I have a few records of words of life-time atheists who repented on their death bed, as their eyes saw "angels of God" who came to collect their souls but I'd like to get more of such incidences.
An atheist does not have to believe in the God-Jesus-Angels-heaven-hell facts for him to go to hell...He will go anyway if he does not repent.Hell and heaven is not hanging on their own thoughts.Hell is real and so is heaven...and so is judgement.
Some people who almost died saw their loved ones calling them to something that looks like heaven and they think it was really their families who passed away. This is not true...
One Nigerian pastor who died and came back, says those people who appear to be your dead families on their way turn into demons who will be carrying you to hell!He says you will notice them NOT to be your dead family as you go deeper into that tunnel.
The things of the spirit realm are beyond human imaginations.
Anyone out there who have such records?

Not this time...I really want them.But if it does convert a few atheist I would still praise God. Hell is real you know.
Atheists will not have to have faith in God when they die, they will know for sure that Jesus is the Lord.

To Yoda Green
It is not a good idea to call men of God, including myself certain names like "morons".
My worry is that God will punish you for that...I know when that happens you will remember this message.
Children of God should not be afraid to tell the world of the severity of God.God holds those who believe in them with high esteem.
While you have not discovered the truth( 'cause you will discover it one day, you just came some few years ago and you read a few books but GOD HAS BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING OF EARTH LIFE)...avoid angering the true God by showing disrespect to His children, you will get yourself in trouble.

If man finds it difficult to cheat or fool other men, what makes you think you will cheat God?
He has recorded your words and will use them against you in judgement.

I have heard that Karl Marx who is famously known for saying "religion is the opium of the people" died with the words "God who I don't believe in, save me" on his lips. But sorry I have not found proof anywhere.
As for the aetheists, let me put your mind to rest. God have never nor will He ever force anyone to believe in Him or like Him. He gave free will so you can choose to love Him or choose to reject Him. So if you can live with disowning Him now while you still have breath in you, then do not be surprised when on the day of reckoning (giving an account of your life), when He then gets to disown you. No hard feelings eh?

Are you looking for these accounts for your own gratification, or do you really believe that you will be able to sway atheists to find faith? The fact is that stories of experiences such as these are highly subjective. They can not be proven to be fictitious or real, as only the person that had passed and came back, or was passing and repented on their death bed saw what it was they believe they saw. Because you can not prove or disprove the stories you can only choose to believe or not believe.
And that's where the twist comes in. People by nature have what is called a confirmation bias. They will approach a piece of evidence with a preexisting belief and look for the side of the story that confirms their belief. You will read stories of people repenting on their death bed because they said they saw god. This will fulfill your desire to find proof in the existence of god. I, as an atheist, will find the fine print in which the doctor's diagnosed the patient to be delusional in their last hours. This will fulfill my desire to prove the story to nothing more than a story. In the end we wind up only believing or not believing.

You just figured out my masterful plan! I'm going to live my entire life as a Godless heathen atheist and sin as much as I want. Then, as I lay on my death bed I'll go to confession and say how sorry I am. That way I'll be covered either way. If there's no God, then I haven't wasted my life by believing in him, and if there is a God I'll still get into heaven.Perhaps I won't wait til my death bed, though, because really old people often die in their sleep, so maybe I'll convert when I'm 90 or something and there aren't many fun sins left.

The anecdote concerning the Nigerian pastor is interesting but questionable. In particular,it suggests the Nigerian pastor is an atheist, given the details about the route to hell and little about the route to heaven. The Voltaire confession is also intriguing, as it seems to suggest that's where the "brilliant" minds go (i.e., into the Sun...in the "heavens").

Yes I know of a few but themost important thing is not that you get to hear the words it is that you get ot see who is acctually in heaven when you get their because I am sure that God will judge who will and who will not if they don't already know. also the spirit world is God's domain. People caome back they don't have to be pastors. So there might be a bit of cross over time that you could use to get your salvation so to speak. All might be with the multitude with the blood on their white robes or maybe in the 144,000 which is not clear as to who might be in it's members

the most famous deathbed conversion was that of the french philosopher voltaire.
voltaire had been a self-proclaimed atheist all his life, as he lay dying in 1788 the catholic church mounted a 24/7 vigil at his bedside in the hope of forcing a last minute recantation out of the hardened humanist.
finally the last moments came, and the tiny french thinker weakly waved his attendant bishop forward.
the churchman bent forward to catch the master's dying words.
'déja, les flammes!' sighed voltaire, and died smiling.

"One Nigerian pastor who died and came back"
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Oh man thanks for the laugh, did you get that from a letter asking you to go into partnership with this pastor from Nigeria? If so, I hope he fleeced your gullible a$$ for every penny.
You guys really are pathetic, gullible morons did you know that? YOu have my pity anyway. And my gratitude, I'm EVER so grateful that I'm not you...
Oh and jackson? that's an outright lie. Nothing more than a christian fantasy, and like all the others, totally false. Darwin NEVER "recanted" on his deathbed. The woman who claimed that, lied. Sorry to burst your bubble...

Constantine the Great may have made Christianity the official religion of Rome, but he hedged his bets and did not actually convert until he was on his death bed.

Charles Darwin is the most famous one. He recanted his evolution theory on his deathbed.

Things of the spirit world are not beyond human imagination - they are wholly a product of human imagination.
