What do you think God does in exceptional cases either in your personal opinion or what the bible says on it?

Stillborn, miscarriage, infant deaths

People who were murdered, meaning died not on God's timing and therefore didn't have the time to find God (especially children/teens murdered who were not raised religious or exposed to it)

Brainwashed individuals eg being born and raised in a cult, manipulated into following Satanism unknowingly (popular modern media condoning abortion, promiscuity, drugs, the attempted destruction of gender and influencing our children and school learning material)

People who died whilst they were in the process of conversion eg had begun to believe in God but hadn't been baptized yet

People who lived completely without worshipping God but prayed to him accepting him and asking for forgiveness on their death beds.

People who believe but cannot worship in a conventional way due to circumstances eg Christian living in an Islamic state etc

Christians who still sin such as gay Christians, addicts, lustful etc... 1. those who repent but still sin and 2. those who don't repent because they've been baptised and worship God so they believe they're instantly forgiven now.

There's probably tons of other examples but those are just what I could come up with
 
"If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children."

The bible does not often cover "exceptional cases," so there is not a lot to say about it.

In all of these cases there is not much to go on from the Bible, and that is OK. We do not need to know what happens to everyone else; only how WE OURSELVES relate to God.

Of course we want others, especially those we are close to, to be right with God and go to Heaven. But we have to leave that in HIS hands, to judge on each case individually. We can only rely on HIM being just, loving, and merciful.
