this can be a quite good deal for atheist as they can enjoy sundays without going to the church, having more fun time on the earth and exploring different ideas, meeting gay people and having many sexual partners, what a great deal!

"purely position self belief in Jesus' lack of life and shed blood on the bypass to pay on your sins, and also you're kept invariably. once kept, continually kept. No works are in touch, no good deeds, no warding off adultery, stealing, and so on. None of that receives you an inch in the route of heaven, because the purely charge for sins is the blood of Jesus Christ, through which he offered the church of God" AHH!, you idea i doesn't examine it? that isn't real! Jesus Christ reported "in case you adore me, you would keep my commandments" faith with out Works is useless. do no longer misrepresent the Bible like that. there'll be no sinners in Heaven.

Yes, God will save anyone who is sincere, but who says you will have a chance on your deathbed? Who is guaranteed that chance? And also, Jesus could come back in the twinkling of an eye and the atheist will have no chance to repent and confess that he believes. There are no guarantees. The bible says "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord". All atheists will do it one day, it will just be too late for them sadly.

What happens if an athiest dies suddenly before he cries out to Jesus? There are more benefits in being a Christian than just going to heaven. Jesus gives us abundant life here on earth if we walk in faith. Going to church where Jesus is present is a life-changing and wonderful experience which true Christians enjoy when they worship God in spirit and truth..

There are stipulations for being saved:
You must truly be repentant of your sin.
You must truly believe in Christ.
You must also not live your life sinning on purpose, expecting to gain Heaven when you lived life denying God and Heaven.
You cannot deny God too long before God can and does turn you over to a reprobate mind.
A person with a reprobate mind will not choose God, because there is a point in time [God knows but man does not know], when God will simply give you over to your own free will.
It is wanting, His perfect will NOT his submissive will, for your life and doing as His Word says.
Salvation is not like a movie theater, where you can sneak in without a TICKET!
It is not like an Express Lane at WalMart, you can't slip through quickly just because you think you are promised that. For God promises Heaven to those who live for and believe on Him, not those who continually go about denying him, as well as trying to lead others to deny him.

There is one problem, he might not get that chance, death might come very fast. But if that person was on his deathbed and he had time to think about God, and did repent from his sins, and make Jesus Christ his Lord and Savior, then he would be saved.
But if this is what you are thinking about doing, you might not ever get that chance. Death could come at anytime.

If he is sincere in what he says, yes. But God looks on the heart and if someone wants to sin and live any way they want all their lives then have a "death bed confession", I doubt they'd be sincere about it in the first place. Besides that, there is no guarantee that person will have a "death bed", they may be killed in a car accident or some way that is instant, therefore going to hell for eternity. It's just not worth the chance.

To the question: Yes, they can.
To the observation: True, but you're presupposing they
1) will have an opportunity to repent just before they die,
2) will have an opportunity to repent just before they die,
and
3) will have an opportunity to repent just before they die.
My point is that few people know they will be dead in the next moment.
Let them do as they wish. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Are you intimating that you do not like going to church on Sunday and that your life is not enjoyable because you believe in Jesus Christ?
Now that's a revelation, if I've ever read one.

no, and to be perfectly honest it is a totally ignorant question.
its not yours to take Christ, its Christs to choose you. I'm not saying that i don't believe in someone being saved on there death bed, Jesus told the thief on the cross that He would "see him in Paradise", but you are obviously not asking the question to be serious, the thief was truly repentant of his sin.
