I've just tortured and killed your entire family. I've also been sentenced, but I've SINCERELY repented - in a big way - and accepted Jesus as my personal savior while on death row. I'm going to heaven, right?

Apparently.
That doesn't make any sense that a murderer who repents and asks jesus into their life will go to heaven but a non christian whos only crime is not believing in christian beliefs wouldn't.
Bull ****!!!!!

I asked some xian the same thing years ago, and compared the killer to someone who had spent their entire life being nice to people yet did not believe in their (Christian) god. The xian replied that the sadistic killer who had repented would go to heaven, while the peaceful, social, kind non believer would not.
A loving god? Sounds like a physchotic despot to me!

Accepting Jesus has nothing to do with salvation. It is a work that you do and therefore has no spiritual value. Saul of Tarsus did not accept Christ before being saved on the road to Damascus. He was saved because it was God's good pleasure to save him, according to the doctrine of election.
Pew Potato, You answer well enough untill you come to the part about our having to have faith to be saved. The Bible clearly teaches us that faith is a work that we do(1Th 1:3, 2Th 1:11)and therefore can have no part in our salvation. Faith is a fruit of the spirit that manifests itself in the life of a believer AFTER salvation.

the belief is that none of our works has any which potential different than the undesirable ones. God curiously will not be able to stand to be in the presence of sin, however Jesus became into able to do it... How peculiar. besides, there are distinctive greater properly-studied and logical believers obtainable who say that Hell is only non-existence. people who reject God (even after seeing him, because a lot of those believers think of they get of project to believe in the tip) are basically able to harming themselves and others, so they are annihilated. eternal torment does not make experience, as that's neither merciful nor purely (

Absolutely. But you won't repent and come to God unless God calls you .
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
John 6:44
Jesus Christ died in our place when He was crucified on the cross. We deserved to be the ones placed on that cross to die because we are the ones who live sinful lives. But Christ took the punishment on His own self in our place. “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). He took our place as a substitute for what we rightly deserved.
We could not pay the price of sin on our own. Or if we did, we would simply be punished and placed in hell for all eternity. But Christ took the initiative to come to earth in the form of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, to pay for the price of our sins. Because He did this for us, we may now have the opportunity to not only have our sins forgiven, but the opportunity to spend an eternity with Him. In order to do this, we must place our faith in what Christ did on the cross. We cannot save ourselves; we need a substitute to take our place.

Look at the life of Paul before he was blindsided by Christ. He persecuted Christians.
Redemption is for all who truly want it.
Knowing the power of redemption, I would be happy for anyone who finds that peace and understanding.

The biblical answer would be yes.
Just picture that reunion in heaven when the family you massacred finds out you made it in. Heaven or not I bet that they are P.O.'d.
