So your argument is...that it is possible for Hitler (or someone like him) to go to heaven...so long as he jumps through your hoops and become born again before he kicks the bucket.

Is that right?

I thought you said you were leaving this thread for your own good? ;o)

I don't have any "hoops" someone must jump through to be saved, I can't save anyone. If you have a problem with Almighty God knowing the heart of someone who is genuinely converted to Jesus Christ and saving him, take it up with God. The Apostle Paul said he was the "chiefest of sinners" because he persecuted and oversaw the murder of Christians. If God can save him and use him for His glory, is anyone too far gone for the gospel to break through?

While we were YET sinners, Christ died for us. While we were at enmity/enemies of God, He reconciled us through faith in Jesus Christ.

    For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

    Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation — if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant. (Colossians 1:19-23)
