There Is No Second Chance

Question:

Does a nonbeliever get a "second chance" after death?

Answer:

In short, no. Someone who was invincibly ignorant of God and would have believed had he known better would not be culpable for his rejection of God and faith. As such, once he obtained the proper knowledge of God at death, he would instantly understand and embrace God. If, on the other hand, someone had truly rejected God and faith, then there would be no point to a “second chance.”
