Well we have no idea what we said, thought or did over the last several months. One cannot rule out a fullblown conversion. From his previous statements and actions it seems unlikely. But none of us really knows who goes to heaven or hell.

Also even if one goes to heaven does not preclude them for being held accoutable for their life as mentioned in the Bible. So there are unknown consequences of sin even for those saved. One cannot fully game the system, live like hitler, confess at the end and have zero consequences. I don’t see support in the scripture for such a “gaming the system” model.

True, but even the thief with his last minute plea joined Jesus in paradise.

You are correct there. And if that was your plan, how sincere would your repentance actually be. It's not just a matter of uttering some words, getting baptised, etc. You have to mean it.

And I'm pretty sure that God cannot be fooled.
