I once heard, and I can't remember where, that the people we expect to see in heaven, won't be there, and vice versa.
I am a strong believer in deathbed conversions and it probably happens more than we think. There go I, but for the Grace of God.
Re: my previous post, I should have said "some" of the people..."
I would disagree with you about the number of 'true' death bed conversions. There is a difference between saying a few words versus giving your heart and soul to God. If they do that, then they have salvation, otherwise they go to hell. I don't think that it is very wise for any of us to what until the end.
