Suppose I kill an innocent person today, but a year from now I find Jesus and become saved through his "grace". The next day I get hit by a car and die suddenly.
Does this mean I get to go to heaven, even though I had killed an innocent person?
Would I get my heavenly reward? And be right up there with all the "good" folks who hadn't murdered a soul?

The Quran is clear on this issue:
Kill unbelievers:
Sura 9:123. O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
Don't be friends with Jews or Christians:
Sura 5:51: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your allies and protectors: They are but allies and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

you will go to heaven but you will have to answer to Jesus at the judgment seat of Christ. there you get your rewards for good service to God and loose your rewards for the sin you have done, that doesn't mean that you loose salvation it only means that after you leave the judgment seat of Christ you will be right with God .even if that means that you are in the negative because you have no good service to get rewards. the people with rewards get higher places in heaven. but it is better to be the lowest in heaven than to be the highest in hell

simply by fact the bible verse think ofyou've have been given pulled is out of context. The Lord is telling Samuel to break a certian tribe that have been doing their marvelous to torture the properly paintings of the jews. God tells Samuel in verse 2. "that's what the Lord Almighty says,'i visit punish the Amalkites for what they did to Israel whilst they waylaid them as they have been given here up from Egpyt." This was once a centred punishment for a centred crime. consequently it was once easiest suitable in that important subject. approximately the regulation or the prophets, individuals concept Jesus have been given here to tell them that was once all incorrect, the regulation was once incorrect and the Prophets were incorrect jointly as making their prophecies approximately the messiah. that's what He meant jointly as He reported that He did no longer come to break the regulation and the Prophecies, in spite of the undeniable fact that to fulfill the prophicies and to allow surely surely everyone understand He was once the only they might been finding forward to.

This is a double-bind question--it's the equivalent of "when did you stop beating your wife?". If one answers "yes", then one says that murderers can be forgiven. If one answers "no", then one says that God is without mercy and does not forgive.
Like all such questions, it is merely a cheap rhetorical trick that bespeaks to the lack of ethics on the part of the asker and is and never has been a serious inquiry.

If you truly meant it yes, God didn't say only those that never killed will inherit the Kingdom. He said (paraphrasing) if you come and ask for forgiveness and believe in His name you will be saved. So it's entirely up to you wether you believe or not.

Yes, you would go to heaven. And there are no "good" folks in heaven. ALL fall short of the glory of God. That's why Jesus came - so we as sinners can be washed clean of our sin and be with the Father for eternity. That's how much God loves us...the wages of sin is death, but God loves us so much that He was willing to die for us - to pay the penalty for that sin Himself so we could be with Him.

Your sin will be forgiven you if you seek forgiveness and repent and be truly sincere in it.And your sin will be forgotten by God. But you will still be judged on your works

You would go to heaven IF you had TRULY repented but your rewards would be much lessened.

yeah....
if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.. 1John 1:9
God's grace is far greater than our failures. it doesnt matter how terrible our offenses or how often we've failed---- God blots out every sin when we SINCERELY ask for mercy........
repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord...........
