N2  - The general orthodox Christian view of who gets to heaven and who is doomed to hell is based on the notion that we humans have to choose to "opt in" to God's plan for our salvation by baptism, repentance, prayer, and a righteous life. But what if it's the opposite-we are all in, from the moment we are born, no matter when or where we live, and we have to choose to "opt out" in order to be excluded from God's universal grace?
