it all depends on the quality of the repentance.

Repentance as a result of fear of hell does not count as repentance.

True Repentance should because one is remorseful of the act, and not because of fear of the punishement to be metted out.

Also repentance only removes the guilt associated with sin (that is forgiveness), it does not always remove the punishment due to the sin.

This is a most interesting threads, because i keep seeing christians that are planning to do true repentance - kinda like stage it at the last minute.

pastormustwacc: This has been brought to my concern because i just found out that so many categories of people are planning to use this "joker" at the last minute.

Let me be more clear on this by giving instances:

1. Christians cannot pray or even do their business as christians properly - so in short, they live like atheists, and plan to repent at the last minute.

2. People in other religion that though the know that the teachings of christ is the way, but they continue as they have always been, and plan to repent at last minute.

3. People involved in withcraft, satanism, and other form of occultism - that if they live, they will get killed ASAP. plan last minute repentance.

4. Atheists - some of them know the truth but deny it, but plan to repent at the last minute.

5. Hardenend criminals on deathrow, just before they get executed (afteral they dont have anything to lose)

6. Pastors who use our tithes and offerings to enrich themselves

7. And so many others.

Many people are very familiar with the gospel of the thief on the cross, and plan to use it as their gate-away.

Well, is this going to work or it is sheer waste of time?

Interesting Thread. several years ago, i had just become a Christian and was struggling to cope with tests and trials. i heard of a friend's friend who gave his heart to Christ and died 2 weeks later. i thought he was lucky. i wished i could stay in the world until 2weeks to my time to depart the earth and then give my heart to Christ. Then i gained admission into Unilag, i met these guys from BLW fellowship and got a copy of Rhapsody of Realities, this transformed my experience of Christianity with the Word. i began wishing i had been born again since and learning God's Word as it brought light and victory to me. It's 11 yrs up the line and i'm still so thrilled and excited to know God. Death-bed repentance isn't worth it, if anybody really knew what Christianity was (and yes its not a religion) and the glory of it, they would want it NOW and not wait till death bed. cheesy smiley wink

Remember also if you are planning to accept Christ at the eleventh hour, you could die at 10:30

Very interesting topic, but if you know what is right, then why postpone it until the last minute, or do you think that God, the Omniscient Supreme Being who knows the intent of our heart would casually look at a fellow's intent to steal, rob and do all sorts of atrocities, with hopes that they would repent at the last minute? I am not perfect and I pray to God to guide me in His Grace.

It may work, but its a risky strategy as a lot of people may experience sudden death, and no time to repent.

Deliberately doing evil with intention to cheat at the last minute may not be tolerated by God. You need to understand the context that the bad life was lived ignorance, and that the opportunity came only at the last minute. Repentance must be seen as sincere too. God forgives everyone however but those using this strategy are taking a risk.

Sure, death-bed repentance works; if it's genuine!
Re: Can Death-bed Repentance Lead A PersonTo Heaven? Many People Are Banking On This by pastormustwacc: 6:08am On Oct 23, 2012
Well, for those practising last minute repentance, i wish them the best. But i am not taking that option, we will see on the other side - wish you all safe Journey to heaven.

There is broad path and a narrow path, me see deathbed as the broad path that many will try to take, while few will take the narrow path of genuine repentance now now as they are reading this thread.

I will subscribe for renewing your mind daily, talking to God everyday, and not being afraid of death whenever it comes.

Sure,it works if it's from a genuine heart. The bible verse dat said "if any man even in d grave and raises up his hands frm d earth towards heaven,the Lord said will be saved" i knw i might not get dat bible portion very well. So it's beta 2 repent now dat we're in d day b4 the night comes. Bear in mind dat christainity is nt a religion as some pple call it.
Re: Can Death-bed Repentance Lead A PersonTo Heaven? Many People Are Banking On This by pastormustwacc: 8:22am On Oct 23, 2012
I have always been hinting at this in my threads, that there are people that practise real christianity as it should be,
and there are those that call themselves christians because they go to church and speak in tongues ONLY.

But, everyone deep deep down in their hearts know who they are really serving - despite what they put up to the public. That is why i still say it that Atheists are better than christians that live a lie.
Re: Can Death-bed Repentance Lead A PersonTo Heaven? Many People Are Banking On This by salt1: 1:02pm On Oct 23, 2012
Billyonaire and umartins, I wonder why u like to contribute on threads like this. Is something telling u at the back of ur minds that u cd be wrong?
Heaven and hell exist.less than a forthnight ago,my cousin who had been sick died but was sent back. He is still on admission in the hospital. Jesus took him and showed him the glories of heaven and asked him to tell us that He is coming quickly.
For those considering last minute repentance,do know that if u continue to change, ur heart can get so hardened that no remorse can be felt.
Belief alone doesn't guarantee heaven. Old things must pass away which is the New birth

Really Interesting topic I must say.

My comment is going to be succint. First nobody knows how he would die. There are slow deaths and there are sudden deaths. HIV AIDs is of course slow but how about auto, plane crash or boko haram lipsrsealed, Pretty first eh! If you are banking on the last minutes escape from hell to heaven, do you know how you would die? Whether slow or sudden...

There is a concept I read in a book titled "Dying testimonies of the Saved and Unsaved" (I can email this book to anybody that care). This book tells a story of about 100 people that once lived and some of the comments they made before they departed from this life. Some of them are christian, non-christians, etheists etc.

When God has given you enough time to repent and you refused and stuck to your guns, a time will come when His spirit will not continue to strive with you and you will loose the ability to repent though you are still alive. Yes you heard me, loose the ability to repent. That's one of the things you will learn from people that are about to die. When you get to this state, no matter how hard you try, you just cannot be remorseful and therefore cannot repent. Enough said. A word is sufficient for the wise.

And how do you know they are not terrorists? I called them terrorists for certain reasons (and those i am talking to understand) - there must be a reason i used the word terrorist, it did not just fall out of "my mouth" mistakenly.

Remeber that motive is what is importance. God is the one who sees the heart and if any one does last minute repentance dat is nt really genuine true and sincer...Den d person is a gunner o! But a person who does and is genuine, real...then dats so cool. Afterall, God intended purpose was dat evryone wud come into repentance and b saved thru Hi son Our Lord Jesus Christ! Whicheve, its still best we accept Jesus Christ as early as we receiv the good news becz dere are somany thing to enjoy as a Christain who knw his rights here on earth.
