OK one chapter. Mine is not baseless. Study David if you want to know where I base my belief. I use the entire bible for my beliefs. But I understand other people have different ideas or beliefs and that is just fine by me but I also have a right to express my beliefs regardless of your judgements. None of us know EXACTLY what happens after death. To say if Hitler had just accept Christ 2 days before his death that he would be saved totally goes against everything I believe. To each his own. Live and let live.
Your perspective is that of the younger son that protested when the father celebrated the return of the prodigal son, and it is a typical human perspective. But that's not God's perspective. Luke 15 tells us that we each as individuals are so precious to Him that anytime we repent and turn to Him, he rejoices, forgives, and celebrates. He doesn't play the "greater good" game but values each and every one of us. He will leave the flock of 99 to find the one lost sheep. He will welcome back anyone who repents even after a lifetime of sin. This seems unfair to those who have remained faithful to God and did not stray, but instead of feeling cheated we should rejoice with God that another soul has returned because it is what God wants and we are all guilty of sin. It doesn't diminish our salvation in any way when God forgives even the worst sinner that we see as underserving. We were not around when God hung the stars in the sky, and its not up to us to say who God forgives or not.
Any of us can be the prodigal son, including Soros. Although his repentance appears unlikely, miracles do happen and God would rejoice in it. The point of the story is that God's forgiveness is free to anyone who truly repents, just as salvation is open to whomsoever shall believe. This is the reason we should pray for everyone, ourselves, and our enemies, to repent of their sins so they can die in a state of grace.
Its a chapter, not a verse and more than your baseless claim.

Comparing Soros to the prodigal son! ok whatever
