1st if the rapist raped the woman before he saved. He will go heaven cos he should repent all when he received Christ. Remember the robber who also crucified beside Jesus,
"42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." (Luke 23: 42-43)
If you repent at your last min you will still able to enter gate of heaven.
but if he saved after that he rape the woman.. he shall not be spare, cos we christian have been teach to love one another... not rape one another! God will still judge, hey.. doesn't mean you are christian 100% will go heaven ok? You have to live a standard like Christ. Do think Christ will want you to rape or steal?? You still have to work for God, to gain the reward in heaven.
As for the woman.. either she rape or not.. she didn't receive Christ. She will not be spare... and be send to hell.

If a person does this kind of thing he is NOT saved. If the person that gets raped is not saved before they die yes they will go to hell. The only the way the rapist can be saved is if he asks for forgiveness with a sincear heart with the intent to never do that again. Gets baptized in JESUS name and receives the Holy Ghost. If the person raped wants to go to Heaven they must also be baptized in JESUS name and receive the Holy Ghost

If one believes in those concepts of hell vs. heaven with Jesus, then one would normally also believe in God as Ruler.. in which case all of the "who goes where" decisions, would surely be His! The rapist and rape victim are human beings, and they will both have done good AND bad things in their lives, like the rest of us.

SAVED: I LOVE THE WORD SAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SAVED
saved from what?
sin
now what happens when he goes back to sin?
lets look in the bible my friend:
2 peter 2:20-22
v20 and when people escape from the wickedness of the world by knowing our lord and saviour Jesus christ and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again they are worse off than before
v21 they would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live holy life
v2 they prove the truth of this proverb: " a dog returns to its vomit"
ans another says: "a washed pig returns to mud.
so my my friend it does not mean once saved always saved, we have to work on it daily
he won't go to heaven unless he truly repents
as for the rape victim if she did not know god/what sin is she'll go to heaven. but if she did know the truth and was not saved she'll still go down

One really has little or nothing to do with the other. Everyone is responsible for their own salvation. If the rapist is "saved" that means he's not only truly repented for what he has done, but has turned himself in to the authorities, and is probably doing time in prison. Otherwise he's probably not going to be forgiven by God. Part of God's forgiveness and acceptance of repentance is the person doing their part to make amends for what they've done. In the case of criminal activity that would include paying whatever penalty or sentence is imposed by the secular authorities.
As for the victim, as I said before, she is responsible for her own salvation.
The answer to your question is yes, if she is not saved, she will go to hell, and if the former rapist who has repented will go to heaven. I don't see a problem with any of this, or why someone would give it a "thumbs down".

John 3 :16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son the who so ever believes in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life.
We all know the way to Heaven.
Many are chosen but few are saves.
Without Jesus, yes there is no Heaven no matter who you are.
Why?
The Greatest Love Song
Do You Know Jesus
By Mike McCracken
(chorus)
Do you know Jesus?
And how He loves us
How He died just to save us
Just because, He loves us
Judas betrayed Him
Who once was His friend
They beat, flogged and scourged Him
To where He didn’t look human
A crown of thorns on His head
Just another place where He bled
Humiliated in every way
Why, they even tore His clothes away
And there wasn’t any time loss
To where, they made Him carry the cross
To drive nails through His hands
He’s more than just a man
And Jesus still loved them
After all they did to Him
He did this for us too
When He said, “Father forgive them,
for they know not what they do.”
Jesus said that there is no greater love that a man can give than that he lay down his life for another. Jesus did this for all those who believe. I wrote this out of the Bible so everyone will know how great God’s love is.
How Much did Jesus love us?
Jesus stretched his arms out as far as he could and died for us.

This is a hypothetical question.
If the rapist came to know Christ as Saviour, because of conscience and love of Christ would admit it and suffer the consequence of his sin. Paul was imprisoned at Rome for no due reason and yet when he wrote the epistle to the Romans he told them to follow the authority of man. God instituted the human government to punish law breakers. If it is death penalty, the rapist should abide by the due process of the law.
Proverbs 28:13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Romans 9:15
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Hi there let me try.....
If a rapist is saved, in other words he has confessed his sins as it reads in 1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithfull and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Have you ever questioned Christ's forgiveness? If so, I have good news for you. Christ's death, in your place, is the basis for your forgiveness. Because of Christ's substitutionary death on the cross, your forgiveness is not merely a hope. It is fact!
Christ paid the price for all of your sins - totally, once and for all. If you are a Christian, all of your sins - past, present, and future - have been forgiven. You cannot add anything to what Christ has already done for you. Pleadings, tears, personal efforts, and religious ritual cannot reconcile you to God. That has already taken place - the moment you confessed your sins and placed your faith in Christ as your Savior and Lord.
Hebrews 10 proclaims:
Under this new plan we have been forgiven and made clean by Christ's dying for us once and for all.
For by that one offering he made forever perfect in the sight of God all those whom he is making holy.
Now, when sins have once been forever forgiven and forgotten, there is no need to offer more sacrifices to get rid of them (Hebrews 10:10,14,18 TLB).
So the rapist has been forgiven but he must still be punished the laws of the country.
The victim also had a choice and if she did not choose, the yes she will go to hell.
It was very sad that she had been raped but that has nothing to do with her future choices. She will have to confess her sins to God (not her priest) for He is faithfull and just to forgive her sins and bring her in right standing with God the Father.
The choice is up to her.

By the same logic, many of the Nazis from WW2 will be in heaven while their victims will be punished in hell. It takes a loving god to reward genocide.

Yes. What does being a victim have to do with eternal salvation?
It's about asking for, and truly wanting forgiveness. Being a victim of rape does not make you a righteous or good person, it just makes you a victim. No better or worse than anybody else, and certainly not welcome to heaven just because you had a bad time on earth.
