Do you honestly believe that everyone has an equal chance of hearing the Gospel??? Do you evade the question by pretending that there are none that never heard the Gospel ??? There are millions of people who have and are dying without even hearing of Jesus. If you have the idea that GOD owes all men an Equal Chance of getting saved then you are wrong about many things. First: God does not owe any man anything but His Righteous Judgement and damnation. All men have that coming in Adam. In this regard the playing field is VERY VERY EVEN. If you are born into the world and NEVER EVER SIN like Jesus - then God will take you to heaven based on your GOOD WORKS. This is called the Covenant of Works All men receive this covenant. That is the original deal Adam had. He blew it not just for himself but for all of mankind FOREVER !!!! Second: Only Jesus was born the SECOND ADAM not of the seed of Adam but of God. He did not blow it and earned eternal life for himself and to whosoever HE CHOSES to give it as a GIFT. He owes it to none and no one can EARN it through any act of the Flesh. This is known as the Covenant of Grace Some men receive this covenant. The terms of the deal are that you must hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, repent of your sin, and BY FAITH God grants you the GIFT of Eternal life. Those whom God chooses to be his Elect are chosen before they are ever born. Read this Romans 9:11 "( for the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of god according to election might stand, not of works but of Him that calleth;) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated." Jesus said. "Many are called but few are chosen" He did not say 'All are called but few chose.'
