Answer 2

This is one area that atheists, Arminians, and Calvinists will all agree on -- you don't get a chance after dying. Atheists obviously don't believe in God anyway so the answer by definition has to be no. For Arminians, God's love turning to wrath makes salvation an offer, with death being the dividing line. No chance after that dividing line. For Calvinists, God has already chosen his own from before the foundations of the world, he does not need to change his mind or offer any free will to Man during life, and certainly not after death when he simply tells the unregenerate, "you were never mine" and separates the sheep from the goats accordingly.

I don't know a Christian (except the uninformed & wishful thinkers) who would say that you get a second chance after death. This option is nowhere to be found in the Bible.

Answer 3

That depends on your interpretation of the Bible. From what I read, death is the price for sin, yet in Revelations, there will be a resurrection of the dead. Those resurrected will have 1000 years to live under Christ and accept his teachings without the influence of Satan. Once the 1000 years are up, Satan will be let loose upon the world as a final test to all. Those that side with Satan (and believe me, there will be people even in the best of conditions siding with Satan) will be destroyed forever.
So who gets resurrected? Only God will decide. I can only guess that those people who did'nt know about God, and those who were ignorant due to corrupted teachings. Should be interesting who shows up at that time.

Answer 4

John 3:18-19 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Hebrews 9:27 27 and as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,


To answer your question. According to these passages of scripture, only those who believe on Jesus Christ are not condemned; but those who do not believe are already condemned because they do not believe in the Son of God. Because it is appointed for all us to die once and then receive judgment from God, there will be no second chances. Only those who make their choice for Jesus Christ here will have a heaven tomorrow. Hope that helps.

Answer 5

No, because that would negate the reason Jesus died for our sins. We are not to live our lives however sinful we want and then get a 2nd chance after death. It doesn't and CAN'T work that way.
Faith in Christ,repenting and living for Him WHILE ALIVE is the ONLY way to gain heaven. You cannot become born again after death.You can ONLY become born again ( born from Above) while living.

Answer 6

Do you get a chance to buy the merchandise you stole after you get caught in order to avoid jail? No, I didn't think so! Allowing you to get away with a crime (sin) until you get caught and are about be given your jail sentence (hell) is not justice. If a murderer says "oops yeah that's not what I really wanted to do" should the judge just let him free? Well, God is the judge and you are the criminal - after you die it's a case of too little too late I'm afraid!

Answer 7

No. Once we die, it's too late. The Bible says :

27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:


Hebrews chapter 9

Since we aren't promised a tomorrow that's also why the Bible says :

behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

2 Corinthians 6:2(b)

Answer 8

When we die we are without excuse (Romans 1:20) because the invisible attributes of God are visible through his creation. Why would God waste his time trying reach us on earth if he knew we'd accept him at our death? And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27). This leaves no room for repentance after death.

Answer 9

I think you may get at change after earthly death if you have not explicity choosen to disbelieve Gods existence, or if you have been a seeker to the best of you ability but did not have direct exposure to the gospel. Say you lived in a remote place and never heard the gospel, but through creation acknowledged Gods existence and chose to seek him to the best of your ability.

If you have the choice and choose not to believe and seek God, no second chance.

Answer 10

Absolutletly not. Your given that chance while you are alive. After you dead, there is nothing more you can do, but sleep and no nothing until you are ressurected and either given Judgement (people who new and followed chist) or will be in the grave for another thousand years and raised and judged. either the Kingdom of heaven or the lake of fire.

Answer 11

I believe so .... there are scriptures that refer to God searching the heart and kidneys of a person .... and also another scripture , I think by Paul ..... that says something about there being a ressurection of both the righteous and the unrighteous ..... We can't really tell who has the right heart ...... and there are some people that believe one thing but do another. Only God is the one that is going to do the seperating so .... it's in his hands.
