This is considered fair? Why doesn't the murderer get some sort of punishment, because that would be justice at work.
You're trying to make human justice and spiritual justice interchangeable. It doesn't work that way, God gave use laws or the reasoning to make laws for justice between humans. God's justice is keeping His word to mankind, faith in Christ is not a ticket to forgiveness, it is the narrow road that leads to forgiveness. There is no indirect blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. It's as simple as this faith in Christ and you will be forgiven, no faith in Christ no forgiveness. You can not mix human justice and God's spiritual justice through mercy.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
