To accept Christ, all you have to do is: admit that you are a sinner + ask Him into your life/heart, but really mean it...don't just do it to escape the judgment to come!
No..you can't accept Him after you die! There is this life on earth..now, and when you die..you immediately go to heaven or hell,depending on if you have made this choice or not. And no one knows when death will come to him! The Bible says: "Today is the day of salvation". So it is now your choice.

I dont think a person can make a choice to accept jesus after death. But m aybe they can b eing that accepting jesus is more a spirtial thing. its deep within. you have to know and feel that you want him to be your lord and savior. But the fact that one can accept jesus after death is not most likley. once you die and your soul crosses over you judgement starts. there is no time to change the things you done while you were alive, trying to repent, or accept jesus. whats done is done. and its your job to fall and confess.

Yes, but it will take a very long time.
Jesus has apostles on the other side, just like here, spreading the gospel & if someone gets baptized here in your name after you die you do have the chance to accept Jesus or deny Him.

No you cannot receive this after you die because the wages of sin is death. Choose the right road before you die. You may receive Jesus Christ right now just by asking God the Father to forgive you of your sins and to come into your life, right now in Jesus Name Amen. Being baptized and receiving the Holy Ghost.

Primoa19 is correct. There is no "waiting room" or "temporary holding place" where people can look back on their lives, listen to what is out there, then make a final decision at that time. Now is the time; tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Waste no time and pick up the Bible, talk to a pastor or priest, and begin the process of re-evaluating your life, deciding about whether or not you choose to accept Jesus' message and promise, or....
sad thought. Please don't second-guess when it comes to your soul's path in eternity.

No, you cannot accept after death. Your time is NOW. Scripture makes it very clear that it is appointed everyone once to die, then after that, the judgment. Read the parable of the rich man and Lazarus for confirmation on this point.

One confesses Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, their Lord & Savior. One believes in their heart He shed His Blood for the remission of ones sins and raised from the dead.
For with the mouth one confesses unto salvation. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness. The Mouth one confesses Jesus Christ shed His own blood for the remission of ones sins and He is ones Lord. With the heart one believes He raised from the dead victoriously for us.
After a person dies, and had rejected the Good News when presented correctly/ spiritually, then it is too late. But one can even confess Jesus Christ Lord and believe in their heart on their death bed. It is Gods will that none will perish, but all would come to repentance & receive everlasting life.

Can you eat that last dinner after you are dead? To accept Jesus Christ is like that dinner you have to know that he is there and learn about him, then ask him to enter your life and wash away your sins. Then like with the dinner you will be full inside and out.

Last question first, no your choice has to be made during this lifetime, no second chances, which makes our choices very important.
Next question:
First of all by believing in Him.
Secondly by simply coming to God in prayer, admiting that you have done things wrong, telling God you repent (repent means to turn from, to change direction) of your sins, asking God to forgive you, and asking Jesus to become your Lord and Saviour.
Seems very simple and that is because it is, many today make the mistake of making it more complicated through religion, through having to do certain things at certain times and so on.
Hope this answers your question.

No,
I ask you, are you a sinner? Have you ever lied, stolen, lusted, coveted, or been angry with someone unjustly? Have you ever offended God in any way? If so, then you have sinned. Your sin is against God because you have broken His law. Also, because He is infinite, your offense to Him is infinite. You are not capable of appeasing an infinite God because you are a sinner. Nothing you can do can undo the damage caused by your sins.
