From what we gather from history, neither Gandhi nor Hitler appear to have put their faith in Christ for their salvation, which is the foundation of any true Christian, and, if they stayed consistent with that until the very end of their lives, then, according to the Bible, both of them are condemned to Hell (John 3:18). However, if either of them truly accepted the free gift of salvation found in Jesus Christ, even if it happened in the last moment of his life, then he is now in Heaven (Luke 23:32-33 & 39-43). Since there’s no way of knowing for sure what really happened either way, then any judgment from us on whether Hitler or Gandhi is in Heaven or Hell is, in essence, only speculation.

Unfortunately, Ethereal, your argument is made up almost entirely of assumptions, speculation, faulty logic and false information.

Of the many flaws in your argument the most significant one is found in its very foundation and fatally compromises the whole thing. To love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and to love your neighbor as you love yourself are the two greatest commandments because they are the basis for all the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 22:34-40). However, contrary to your claims, they are NOT the means to salvation (Heaven/eternal life), since we cannot be saved by anything we DO (Galatians 2:16; Titus 3:4-7; Ephesians 2:8-9). Good works and obedience to the Law are the effect or evidence of one’s salvation and not the cause of or means to it (James 2:14-18; Ephesians 2:10; John 14:15; Matthew 7:15-23). What the Bible actually teaches about salvation is that it can only happen by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9; Acts 4:11-12; John 3:16-18; 14:6). This means that no one – not you, me, Hitler or Gandhi – is going to Heaven without trusting in Jesus to get us there, no matter how “good” we’ve been, because none of us (not even Gandhi) could ever be good enough to be saved based on our own merits (Romans 3:23).

Your standards for judging who is a Christian are skewed, at least in Hitler’s case. Simply put, a true Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ. This is someone who entrusts his life to Christ as the only true way to be saved while repenting of his sins and consequently strives to live by the teachings of the Bible (John 14:6; 15; Luke 9:23-24). When we properly evaluate what we know about Hitler’s life using this standard, it’s clear that he was not a follower of Christ at all, no matter how much you would like to insist that he was. So if Hitler truly loved God, then how did he stray so far from God’s Word (John 1:1-5&14; 14:15)?

I think it’s interesting that so often Christians are accused of hypocrisy for falling short in any way, but yet, somehow, you regard Hitler, of all people, as being “genuine” (Mathew 7:15-20).

Ethereal, your interpretation of the term “neighbor” is too exclusive. The Biblical sense of the word (translated from the Greek word “plēsion”) actually means anyone who is near you, so the Jews were Hitler’s neighbors, too. Furthermore, I don’t believe that Hitler really loved anyone as he loved himself.

You’ve also ignored the significance of the fact that the Christian Bible affirms the Jews as God’s chosen people (Exodus 19:3-6; Deuteronomy 7:6; 1 Peter 2:9), and that Jesus was Himself a Jew (Matthew 1:1-17).

Your assumption that Hitler asked God for forgiveness overlooks the fact that Biblical repentance (“metanoia” and “metanoeō”) also requires regret and the changing of one’s mind. In light of this, it’s clear that Hitler did not repent.

Dont worry about others not living eternally in the presence of our creator…but rather work individually on knowing the word of him who speaks it thru his sacred ancient text. "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
