If a serial killer accepts Jesus Christ as his personal savior on his death bed, can he go to heaven?

Question

Thank you for your answers. My opinion is closest to moddyalm. I think it would be extremely unfair for a serial killer to go to heaven just because he accepted JC on his death bed. What kind of mess is that. It's not fair. It's not fair to the victims who may not have had the same chance, and its not fair to others who spent a life time of doing good and may not be christians. It doesnt make sense. My friends question what you've been taught.

Answer 1

Only God will decide this

Answer 2

There's a parable where this guy comes up on a bunch of men clearing a field. He approaches the overseer and asks if there's work for him. The overseer sends him out into the field with the other workers. At the end of the day everyone is paid. They all got a week's wages. Even the guy who showed up on the last day got paid for a week. The other workers were angry that someone who worked one day got the same pay.
That is how it is with salvation. Whether you trust Christ as Lord and Savior at 10 years old or at 90, you still get the same reward: ETERNITY WITH GOD.
I would not wait until I'm my death bed to make the decision. We never know if we'll make it to a death bed or we will be taken in the blink of an eye. Friend of mine trusted Christ at 5 years old. She was in an accident that took her life just after her 16th birthday (not her fault, by the way, so save it). She thought she had a whole life ahead of her and was already talking about what college to go to (William & Mary).
Anyone can be saved.
There were 2 serial killers not too long ago: TED BUNDY and CHARLES JACKSON. Both were sentenced to die in the electric chair. Jackson calmly walked to his death. Bundy kicked and screamed all the way there. Both had professed Christ as Lord and Savior. I believe BUNDY was playing the RELIGION CARD, myself.
Do ONLY Christians go to heaven? Read Romans 2:12-15 and decide what the Bible says.
PRACTICALTHOUGHT seems to have been influenced by the Jehovah's Witnesses in what he says. The 144,000 will be MALE JEWISH VIRGINS who will EVANGELIZE THE WORLD..not go to heaven and rule.

Answer 3

Dosen't Seem Fair does it!

YES, that is How Much "ForGiveness" Jesus Christ, Risen from the Dead---Provided.

Now, you Have to Say YES to Jesus to Take Advantage of this Forgiveness.

Now Who is going to say "YES" to Jesus and Take Advantage of this---and Leave all of the Judging Up to Jesus, and just make Sure You Get to Heaven?

Answer 4

Yes, I believe he ultimately will go to heaven. Jesus accepted the repentance of the thief on the cross. Jesus accepted the repentance of Saul (Paul) of Tarsus. Acts 2:21 says, ". . .whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." I John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." You may want to read this next passage for clarity, but I John 4:15, 17 says, "Whosoever shall confess tthat Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. . . . Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."

Answer 5

No, he will go to the grave and wait there for a resurrection back to life on earth in God's new system of things on a cleasned earth under God's Kingdom rule with Christ Jesus as king. There when he is resurrected, he will have the opportunity to show genuine repentance and accept Jesus as his savior and be baptised. Only a select few go to heaven, Jesus called them a little flock. A little flock of only 144,000 go to heaven to serve as priests of God and as associate kings with Christ Jesus. The rest of obedient mankind who exercise faith in Jesus and do the will of God remain on earth for eternity. There are many Scriptures that back this up but many people will not believe and for that they will perish, and that is a shame because they refuse accurate knowledge even when told just like the ones who will thumbs down my answer.

Answer 6

God is strick, but fair and will forgive sinners only if they show remorse and guilt. By showing guilt and remorse you will be showing god that you have a heart. Also if you are truely sorry for the sins that you have commited. You must tell the truth of your crime. And lastly if you are forgived by the victims, the victims friends and family, and yourself.

Answer 7

As a Christian Catholic i believ he will not because he was a serial killer, which means he did not do deeds in accordance with God, but a protestant will tell you yes because you only need to accept Jesus to go to heaven

Answer 8

If his heart is true, and only God knows this, then, yes, he will be forgiven and go to heaven. While I in no way know the truth behind this, it is said that Jeffrey Dahmer, while in prison, before his execution, was born again into the Lord.

Answer 9

Yep, whilst i became in that faith "Born returned Christian", i became advised i ought to do something and nonetheless get into Heaven as long as i became saved. i became advised that mom theresa might pass to hell via fact she became Catholic, yet that Jeffrey Dahmer, Hitler, etc ought to pass to Heaven in the event that they simply "got here across jesus" and have been saved earlier they died. great faith huh? The contradiction there is, in case you connect their church, replace into 'saved' and then tell them "by the way i'm in a loving longterm committed dating with somebody of a similar gender" , they permit you to understand "you're no longer a actual christian". even even with the undeniable fact which you have been supposedly "saved" a minute earlier. this sort of Christian relatively loves telling different Christians that they are no longer actual Christians, relatively Catholics, they hate Catholics for some reason. I almost contemplate whether it fairly is their ego, via fact their ego is fairly huge, perhaps it fairly is that the Catholic church is 'larger' than them, lol. besides i pass off on tangents right here.

Answer 10

yes, if he sincerely repents and accepts Jesus as his Savior. It's similar to the thief on the cross. Jesus said to him, today you'll be with me in paradise.

Answer 11

This is about the Son of Sam killer. It's completely asinine. http://www.thesonofhope.com/
