From your story, if she had confessed her sins and prayed for forgiveness by herself with her mouth with a sincere heart, God will her

of cos, just like the thief at the cross. he made heaven. but some deaths are so sudden that it may not give us time to repent hence the need to be always prepared.
may she rest in peace.

I lost a relative. She was seriously sick . We had prayed to God to forgive her of her short comings and sins on earth, before she gave up the ghost in the middle of the night.

Of Course! As Long as she Repented and Accepted JESUS Christ Before she Closed her eyes in Death, She is right now at the Feet of JESUS..

No

If she had any unconfessed sin before she died, she is going to hell straight, not minding if she's been righteous all along.
Prove that people are going to hell or are currently burning in hell fire.

That is what my Sunday School teacher used to teach me.

Have you ever asked for prove? Perhaps it's time you find yourself a new teacher.

I don't think intercession will work. He or she can only make heaven if asked directly not someone doing it

Shut up. Are you God?

Can you Christians always express your opinions without insults?

I'm telling you that my Sunday School teachers used to teach that, so direct your anger to your religious leaders who are preaching that

Confessed to who? If she prayed to God Almighty through Jesus, then the Holy Spirit must have convicted her. All she needed to do was ask God for mercy and confess her sins to GOD.

If she repented before she died just like the thief on the cross before his death,God will forgive but if on the other hand, she died without confessing her sins,no amount of prayer will save her on the other side because 'Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment'. That is d mistakes of other religion n some religious organizations who believe in religion and good works. They pray that God will overlook and forgive ur short coming, transfer you form Limbo or Purgatory to Heaven or engaged in different amount rituals and days of prayers for the person soul to b transfer to paradise or heaven. If you are not at peace with God now,He will be at war with you on the other side. Shalom

what about tha thief on the cross with Jesus? you expected him to come down from the cross and starts confession of his siins to those he offended??

But one of the thieves confessed (according to the Bible) and was saved.

The person in question did not confess by herself but the relatives intervened. It's not the same thing now

The blind leading the blind. How much of Godism do u know? Are u God? Or ur SS teacher? Did u create any soul? All souls belong to God. And God is not man. The Bible is not the book of judgement. Keep quiet as much as spirituality is concerned. Walk ur own path in the world. God created no man for fire. God did not as well create any fire to roast his beings. All souls return to God. Force no belief on anyone.

Re: If We Ask For The Forgiveness Of God Before We Die, Will God Forgive us ? by LaReinaa(f): 9:07am On Sep 20, 2020
If you ask for forgiveness and accept Christ with all your heart even a minute before you die, he will forgive you and you’re most likely to make heaven..

I haven’t died before so I can’t be too sure but that was what the Bible said..
God is indeed a merciful God!

its a lie. your sunday school teacher is not God. if she asked God for forgiveness just for the fact of her condition and she could not confess those sins esoecially to the people she offended, she would make it to heaven.

What you guys did was intercession. I think it's the deceased that needs to confess christ as their lord & saviour before passing on. This is why we must not wait till the last hour before submiting to christ.

Even if she confesses christ yet not baptised
She is not saved

Jesus was clear about it

Redemption is a personal thing. People can only ask God forgiveness by themselves for themselves. You can only make peace with God by yourself, nobody can do it for you. If she prayed to God for forgiveness by herself, then it is between her and God to know whether He granted her prayer. Nobody can "say" for "certain", but what we do know and are sure about is that, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son and whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life, John 3:16. So the question is, did she believe in Jesus? If yes, then she has already made peace with God, sin or no sin, shortcomings or no shortcomings. She will be given a white garment of glory to enter through the Gates. Because we are justified by Faith, not by works! So if she had faith in Jesus, be rest assured she is in Heaven as we speak or type.

lies. if the person is in acceptance of the prayers while not even speaking, but the heart was open, the person would make heave .

God doesn't forgive you based on the act of asking for forgiveness.
He could see through ur heart.


Nice one. God looks through the heart and mind. Some people will just be committing sins and even terrible ones with intention of just asking for forgiveness and that will be all.
I don't think so. Sins committed out of wickedness on neighbours or others are bad, if they were committed out of ignorance or not also matters.

Don't think forgiveness is just like a game where there is a shortcut or cheat. For all sins committed there is punishment if there is no forgiveness but the punishment in totality can be reduced as a result of forgiveness too.

Even after confessing one has to be baptized to be born again

Baptism by water immersion and of the holy spirit.

So if you die without being baptized how sure are to make heaven??

You did well, I must say. I mean if God is not the author of confusion, isn't it normal that where there's one, then it can be correctly said that God is not in such place(s)?

But of course, you can understand the Bible and it's true teachings.

Is baptism the fundamental to making heaven ?

Faith in Jesus is what is very much more important than baptism......that is if the person couldn't attain baptism as a result of inability.
