It`s not in the Bible period sorry! Pat Robertson covered this respectably on the 700 Club just last week.

No I did NOT need Pat to tell me this, it is very clear...In worldly terms I wish it was the case.

I also wish people got a second chance after their last breath but there is nothing in The Bible to back that up.

As for nothing unclean entering Heaven...Absolutely this is the case, however it simply means that a sinner asked Jesus into their life while they still had breath, and they thanked Jesus for dying on the cross personally for their sins.

When a sinner (we are all sinners) does this their sins are forgiven hidden in Christ, blotted out by the blood of Christ hence clean and perfect in God`s site.

Not our righteousness(our righteousness is as filthy rags) but Christ`s righteousness that we receive when we accept Christ

When we die in Christ we our considered perfect in God`s eyes only because of what Jesus did on the cross for us.

When we dont accept what Christ did for us (we reject Christ) and our sins remain hence we cant enter heaven, it`s as simple as that.

BTW the 700 Club this week had week of prayer, WOW great speakers every day at noon, was powerful

Wed was a wonderful Priest, every catholic should listen to him, he has the ear of the Pope, and past couple Popes, basically Pastor to the Pope, wonderful man of God

2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
