Your reference in Alma 34 has been taken out of context. Let me try to clarify. That entire 34th chapter is a dissertation from the prophet Amulek, as he spoke to the Zoramities who were already members of the church who fell away from it’s truths. Therefore, they had already had the opportunity to hear and understand the gospel. He was calling them to repentance and reminded them that there would not be another chance for them after this life to accept the gospel message. As our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has said through His prophets, as recorded in the Doctrine & Covenants, those who have not had the opportunity to hear and understand the gospel while here on the earth will have that opportunity when they leave this life. They may not even accept it then, but the opportunity will still be theirs so they can be fairly judged like the rest of us who have had that opportunity. When we are judged at that final hour, the Lord will take everything, and I emphasize everything, into account that we have been through in this life for that final judgment process. It only makes sense to me that every one of his children should be given an equal opportunity to accept or reject truth. This is another great example of a fair and just God.

I hope that this is helpful to you.
