My brother believed in Jesus and was a raging alcoholic when he died. I cannot fathom that Jesus would throw my brother into the trash. That's something that Satan would do, not Jesus.
It makes perfect sense that we get cleaned up and presentable before Jesus introduces us to God almighty.
It's not about being forgiven; it's about being spiritually pure in order to enter Heaven. Some have the view that, upon meeting Jesus, we instantaneously become perfect. I think that is unlikely. I think we have the same attitude after we die as we had before we died. So, again, it makes sense to me that, while we are forgiven, we still have lessons to learn which will ultimately lead us to being like Christ and which will then permit us to meet God face-to-face.
so go would save a raging rapist who murders his victims up until his death bed ?
1 Cor 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor
the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
1 Cor 5:6-13
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump
of dough? 7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are
in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; 10 I
did not at all
mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. 11 But actually,
I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within
the church? 13 But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.
Gal 5:19-21
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which
I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
