Honestly, I don't know how those Nazi's went on to live their lives after doing the horrendous things they did. I don't know a lot about god and forgiveness, but I can't see how an evil person would get to heaven. I'd prefer to think people like that are in hell for eternity.

If the Nazi repented of his sins, then the sin clensing blood of Christ has attoned for his sin. If he just devoted his life to christ and didn't accept the Grace of God upon himself, then he has gone the way of the Hypocrite. Remember the Nazis thought they were carrying out the will of God and just got swept up in the charisma of a minor Anti-Christ. In other words they thought they were doing what was right in their perspective. The same goes for Jihadists today and the Crusaders of the Middle Ages

Both. While the Nazi's crime was heinous, it is one that can be forgiven. If his commitment to Christ is honest and true and lived to the best of his newfound Christian knowledge and teaching, he should make it in. The child, being too young and innocent enough to realize his sins and accept responsibility for them by asking God's forgiveness is there too.

Even though the Nazi is a killer, if he is truely sorry and asks God to forgive him and give his life to Christ he is forgiven. All sins are equal in the sight of God. So both would go to heaven.

interior the 1930's fifty one% of the inhabitants of Germany become Lutheran, and 40 5% become Roman Catholic. So probably the Nazi become already a Christian. i got here upon an old encyclopedia printed in 1932 that indexed those non secular probabilities, so as that they are authentic. Many Christians are anti-semitic.

God alone decides. My best guess? The Jewish child for sure. If the ex-Nazi truly repented then he has a chance to make it to Heaven like any repentant sinner.

Christ has said "do not suffer the children to come to me." I'd have to think that the child, dying an innocent, would be entrusted to the mercy of the Lord and would be in Heaven.
From an evangelical perspective, if the child is not old enough to accept Christ, she is not old enough to reject Christ, and thus the way to Heaven remains open, through the mercy of our Lord.
From a Catholic perspective, the child still has the mercy of the Lord on her side, and though she was not baptised, the concept of limbo (a holding pattern, sort of) doesn't fit. She was an innocent whose soul desired the Lord (as do all innocent souls), and while deserving of baptism, did not receive it, yet that should not prevent her salvation.
The Nazi has committed murder, and though he has converted, even truthfully in his heart, to Christ, he has still committed murder. Though his sins are atoned for, he still must live his faith. If he remains a murderer in heart, then evangelicals would say his salvation was incomplete because his profession of faith was insincere, while Catholics would say that the stain of sin inherent to his person has remained and must be eliminated by imitating Christ. I think all faith traditions would demand that he turn himself over to punishment for war crimes, and devote his life to Jesus Christ as Lord, as well as Savior.
Note that it is not the turning in of himself for his crimes that saves him, but rather that allows him to follow Christ by letting innocent blood of the victim be satisfied.
To say that it is sufficient for him to believe, confess and be baptized reflects an incomplete understanding of salvation. Indeed he is justified by faith, but he must show sorrow by accepting the guilt of his sins. Christ has forgiven Him even as the world judges him. Thus does Christ refuse to be a refuge for unrepentant sinners.

If he truly accepted Christ, he will go to heaven. As for the Jewish child, it depends on how old he is--is he past the age of accountability? This age is individual and only God knows.
I wonder, though, are YOU going to heaven?

According to the Bible, if he truely devotes his life to Christ and asks for forgiveness for his sins, then he will be going to Heaven. Which is kind of messed up!

According to Christianity the child is in hell and the Nazi is in heaven.
