity. So for us, the salvation of good people who spent their lives as non-Christians is not quite as cast in concrete as it is for fundamentalist Christians. It also strikes me as being a far more just way for God to judge mankind.
I'm not sure if that's true... Eastern Orthodoxy, from what I have read, teaches that souls can undergo metanoia after death just as they can before it. Otherwise, what's the point in praying for their salvation?
