Jeez, there are so many things wrong with that question!!
Gandhi (by the way, this is how you spell his name) wasn't Xtian, he was a Hindu, so he wouldn't be going to your "heaven". Hitler....hmm, well that is something I think is flawed in your (Xtian) religion......do as you want, then just before you die, recant and you will be saved....
I know it is within your belief system that only repentant Christians go to "heaven"......but, that sure seems to leave out ALOT of other people in the world. So everyone else is doomed to damnation???
This world would be better without religion.....just believe in a higher power, if you so choose, do well by others and respect all living things...............then you will go to/convert/transform/segue ..........someplace nice"

The Bible says that He who believes and is baptized shall not suffer the second death, but have everlasting life. We may not feel it is "fair" for someone to be saved at the last minute or on their death bed, but Christ said that if a person accepts Him as their savior and the Son of God, then He will acknowledge that person at judgment and the person will be saved. Repenting and accepting Christ on a death bed doesn't guarantee salvation. You can't just pay lip service, the Lord knows what's in your heart. If your faith in Him is in your heart and not just your mouth, then you can be saved.
Think about the parable where a man hires laborers for a certain amount for a day's work. At noon, the man hires some more people at the same rate for the day's work. An hour before quitting time men are hired for the same rate to work the remainder of the day. When the men who were hired in the morning complained about the men who only worked an hour the boss pointed out that those hired in the morning were satisfied with the wages offered at the time they were hired. It was the choice of the boss how much would be paid and if they were not satisfied, they could have turned the job down. So, it doesn't matter when the Lord is accepted, just as long as He is.
The Lord wants everyone to be saved and not a single soul to be lost.

Being Pagan I can only give you what I have learned of their faith.
If I understand them correctly as LONG as YOU ACCEPT JESUS in the end and repent for all your SINS to him in the end, you will be forgiven and allowed into heaven. That is how Christians view it I am positive.
Am I wrong Christians if so please correct me, I do not mean to pass along the wrong information of your faith.

Jesus, himself said, "I am the way, the truth and the life and no man come to the father except through me". People who wear the name of Christ are called Christians, therefore it goes to reason that to enter heaven you must be a Christian.

From the Bible, Jesus is quoted as saying "no one comes to the Father except by me." With His Father reigning on the throne of heaven, the in order to get to heaven, the Bible says we must be believers in Jesus Christ. That would mean that only Christians can make it to heaven.

not if you not a christian!!! well at least according to them!!
but i wonder about people who have never even been given the chance to learn about jesus or christianity like indigeneous tribes to papa new guinea or something like that. if heaven and christianity is real then its not fair to them b/c they are never even given the chance to accept christ into their life...
this is a big problem in my eyes and i haven't recvd a rational answer to this question from any christian.. it is one of many reasons i am not a christian!!

Every soul is precious to the creator.
Contrary to popular belief God is smart enough to have a plan for the salvation of each and every one of us that is going to work 100 percent of the time.
Any other idea is a simple lack of faith.

Many people will tell you that.
I believe that you are put on this earth to make it a better place, and you will be judged more on the reasons why you did things than what you actually did.

The Bible says that we do not know to whom grace is given. I've been told by Christians that that means not all believers go and not all unbelievers don't. It is a mystery that they have to leave up to their god. At least, that's what they told me. What do I know?
