According to Christianity... yes, as are all repenting folks... even Charles Manson and Adolf Hitler and Stalin, that is if they accepted Jesus and genuinely asked for forgiveness.

Christ never taugt that, though the born-again Christians do teach that, but what they don't understand is that death does not change us. If Dahmer is in heaven, even if forgiven, he has not changed. Therefore, heaven would actually be hell. There is a price to be paid to acheive heaven. No unclean thing can inherit heaven.

My first thought is, there is a big difference between asking, and really being truly sincere, really being sorry, and really meaning it.
I somehow do not think the latter would apply in Dahmers case.
It would be much like one saying they believe in god, but not really meaning it, only trying to gain favor with the lord and I just do not believe that would work.
If its not in the heart, it has no meaning.
But then again, that is a question that only the lord can and will answer, not you or I, . . . . . . .as we can only speculate.

This is a free gift from God. All have sinned and come short of the glory of the Lord.
Yes he is in heaven if he asked for forgiveness with a broken heart and a sincere spirit.

If heaven exists, and Jeffrey Dahmer accepted Christ as his savior, then yes, he is indeed in heaven.

Yes - Christ is there ready to accept anyone who accepts Him as their Saviour and truly believes. Sin is sin to God, and the only way to get to Heaven is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

Crazy as it sounds yes. When we all die, we ALL go to Heaven where we came from in the first place. We come from Heaven to this place called Earth (aka Hell) to experience negativity b/c there is none on the Other Side.
Whether one accepts Jesus and God into their lives they go to Heaven as well. Ask yourself, If God LOVES US so much, why would he want to see us burn in Hell? That's just dumb.

If Jeffery Dahmer was sincerely remorseful and repented before God with an honest heart than yes, he would be allowed into heaven.

Reports tell us that Jeffrey did accept Jesus as Savior.
Therefore, by faith, we can expect to see him in heaven.

Dahmer has a lot of sins to pay for before he get to heaven. There is such a thing as "residual punishment" , even if your sins are forgiven.
