You can murder ten million and die enjoying it and you are still going to heaven.
There is no such place as hell to go to.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

YES.
Anyone who hates his fellow is a murderer.
We are all murderers, for we hated somebody else in at least one point of our lives.
We are not sinners because we sin, but we sin because we are sinners.
In essence, there is no difference between murdering one and one million.
It takes the same kind of repentance for both to be forgiven, which is the genuine kind. Your repentance does not need to be geniune a million times.
3 of your first surprises if and when you get to heaven will be:
1. Some of the people you thought should go there are not there.
2. Some of the people you thought should not go there are there.
3. YOU'RE THERE.
On the other hand, one who commits such a crime could only be demon possessed and has surrendered his life to Satan. He has made a conscious decision to do evil. In practical terms, it is almost impossible for such a person to be saved because his only hope is to acknowledge his sins and surrender to the light of God.
Yes, salvation is provided but will he accept it? God loves us so much he even came down to die on the cross for all of us. But do we believe Him and put our trust in Him?
Ultimately it is the grace of God through faith that saves a person. This is why God is to be revered above all. He has the first and final say. He is God and you're not. But, guess what. As eternally high as he is God and impossible to reach because of our sins, He came down to us and died in our stead simply because he loves us. HE NEVER HAD TO DO IT but He chose to because He loves you!!! This truth does not depend on whether you believe it or not, but your salvation does.
One, one million or one billion. God's love and blood covers it all.

There are couple of good people on here that have some well thought out answers, Mr. Martin is one that comes to mind since he backs up what he says with Scripture.
I might add to his comment that Paul himself DID commit heinous crimes against the Christians until he was called by God and he became one of the Greatest Evangelists ever.
Early Christians were VERY skeptical of Paul's conversion and he even needed to "lay low" as it were, since his reputation as a persecutor of Christians was very well known. (ACTS)
As others have stated here only true repentance and true belief that Jesus Christ died for your sins is the ONLY way to heaven. Simply doing good deeds is not enough, and that is a concept that a lot of people have a problem with, one poster pointed that out perfectly. People have a problem with accepting Christ becuase that would mean an acknowledgement that they are unable to save themselves. Only Jesus, who committed NO sins and was sent by God, not as a messenger, not as a prophet, but as his Son to be a final blood sacrifice as a way to offer us justification and allowing us to be redeemed of our sins.
His offering as the pure lamb, as God's own "first fruits" sets forth the delineation between the Old testament and New Testament. It's not as simply as Jesus was born - it was that God sent his son to be a sacrifice for OUR sins and to Redeem us FROM sins when in the Old Testament Sacrifices were offered to Atone for Sins.
So the short answer is yes.

Well, you'd certainly stand condemned before God -- just like everyone else from Adam forward. No one merits Heaven on their own, I thought Jesus made that pretty clear with his examples of the perfection God requires. Nope, nobody is worthy. But for some odd reason, He sent His Son to die for us and take our place on the cross. Don't think your salvation has anything to do with you, it's God who does the work. And He can bring you to Himself any time he wants. It's not your acceptance but rather His grace that does this. Ain't nothin' you do for yourself.

You call your self a non secular Baptist, yet doesn't Scripture itself, in Genesis say that God chosen the Jews to follow his guidelines at the same time as he made the covenant of the products with Abraham? doesn't Exodus describe the unique revelation at Sinai, with out Jews doesn't be Jews and Christians ought to no longer be Christians? Jews did not pick themselves. God did. Ask your pastor. he will verify it. If all of us has ever been the device of devil on earth, it is been Hitler. Who judges chosenness, God or devil? your finished premise is inaccurate.

Deathbed repentance generally is NOT sincere repentance. And it is very difficult to fully repent for the murder of a million people. How does one repent for the sin of murder? Can you give the person's life back?
My first instinct would be to answer your question with a resounding "NO". But, God Himself does not propose to judge men until the end of his days, so I would not presume to do it now.

I've heard several Christians say that no matter what you have done in your life, you will go to Heaven if you accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Sometimes they take it a step further and say no matter how much good you have done in your life, if you don't accept Christ you will go to Hell. This kind of attitude is a perfect example of why I can't stand Christianity.

if it were real, yes
in actuality people will resist with their last breath, Stalin talked about the wolves he heard and shook his fist at God and died
The blood of the murdered is extremely serious and of concern to God, ABels blood cried from the ground condemnation for Cain... yet...
"the blood of Jesus speaks better than the blood of Abel" Hebrews

I'm not your judge - only the Lord can make that decision. I wouldn't suggest it - I'm not sure how well deathbed repentance works even for sins much less than murder.

If you murdered a million people it's more likely that you would never turn to Christ because someone like that would have to be a son of Satan. But just for the sake of discussion, consider this passage where the Apostle Paul shares part of his testimony about his conversion with his young protege Timothy.
1 Timothy 1:13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, (14) and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. (15) The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. (16) But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
In the book of Acts Paul describes how he rounded up Christians and tried to force them to blaspheme before voting for them to be put to death. But he says in his letter to Timothy that he was meant to serve as an example to all of the people who would come after him that Jesus is patient with a sinner and will still forgive them and convert those who finally believe on Him.
The Bible tells us that if you commit adultery or commit murder it's the same thing in God's eyes. You have broken one of his laws and the penalty is the same no matter which law you break or if you only break the law once or a million times.
James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. (11) For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (10) For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
