And all who accept Jesus as their personal savior will go to heaven. Does that ment upon judgement day if while standing before God you repent and accept Jesus you can then enter heaven no matter what you did before death?
Is there a time limit on redemption?

Is the spirit not alive after the body dies then? Why is physical life more important that spiritual life?

Peter wrote that Jesus went to teach the spirits in prison between his death and resurrection. The purpose of this was to open missionary work for those who died without the gospel. They have an oppotunity to repent and come unto Christ.
Jesus also said that he will separate the sheep from the goats, and not all that call him Lord will enter into his kingdom.

More will accept Jesus but be found spiritually bankrupt when they stand before the Lord, and all they will hear is " I never knew you. Depart from me into everlasting darkness"
( Matt.7:21-23 ). Scripture is perfectly clear if you truly love the Lord you will obey His Word. A heart that belongs to the Lord knows no other way than applying His Word to their life, for it is Truth. He that keeps the commandments keeps his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die
( Proverbs 19:16 ). To disobey and delay accepting God is self-destructive.

There is no time limit but there are some requirements in the repentance process that will make redemption after mortal death difficult.

Most Christians feel you cannot repent after death, once you die there will be judgement on you (Hebrews 9:27). The scripture never concedes a "second chance" for sinners after death.

It is better to repent now before one dies, there is no repentance on the judgment day

Redemption is available to all as long as you are alive...when you're dead in your physical body it is too late...

There is no change of heart if you are dead.
