i have seen many times christians post that blasphemy is an unforgivable sin. so someone can murder as many innocent people as they want and be forgiven as long as they never say anything wrong against your god they get to go to heaven. so it is posible that hitler is going to be in heaven?

You have a completely flawed understanding of forgiveness. Forgiveness is predicated on the person acknowledging that they have, indeed, committed a sin before God, and, understanding that, seek repentance from that sin in order to receive God's forgiveness. I'm not aware of Hitler ever having acknowledged anything he did as sinful in the eyes of a Holy God, regardless of how many people point to his "catholic roots". Hitler committed suicide, so the question as stated with him as an example is moot.
As for the sin of blasphemy, that is basically God's way of saying 'You've passed the point of no return with your big mouth". The pharisees who said that Christ cast out demons by the prince of demons had conferred the ultimate insult on Him, and as a result had sealed their doom. In essence, they equated the Holy Spirit's workings as being no different than that of Satan-- a big no, no. There is a point beyond which God will let someone go. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is that point. Anyone who does so now may just as well end themselves and skip the "christmas rush" as they say. They have screwed themselves and crafted their doom for all of eternity. That's what they get for being "cool" for the herd.

Regretfully, there is a possibility, but it is most unlikely, Hitler was not a man of faith. In fact he is a shining example of what one can do when they no longer feel that there will be a judgment day. Also, blasphemy is not quite right, it is blasphemy against the Holy spirit. Mocking God's spirit, making fun of God's loving Spirit, is the unforgivable sin. As well, keep in mind, your example is very improbable, most people who do as you have described, have no interest in forgiveness.

It is not for us to "judge" who will be/will not be in heaven. That is up to God.
It is the "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit." These people reach a stage where they cannot differentiate between right and wrong. And so they cannot ask for forgiveness, a prerequisite for forgiveness.
"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."(Rev. 21:8).

...you obviously have little knowledge of Gods Word... Yeshua, having forgiven the prostitute of her sins clearly said that "your sins are forgiven, now go and sin no-more"... Putting God to the "test" is not a good place to be... You can receive forgiveness but "go an sin no more"...Gods Word clearly explains that ..."My Spirit will not always strive with man"... you can be given over to a reprobate mind and be eternally condemned... (God forbid)... Study the Scriptures and learn His Word............B.T.Y. I'm not a Christian...I'm a believer in the teaching of a young Hebrew Carpenter who specializes in "home improvement" and "fire-insurance".....

No.
Only a small number are chosen to have a heavenly future.
(Revelation 20:4) And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years.
I do not think hitler will qualify.

According to the Bible, all sins can be forgiven except one: "Insulting the Holy Spirit".
As to the case of Hitler, no one can tell if he is in hell or heaven.
Gob Bless you,

Some people do not go on to heaven because they are afraid of God not forgiving them. They remain 'stuck' as ghosts. Also, your avatar is rather scary to me, perhaps you need a halo or something to soften the look.

I think Hitler was a closet Christian. I mean, he DID deny his homosexuality his entire life. So, yeah, he's going to Heaven.
Edit:

Yeah, but don't you get automatic entry into Heaven for killing a gay? I could swear I read that in the Bible somewhere.

You've never heard of the deathbed confessional?
Second question: Someone deleted you? Why? I've never seen you do anything other than ask straight questions or give straight answers. (In response to your username, and assuming that "reborn" means you had to create a new account. If my assumption is wrong, just ignore me!)
