CC Woody: So, if anyone in the last moments of his life simply says: "I accept Christ into my heart" is he saved?

ShadowAce: You're not listening. If anyone, in the last moments of life, truly repents, and accepts Christ as his Saviour, then he will be saved. If he merely utters the words, without conviction, then he is not saved."

While I agree with ShadowAce, I don't know of too many people on their death beds who are merely uttering such words without conviction. Usually, when people are about to die, if they are thinking about Jesus, they mean it.

I think they sincerely mean that they do not want to go to hell and this might do it..not that they truly mean that Jesus is Lord

So, are you saying that I cannot simply say "I accept Jesus into my heart" and I will be saved. How does one "mean it?"
