I'm both cheering your post for its eloquent good intentions...

I'd suggest that there will be many, from atheist to Muslim, who find themselves existing in this new creation that will be very surprised that they are there because of how God acted through Jesus Christ.
...and objecting to it because this notion:

There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.
...is a pernicious doctrine in the hands of zealots, who use it to justify a God who practices eternal torment as well as accusing non-believers of turning their backs on a divine call they never received.

I understand your position, GDR, and that's why you got a cheer.
