If a person dies with unconfessed sin who is a believer and has been Baptized what do you believe happens to this person? Are they condemned to Hell? Are they granted the Kingdom of Heaven (remeber that they are considered to be saved)? Does this change anything about where they will be spending enternity?
By the way, I understand the fact that you aren't God and it isn't you place to judge but please don't say that. Either answer the question or don't. .but don't avoid it.

When i say "unconfessed sin" i don't mean unconfessed sin to another person like a presist i mean like without repenting to God.

only GOD knows the right place for every one may be one good deed would be the key to heaven and may be one bad activity would take them to the hell .. but GOD knows the real thing in what conditions a person has commit some thing wrong .. and we the people who are alive should prey for those who are not with the belief that GOD is listening to us and after giving the punishment for their bed deed may he bless them with heaven .. may be our prayer would be help full for our loved once .. so never say a bed word for those who have died one day we all have to go and then we'll get together on the day of jugdment with our deeds in our hands.

Of course they can still go to Heaven. The requirements for Heaven aren't strict black and white. If God truly believes you are a good person and believe in him and Jesus Christ, then you can still go to Heaven.

The Bible says we are washed clean by the blood of the Lamb before we enter heaven. So somewhere between death and heaven, the fullness of Christ's grace is applied to our souls, giving us full and complete purity before we enter heaven.
It's up to the Lord who receives this cleansing, how long it takes (instantaneous or over a period of time or outside of time altogether), how it works, etc.

You sound catholic. Catholics are not saved Christians. If you believe that Jesus, who is God, died for your sins and rose again, you are saved. God never says to "confess every sin". We can't remember everything, it is impossible. Baptism doesn't save you either. Believing the above saves. you.

My view is that "sin" is a concept created by humans to manipulate and control other humans. Confession is irrelevant. It is how you have lived this life that determines what happens and where you go when you check out.

Unrepentent mortal sin will send you to Hell. Notice the word "unrepentent". This means the fault lies with the individual, not God. He is always forgiving, but do we accept His forgiveness?

Unconfessed sin of a believer is irrelevant. A believer is dead to sin.

When everyone dies, they are dead for a long time. Heaven & hell is debatable. NO-ONE is perfect & it is no-one's right to assume where we will end up. I believe we all end up in the ground or in a box full of ashes. Nothing more.

Confession is a Catholic tradition nad has no meaning in other religions. The Bible does nor support it.

It is important to keep sin confessed before God.............but He's not trying to send us to hell! If you have received Christ, you are sealed by HIM........................and you will be in heaven if you die and haven't confessed some particular sin.
Good grief.........God wants you in not out........
