Firefighters, passengers that prevented more murder, etc...
Conversely, if a terrorist "realised" Jesus was Lord a moment before crashing, are they in heaven?
I think this points out how out of touch Christianity has become that some would say, yes.

Its not a popularity contest. I'm so proud of the hero's that died on 9/11 however salvation is only available through acceptance in Jesus as your savior. If they refused to do so then they lost salvation and Heaven. Likewise if one of the terrorist sincerely understood that what he had just done was wrong and asked Jesus Christ into his heart then, yes he would be saved. Salvation through Jesus Christ is a free gift. All we have to do is sincerely ask for it.

a persons' deeds has no longer something to do with them going to heaven or hell. it would not count number if the international calls them heroes or terrorists. What does Jesus call them? Does Jesus call them with assistance from call or does Jesus say 'i do not understand you'? What really concerns is weither or no longer someone knows the forgiveness of God. The forgivness of God is Jesus. it would not count number who we are, if we do not understand Jesus we are toast. there is merely one thanks to the daddy and that is through Jesus. If we deny Jesus we deny the daddy besides. we are born sinful. devoid of the cleansing of Jesus Christ's blood we are able to all bypass to hell. it truly is a actuality. have self belief it or don't have self belief it, it truly is our determination. If we do not remember on Jesus we don't have self belief we may be forgiven.

Yes...I don't believe that Jesus should be the only way to heaven! If you were good and did what those heroes did, then why shouldn't they go to heaven! I think it's codswhollop to go to hell for not believing in jesus!

sorry, the "let's blame God for sending heros to Hell" gambit does not work and never will.....
but nice try.
going to Heaven, instead of Hell, has nothing whatsoever to do with how good a person you are, how brave you are, how much money you have......
realizing Jesus is Lord will also not get anyone to Heaven, terrorist or otherwise.
even the Devil himself realizes that Jesus Christ is Lord of the Universe.
all humans are born with a sinful nature.
God is without sin and He cannot and will not allow a soul into Heaven with a sinful nature.
He devised a plan to remedy that situation, and it is the only plan, the only way to heaven.....
and it is His Gift to you, if you will ony accept it:
John 3: The Words of Jesus Christ (God in the flesh)
3. "Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus saith unto Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
16. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18. He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

"There are no atheists in combat. If one gets shot the first thing out of their mouths is “Oh GOD!”
Wow, you obviously have no sense of reality. My grandfather was one of the most moral people I have ever known, he had extensive combat action all throughout WW2 along with being involved in D-day, he never gave up his morals to a twisted idol like you worship. You should not make such ridiculous claims. He saved more lives than you ever will.

According to christians, yes. According to christians, the most evil sob to walk the earth will go to Heaven if he accepts Jesus as his savior, while the most saintly, loving, kind, self-sacrificing heathen will burn in Hell for all eternity.
Seriously. How do intelligent people find any of that to make the remotest sense...
I'm just your average person and *I* am more compassionate than the christian version of God. That's not saying much for the christian God.

Those people who ever they might be in the world who have not accepted the spirit of God within them with faith and love will be separated from others when their soul leaves there body and goes on.as it is the spirit of God which leads them, being connected to the spirit, to what people call heaven.in my fathers house or many mansions,its doesn't matter what path or no path they follow, the spirit of god is for EVERYONE who wants it and asks for it .all one has to do is ask.

If you believe that, in spite of Adam's fall, anyone could deserve heaven through works of their own, then please give some scriptural examples of those who did. Jesus gave plenty of illustrations as to the perfection that it took to enter in, and no one could live up to God's requirements.
