let's say someone murdered many people during his life and raped many people too. then before he dies he accepts Jesus as his lord and accepts him as the son of God(or God).
will he enter heaven without getting punished?(notice that many christians say that Jesus died for our sins so according to this, this man have done nothing wrong and didn't commit any sin because he accepted Jesus).

......because he accepted Jesus and Jesus will pay for his sins.

So would you like it if someone murdered your family and raped your cousins accepted Jesus as God or the son of God and then just simply entered Heaven?? would you find that just to you and those people you lost?

According to the Christian faith, yes this person would go to heaven, some believe there are different levels in heaven though.
Let's say somebody else was a model citizen / employee / parent / spouse and friend all rolled into one and was told about Jesus and refused Him, this person goes to hell. Nice huh!

I would say he would be forgiven and go to Heaven because the thief on the cross next to Jesus asked forgiveness at the last minute and Jesus saved him. A lot of Christians including my pastor will say you can't make a last minute prayer but the bible says God's mercy endures forever so its never too late to get right with God.

properly, she particular sounds like she is doing what Jesus had requested us to do. She sounds like an particularly loving human being. Divination is unquestionably seen undesirable contained in the Bible, yet well-known man or woman signs and indications on the different hand are literally not inevitably undesirable. i have self belief Genesis financial ruin a million mentions that the celebs are their to handbook adult males. also, a magnificent well-known man or woman guided some smart adult males to the region of a clean born king (Jesus Christ). in my opinion, i could imagine she could flow to purgatory for a little while (if no longer heaven).

It's not what CHRISTIANS THINK, it's what the Book SAYS! If this person made an honest confession before God, repented of his ways and lived a sanctified, pious life afterward, then who are we to challenge God's salvation plan? it was freely offered to ALL men, regardless of their station in life. If he's TRULY forgiven, God knows it and we are not to challenge it.

No. It must be genune repentance. If you do truly horrible things, and many of them, it is unlikely you could ever truly repent. You miss the point that Jesus died so it would be possible we be saved. He didn't do it to give get in free cards.

IF he became a Christian then and there God would have forgiven his sins and they will be FORGOTTEN!!!
He ofcourse would of had a bad life and wouldn't get many rewards in heaven but God's love is really somthing.
I think Jesus is coming back soon.
Thats why we need to make more Christians to go to Heaven,

Yes, but only if he truly repented and wasn't just repenting to save his skin, so to speak. What you said is what we believe. I have an uncle who did many rotten things in his life and accepted Christ a few weeks before His death. He couldn't believe that God would forgive him just before he died like that but our God is so kind, that's why we love Him so much.
To answer your add on question. Yes. A drunk driver almost killed my daughter. His car was full of empty liquor bottles. He called his friend on his cell phone and chatted about how he thinks he just killed someone and never even called an 911 for my daughter. He never got arrested. He took off and never paid for his crime. I forgave him because Jesus gave me the strength to. If someday he found the Lord and truly repented of his crime, I would be happy that he got saved because I trust that God dealt with his sin. He always does and I don't have to worry about it.

Pretty ridiculous. I wonder if the christians will be happy in heaven with the murderers and child molesters who found god in the end....

Yes, "All sin and fall short of the glory of God"
Yes, this man did terrible things but we have ALL done terrible things.
Jesus said, "if you hate a man you have committed murder in your heart" "if you lust you commit adultery with your heart"
All sin.
No one gets in without the sacrifice of Jesus.
