I think an analogy of a sinking ship and eternal damnation are two
different things here. My point is that God gives everyone a chance to
be saved before they die...whether it be from the mouth of a missionary,
or from Him dealing directly with their conscience.

It would be against God's Word to place someone in hell and they had NO
opportunity to be saved. Maybe they didn't take the opportunity, maybe
they only had one opportunity, but I still believe everyone has a
chance.

I could be wrong, and if I am, please send scripture. It's always been
my understanding that God gives every man a choice, and that the only
way to be saved is through the salvation plan of water baptism in Jesus
name and being sealed with the spirit of promise.

Maybe there is another way to be saved and I've missed it...
