However, Godschild I would be careful of saying that someone simply could not be a true Christian and do what Hitler did. It is not good works or being the "best" person that ultimately gets you to heaven. It is God's grace and faith in him is it not?
Now repentance may very well be required but it does not matter how evil someones actions were they still could seek forgiveness when knocking at deaths door. Do I think Hitler sought forgiveness? No, but the point everyone has been trying to make is that it is ---- >POSSIBLE <----
Not probable just possible.
I never said it was not possible, "because with God all things are possible." What I said was that someone like Hitler would not seek out Christ in His last moments, he took his own life, it takes more than a coward to seek Christ after what he did. Like you said Voltair they already knew the answer so why ask, it's not like this question has not come up more than a few times on this forum, all they want is to run down someone for their beliefs.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
