Jeffrey Dahmer and David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) are a few that claimed to have found God. I'm a Christian and I believe that I will see them in heaven. It doesn't bother me at all, because anyone can go to heaven.

Paul is making a point by saying works don't get a person into Heaven or into Hell. Eternal life is a totally free gift.

I have to confess, I don't. I still struggle with the understanding that evil people can end up in the same heaven as myself when i try all my life to live as God would want me to. It is not always easy to live as God chooses and then to have someone who didn't follow Godly ways decide from fear on the death bed to call to God. Well, that is still difficult for me. I wish I was a better person and could say differently but this is one issue that still distrubs me.

if these two actually have had a conversion of the heart, then they will be in heaven, and we will be praising Jesus together for dying on the cross to save us from our sins- I may not be a serial killer, however I am a sinner, only saved by grace. If Dahmer and Berkowitz are not truly converted they will not be there.

Yes, I am. I wish all the killers would make it to heaven like god hopes. We all are sinners because we use our free will wrong. The heaven is going to be this perfect and safe place with peace and harmony because in heaven we do not have our free will anymore and God's will be done.

Dear Stevie,
Maybe it will help to think about this: NO HUMAN BEING that I meet in heaven will be there because they deserve to be there.
The people who I meet in heaven will be those who already acknowledged on earth that they are sinners in need of a Savior. Not only did they acknowledge that they need a Savior but they accepted Jesus Christ as their LORD and Savior.
I know that my heavenly Father does not want anybody to be eternally separated from Him but I also know that He is not just going to wave a magic wand.
Grace is free but it cost Jesus his life.
For His glory,
JOYfilled

We will only see the purity in each other, there will be no negative in heaven. Considering I didn't/don't know them in life I probably won't know them in heaven. Everyone goes to heaven....it's not a choice, Jesus died for ALL men.

no body will be what they were when they were here on earth when they get to heaven. everyone that gets into heaven will be perfectly sinless. if you see jeffrey dahmer in heaven he will no longer be a serial killer that would have been left with his earthly body.

Dude, I understand what you are saying but you should probably becareful how you emphsize that.
Anyone can say that they are christian but paul makes it clear about who can enter into heaven....it does not include those who are hypocrites, murderers, thieves etc.
They can have a past with those things but they cannot still be doing them, professing to be a christian. That is not biblical.

Stevie your Question insinuates that Heaven is a Dumping Ground for Anything Bad or Useless.
Paul wrote: “What! Do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men . . . will inherit God’s kingdom.” (1 Cor. 6:9-11) Are you Suggesting he was Wrong with the " Unrighteous " Statement?

in spite of you do make confident your soul is saved by applying calling on Jesus for forgivness in the previous you die. Your soul burning for eternity in soreness and torment is worst than any hypothetical temporary burning of your flesh or temporal physique. flow deeper and attain greater and Jesus will keep you. Love - your bro who met Jesus!
