Don't you think that since "with God all things are possible" that
He could easily prevent someone from dying if He knew that they would
indeed follow thru with Jesus name baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost
and belief in one God ?

......the Bible says *we* should judge not, .......but if we are merely
quoting what the Word of God says, it is not us judging, it is God -
".......the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the
last day."  John 12:48

If we quote God's Word, and *His* Word says that unless you
do "such and such" you are not saved, it is *not* us making that
judgement, it is the Word of God, *not* our words.

And since God can't lie, if He has *already* said in His Word that
*except* you repent, believe in one God, be baptized in Jesus name,
and be filled with His Spirit, you can't enter heaven ......how could
He allow someone to be saved without obeying what He *already*
said is required ?  ......For Him to do so would mean that He was
not being truthful in what He already said, and we know that is not so.

So I think that instead of God going against His own Word He would
instead prevent someone from dying if He knew that they would
indeed follow thru with Jesus name baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost
and belief in one God, and it would be very easy for God to do so,
*that* would show God's love and mercy in doing that, love and mercy
can't change what He already said is required for salvation, but His
love and mercy *can* heal and/or preserve a person's life and health
giving them the chance to obey what He already said is required if
He sees that would would indeed do so if given that chance.
