Question 2 : Michael (H) , I've been on Holiday. I still don't know if its
possible to repent the sin of not truly repenting, so could you repost
your answer please.
Michael (Hughes):
Don't know that I ever made a response Paul. Some of the threads
got pretty tedious. Finally deleted everything. Don't remember the
original question, but simply answering the above question. Yes.
Paul Robson:
Thanks. You may not have replied (I just wondered). (The amount of
mail can be staggering, eh ?)
The original question was about child molesters (surprise surprise :) ) -
if they "repented" and later repeated the crime, whether or not the fact
that they had previously repented in any way blocked them from
going to Heaven. (e.g. the sin of not honestly repenting could not in
itself be repented). This was unclear from an earlier post of yours.
Am I correct to assume that it is possible to repent in the last
30 minutes of life (providing it is sincere of course) irrespective
of previous deeds (or previous failed repentances) ?
And do you need to be baptized after the repentance or not (or just
once at some point), and if so what form does this baptism take ?
