Ok 2 convicted child molesters. Let's just say for arguement sake. They are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. One was saved a few years before he's conviction but the other was not and basically said he did it. You got me.
Do both men go to hell?

If one is saved and truly repents, then he will not go to hell. God can save anyone, even the worst of sinners!
And it is through hearing His gospel--many hear it, receive it and are saved, and many hear it, and walk away--not believing. But it is the one who is SAVED, that will inherit the kingdom of God.
God knows who are His sheep---and even the worst of sinners have been saved, and have great testimonies to share!
Luke 15:7
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

why do people think you go to Hell just because you sinned? You go to Hell because you knowingly remained in a state of rejection towards the Lord Jesus Christ. If that saved guy repented, he's technically alright with God, but he should make it right with those he hurt.
so, depends....

Nobody can judge whether you go to hell. It doesn't matter what we have done, God can forgive us if we ask. If I am a christian all my life and I die saying a lie, commiting adultry any sin whatsoever I'll go to hell since I died in my sins. If I have been a killer, rapist or any other kind of criminal and with my last breaths I sincerely repent for all that I have done with all my heart and ask God to forgive me I will go to heaven. The things is that nobody knows when they are going to die, and God knows your heart. Nobody can play with God. A repentance is done with all your heart and God knows if you are true. The point of this is if you die in your sins, it doesn't matter which one sin is sin and according to the Bible is the only thing that separates us from God, you will go to hell. If you die with a repented heart you will go to heaven.

If the first guy who has accepted Christ as their lord and Savior and truly meant it, I feel like he wont go to hell. Because it stats in the bible that God already knows EVERYTHING from our past, present and future. And has forgave us for all those sins we did are doing and yet to do. Only if we accept him into our lives. If he asked God for forgiveness and meant it in his heart * and God knows if you mean it or not* Then I think he will be saved.

Well, the one who was saved needs to repent of that sin and the other one needs to be saved before he leaves this world forever.
The believer will go to heaven. Hebrews 7;27. Jn.6;37; John 10:29
The unsaved person who receives Christ can also go to heaven just like anyone else who receives Jesus as their Savior....

Salvation is salvation, if the man was saved He is exempt from his sins. He indeed, is saved. That doesn't mean he can keep sinning, it would bring in doubt his sincerity about salvation in the first place.

If the one who was "saved" accepts Christ, then repents and never again repeats the sin. If he continues to live and grow in the spirit, keeping God's Commandments. He will not perish.

Who are we to judge?They both must seek forgiveness from the Lord and they they have to deal with what ever punishment is given to them, But remember that The Lord Said "Who ever believes in me will not perish."There fore if the person asks forgiveness from the Lord, It seems to me that he will not go to "Hell"

No-one goes to hell who sincerely repents of his sin.
