Q&A: Salvation of severely mentally handicapped people — accountability proportional to awareness
Q&A segment begins; first question about soteriological edge cases.
Mike lacks a direct proof text so argues from principle: God holds people accountable proportional to their awareness (Luke 10 / Matt 11 — Chorazin and Bethsaida will be judged more harshly than Sodom because they saw miracles). The inverse implies lesser awareness = lesser judgment. God knows exactly what mentally handicapped individuals understand. They still deal with sin and the sin nature but God, who knows the heart, will judge them perfectly and fairly. Mike does not say mental disability = automatic salvation, but trusts God's perfect justice and desire that all be saved.
