So your saying the even if I am honest, nice, caring, and compassionate and even if I save a baby from a burning house I'm still going to hell with 0% chance of redemption if I don't say that jesus is my lord........
So basically a serial rapist/murder can get into heaven as long as he seeks forgiveness from jesus. But, an atheist will go to hell even if he never did any wrong to his fellow man.
And the god that would do this is supposed to be just and compassionate....

If however he murdered or raped and for some reason afterwards came to repent his sins and find Christ, then YES He could still go to heaven.
So it is true, you can do whatever you want as long as you repent afterwards. Geez, if only the American justice system worked the same way.
But you also say...
If a man murders or rapes he does not have Christ in him, thus he wouldn't go to heaven.
Doesn't this contradict what you just said? If he doesn't have Christ in him, then how could he repent? Or can he receive Christ's love afterwards?
You are not saved by deeds Rand.
Then why are you punished for them?
