going to heaven via last minute confession of sincere faith

[Thav]

4. I do believe it works that way, however

I feel as some of the other posters do with the "hedging of bets" and "sincerity" of it. It seems like a wasted life if you are a despicable human your entire life, then come to Christ in your last hours. I believe that, if they're sincere, they'll face Jesus and he'll say, "Why did you wait so long to come to me? I had great plans for you, but they never came to be."

However, I do believe that a person can get saved last minute, because I believe in the salvation that Jesus's blood bought us. As much as we say that evil people do not deserve salvation, remember we don't deserve it either. We are all sinners. God places no hierarchy on sin, only man does that. When we are reborn in Christ, all of our sins are washed away and we're instructed to go and sin no more. To say that death-bed rebirth in Christ is not possible is the same as saying it's not possible early in life either.

I feels to me that end-of-life conversion is a last ditch effort to atone for a life of sin, and it feels like it lacks sincerity. To speak the words is one thing, to believe them is another.

When we get to heaven, will Jesus tell us "Well done," or will he say, "I had so much planned for you." For me, I hope it is the former.

So, is Hitler in heaven? I doubt it. He believed in himself, not Jesus.
