But what is your take on what would have happened if the prodigal son or anyone who had received salvation backslides by rejecting the Father, His Son, the Holy Ghost and totally turned away from the faith and DIED without having repented or had the opportunity to return to the fold. Would that person be heading for hell or heaven? This is a conversation that came up with a couple of my work colleague when we were in an after discussion on Luke 15:11-32 so I would be interested in having a discussion and receiving everyone's point of view.

Can I ask a question here?
What does a sinner have to do to be saved?
What does BELIEF entail?
plz show me in the BIBLE where Saints repented. I thought repentence was for SINNERS!!
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
We are all sinners. No one is better than the other. Repentance is not just being sorry, but going in different direction. Saints do sin. Who among us does everything we can? Who among even does everything we are supposed to?
There is being perfect or there is sin. It is either one way or the other. We may be, being perfected, but I am pretty sure no one on earth has arrived. It is why we are to have compassion, because we too sin. None of us are worthy of anything.
The only way not to sin is by love.
The church in this very hour should be repenting. What is happening on earth is because of the church.
