The Bible says there are no second chances, and if you choose to be willfully ignorant of it, then so be it. You trust God will do something He said He will not do, so I don't know what to tell you.
There are not even any first "chances."
God saves by His sovereign grace making Jesus "choice" in our heart, just like He did for Lydia, and Saul of Tarsus.
It is an unscriptural myth that salvation cannot occur after death.
IMO, this proves you wrong.
God will have (wants if you like) all men to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4)
It is God’s “pleasure” that all mankind be saved.
And “God is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will” (Ephesians 1:11).
Change it to read “in accord with the counsel of what He wants if you like.
Because God says
"My counsel shall stand. I will do all my pleasure
(the saving of all mankind is part of the pleasure that God wants)
Yea I have spoken it.
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it.
I will also do it."
Isaiah 46:10,11
Job 23:13 “But he stands alone, and who can oppose Him? He does whatever he pleases.
(the saving of all mankind is part of what He wants that pleases Him).
Isaiah 55:11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
(the saving of all mankind is part of all of which God desires or wants)
So we see God does all His pleasure, He does whatever He pleases, and His word accomplishes that which He desires.
His pleasure, that which He desires and pleases Him is what He wants.
His will = What He wants
What does He want?
THE SALVATION OF ALL MANKIND
Why will it happen? Because God Himself will see to it that it gets done.
Any cooperation towards our salvation is the result, not the cause of God laying hold on us by His saving grace and causing Jesus to be "choice" in our heart, just like it was in the case of Lydia and Saul of Tarsus.
The opinions of exactly how God will achieve universal salvation may differ from UR to UR just like, as Bright Hope pointed out, the opinions of ETers also vary from person to person about what the Bible teaches about salvation.
I'm not too concerned what is good and acceptible in your sight.
I can't help but wonder why you keep talking to people when you do not approve of their communication style, can't stand them as persons, and couldn't care less what they think.
Judging by yor comments you are having a horrible day. I hope it gets better.

I can't help but wonder why Finn never even attempts to disprove the evidence that I posted #163
