if a person dies suddenly and wasn't able to repent, does that mean that person will go to hell?

Question

if you answer yes, please explain why, and how can you be so sure that that person is indeed going to hell. thank you.

Answer 1

No one can be sure who goes to heaven or hell... thats God's choice.

Answer 2

While the person is alive he has the opportunity every day to repent. God is the only One that knows the person's heart and will decide on judgment day. It is clear in the Word that Jesus said No one can come to the Father except through Him. That is why it's important to make a choice while still alive to do it. Nobody really knows when it's the last day, hour or moment of their life.

Answer 3

I think thats a good question i have asked that before also..but No one could possibly answer that ..you never know in the split second they were dying what they may have said to God. But i do believe say if it were like a sudden gun shot to the head and you had no time what so ever that you would go to hell. Bc you have to accept Jesus as lord and savior of your life. But then again who am i to judge thats just my opinion. But if everyone had the choice to say a prayer and get into heaven right before they die and be able to live in sin who wouldnt do it. Thats a risk im not willing to take....Anyways hope this helped to answer your question'

Answer 4

There is no way anyone but God can know anyone's heart. If that person was saved, he will not go to hell even if he sinned and did not have time to repent of that particular sin before he died. But Jesus said the only way to Heaven was through Him, accepting that He died and was resurrected to atone for our sins. And if this person has accepted Jesus and been saved, then he will not go to hell.

Answer 5

Even a person who dies suddenly, may have a possibility to repent, you don't know what happens in the last second of their life. Only God knows if they had repented or not!

Answer 6

Yes that person will go to hell, why? Because in order for God to forgive you, you have to confess your sins with a sincere heart, repent from each one of your sins, ask God for the grace to overcome your sinful habits and lifesyle and then thank him for your forgiveness. So if a person died suddenly without confessing their sins and so on then they've died as a sinful person. Do you know why people confess their sins? Because thru confession God wipes away their sins and He remembers them no more and you are as white as snow, thru confession God's grace falls on a person abundandly, thru confession you believe that you've been cleaned by Jesus Christ with His blood and you show God that you believe in His Son Jesus Christ, that Jesus died for our sins and that He's our Lord and Saviour. God bless you.
But the answer can also be a No because the Bible says if you believe that Jesus died for us and that He's our Lord and Saviour then you are saved. and if you don't you are already dead. You will get judged of course if you die without repenting but that doesn't mean God's grace will not fall on you. So are we sure where anyone went (hell or heaven)? No because God is the Judge. Because in the end we are not saved by what we do but merely because we believe in Jesus Christ, God's grace will fall on you.

Answer 7

No. And that person will not go to heaven either. That person and all persons are just going into the ground unless they are cremated and their ashes is thrown to the wind. It is nothing but BS; hell and heave, Jesus and Satan. It is the same old thing; what is suppose to be good against what is bad.

Answer 8

depends on if the person(s) allready accepted christ as a savior, and if so, when? if he/she believed in christ, they repented, confessed christ as the lord and savior and was baptized for the remission of sins, and they've lived accordingly up until their death, then they would be saved and go to a place where they are held until judgement day. (scripturally called hades).
Matthew 7:24 "He who hears these words of Mine."
Acceptance of Jesus
John 1:12 "As many as received Him."
Belief
John 3:16 "Whosoever believes on Him." (Also John 1:12)
Repentance
Luke 17:3 "Unless you repent, you will likewise perish."
Confession
Matthew 10:32 "He who confesses My name before men."
Baptism
Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved."
Obedience
Matthew 7:21-22 ". He who does the will of My Father who is in heaven"
Matthew 7:24 "He who hears these words of Mine and does them."

Answer 9

i think it would depend on the person and surcamstances tho. i mean what if hitler repented for what he did? should he still go to heaven? i think that a person should only go to heaven if they are a good person and have lived a fairly good life because after all no one is perfect and this should be regardless of what religion or faith they are.

Answer 10

the element is it extremely is too previous through repent on your sins once you died, human beings can settle for the possibility for penance interior the subsequent existence if there is any temporal punishment which continues to be because of the fact of sin. To repent is to instruct removed from sin and make modification for what that they had completed incorrect, on a similar time as penance is self-mortification or devotion to voluntary to instruct sorrow for sin or wrongdoing. we are all sinners, if the guy had repented for his or her sins till now that they had died, it extremely is obtainable that God could have forgiven them their everlasting punishment. the element isn't any one is conscious whilst they are going to die different than for God.

Answer 11

first off, you don't go straight to hell or heaven when you die. instead, your soul just leaves your dead body which is now incapable of hosting this life-energy called "soul" and returns to the life-giver up there. it is in a passive state. not to be restored to an active state until all dead humans, past and future, is ressurected and their souls restored to them at the second coming of christ.

the ressurected and living faithful (now immortal), will rule with christ for 1000 years over all humans who did not have the chance to know him, or wasn't able to change. it is like probation period. and then they will be judged to either live eternally and rule the heavens, or die eternally (hell) and cease to exist.
