“Alma … pointed out that there is a relationship between understanding gospel principles and being accountable for our actions. He warned the wicked Nephites in Ammonihah: ‘ … it would be far more tolerable for the Lamanites than for them’ because the Lamanites had sinned in ignorance (Alma 9:23). Elder George Albert Smith similarly declared: ‘We will not be judged as our brothers and sisters of the world are judged, but according to the greater opportunities placed in our keeping’” (Cowan, “New Meaning of ‘Restoration,’” 205–6).
