The Bible

Dispensational - A proper interpretation of Scripture requires an understanding that the outworking of God's purposes have been accomplished through various distinguishable economies by which man is tested in respect of obedience to some specific revelation of the will of God. That revelation has been progressive with each succeeding dispensation. The central theme of each dispensation is salvation through faith in God's providing an atonement for the sins of mankind.

Personal Opinion:

Fair enough. God can deal with us as he pleases.  He made us for his pleasure so he gets to write the rules as to what pleases him.  If the rules change, who are we to complain?

It does seem that the loving thing would be to give due notice to all when the rules change and exactly what these changes are.

The rule as to the laws of this country is "ignorance of the law is no excuse".  God apparently operates on the same principle.  How can I know for sure that each and every individual alive or dead, has or has not received fair warning and notice of God's rules for salvation?  I can't.

I can only trust that God, being infinitely just, has given to all due notice of his laws.
