Umartins1: The question is:

is there HEAVEN?? And does HELL exists??

No, the above is not the question! The premise of this thread is that 'Heaven exists'! The question is whether death-bed repentance will take them that heaven! Whether heaven and exists is on/for another thread, not this one! wink

If humans cannot control how they sleep and wake up what more of saying any deathbed repentance? salvation comes from God,he alone grants those we choose paradise and the opportunity to repent.

You are all blinded by foreign faiths...... What if we're the early colonisers? Wouldn't the so-called british be worshipping our gods?

I know that someone, somewhere is responsible for the moving air, for the sea-water, for the birds in the sky. You cant tell me to accept Jesus before I CAN be saved.

We're in the 21st century. Everyone does what pleases him and what he deems fit. I cant be forced to accept the religion of those that enslaved us.

How would our nation had been had we sticked to our traditional beliefs?

If its a MUST that I must accept Jesus before I can inherit heaven, then all MUSLIMS and other religions believers are heading to HELL..... Huh?

I have seen people in the face of panic, they become ode and do not even remember what it is they want to do.
So when death approaches speedily, some people will panick and before they can even think of calling the name of jesus, they are already dead.

That theif on the cross, he might be hearing about jesus for the first time. Different from those that know but want to try to cheat God, and God is not to be mocked.

Anyway, from this thread, I can see that many people are planning to do last minute repentance while they wish to continue serving the devil now?

Well, I wish you all the best. As for me, I believe that repentance is now.

And to those that believe their faith without Jesus will suffice, well. . .

When we talk about death-bed repentance, we should have it in mind that it all depends on grace. The grace Peter has may not be the grace Paul has, so the fact that this person had the opportunity of death-bed repentance does not men everybody has that opportunity. So while we are stilll alive, lets rfepent of our sins as much as we can, because no one knows what will happen the next moment.

Abeg help me tell them o. They want to outsmart God.
Immagine me, knowing all this, now decide to join aluminati, destroy a lot of people, mislead a whole lot, and then when the end is come. . .
God forbid

People want to live all their sinful lives to the fullest and still find shortcut to heaven.

Well, I am not your God. But be careful what you wish for.

Only the mercies of God that determines this o!...there are does who only at the point of death, realize their mistake and truly repent. Better to live a Godly life than to think you would have a last minute opportunity to repent.

This question does not exist, because what is called Heaven does not exist. Do you expect Christian heaven, Islam heaven, Hindu Heaven, etc ? What does exist, the last I checked, is realm and consciousness of higher vibration and energy where all souls rise to their threshold hierarchy based on their enlightenment, psychic awareness and spiritual upliftment while on the physical plane of existence, irrespective of religion. Infact, what we call angels, ghosts, gods, Gods are in continuous experiences and training and are growing as we also grow here.

DEATHBED REPENTANCE DOES NOT AND WILL NOT WORK. DO NOT BE FOOLED WHATEVER YOU SOW YOU WILL ALWAYS REAP IN THE NEXT LIFE OR THIS ONE ( GALATIANS 6 VS 7 ). THIS IS WHAT THE LORD THINKS ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE DONE EVIL AND REJECTED HIS NAME AND WANT TO USE DEATHBED REPENTANCE TO ABSOLVE THEMSELVES

The mystery of death lies in the fact that it comes when it is list expected!!! I believe that more than 90 percent of people who have died never expected it! A man who died of sickness most likely believed he would recover until he slipped into the coma of death, the man who died of accident of all kinds never knew what hit until he perhaps realised he had left the world! The other 10 percent who actually expected death 8 percent would be griped with fear, sorrow, saddness, pains, anger and even unstable mental condition etc to even remember to pray for forgiveness, 2 percent that is remaining that actually thought of repentance perhaps 1. 98 percent doubted whether they would ever find forgiveness after such awful life they lived, such doubt that nullifies prayers. At the end it is an insignificant number of 0.2percent or thereabout that actually can possible courageously confess their sins and sincerely repent to make it to heaven! The chance is usually thin to make heaven by death bed repentance, that is even when a person has a privilege of deathbed experience!!!
Re: Can Death-bed Repentance Lead A PersonTo Heaven? Many People Are Banking On This by pastormustwacc: 2:47pm On Oct 22, 2012
We read in newspapers where some people die b/a/n/g/i/n/g illegally and die there. The list is endless, and yes, when there is doubt, the prayer will not work.
And it is already an abomination to start with, because it is like trying to fool God. No way is it going to work, forget it.

Repent now!!!!

solomon111: I have always wondered.
But then i have read stories about demons shutting the mouth of people on their death-bed, in-order to prevent them from accepting christ.
But the other side to this story is that,what will they be looking for in heaven?
After having rejecting christ all their lives,won't they be out of place in the midst of saints who have served God all their lives.?
Would they have developed the humility,grace,love necessary for a christian to make a heaven,seeing as they only repented on their death-bed?.
All these should be considered.

It is very possible to have a death-bed repentance if God accords one that privilege just as he accepted the criminal who was crucified with him after he recognized Jesus as being righteous (Luke 23:40-43). But we should bear in mind that God cannot be deceived or mocked because he knows the intent and motives behind every of mans actions and thoughts.

As we all know that every soul has a guardian angel, so also the kingdom of darkness has a stalking demon assigned to every soul with the sole mission and objective of bringing that soul to HELL. To realize this task these assigned demons would do anything within and without their reach to draw the mans/souls attention away from his maker (GOD) and at the same time explore for ways to eliminate such man/soul from amongst the living, because once the man/soul stops living here on earth there would be no more hope for repentance. It would only be by the special grace of God if a man would have such opportunity to experience repentance at his death-bed.

If a person dies without salvation in Christ Jesus, it is the same demons that have stalked him throughout his lifetime on earth that would torment his soul in hell for eternity.

My advice is for every man to seek the proper means to please God while we are still living. Death comes unannounced, you don't know when it will call on you, so it is very important for one to always rededicate his life to God at all times, instead of living as if there's no God, and only waiting to make peace with him while on the death-bed, perhaps you don't get that privilege, because the same stalking demon that has always deceived you to turn your back on God will also be there present to claim your soul for themselves because you are their rightful property. Jesus is the only way, the only truth and life no one comes to the father except through him.

Yes, death bed repentance that is genuine
will lead a person to heaven. But unfortunately,
not everybody will get to the death bed to go
to heaven or hell.

Example, many people die by accident.

seyibrown: If their death-bed repentance is genuine, it could work ... but consider the parable in Luke 12:16 -20

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2012:%2016%20-%2020&version=NASB

[size=14pt]Luke 12:16-20[/size]
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
16 And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. 17 And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ 18 Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night [a]your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’


Looking at this parable, it is likely that they will not get a 'literal death-bed'. Their life may be taken in a second not leaving room for the repentance they had deliberately avoided all their life. Not everyone get's the chance to know they are going to be dead in the next minute. Nevertheless, God is ever merciful.
