This movie has left me feeling more confused at understanding how the judgment seat of Christ works and the great white throne judgment. It seems as though people are arbitrarily assigned based on a general thread of their life but there is no judgment process that is alluded to in the Bible.
In the first account, this preacher was judged by an angel, not by Jesus Christ. Since when do angels judge saints and send them to hell in the Bible? I thought it was the other way around. In 1 Corinthians 6:3 it says the saints judge angels.
Here a preacher failed to forgive his wife and had a vengeful spirit and because of this he would have gone to hell. The Bible does have a just expectation that Christians should forgive others as Christ has forgiven us and ALL Christian faiths, including Roman Catholics will teach this.
On the second example, a man received Christ on his death-bed with the weakest sinner's prayer I've ever heard (i.e. God, if you exist, forgive me) and he went to heaven.
They must have picked two very interesting examples. It seems this video is more geared to people who profess they are Christians and believe they have fire-insurance or unconditional security. Especially since the pastor's account was more detailed and had more information and everyone would be shocked to see he didn't make it.
The message is that holding unforgivenss to another person if you are saved (or believe you are saved) is worst than living a life of sin and then receiving Christ on your death-bed. You may as well be a heathen to God if you harbour unforgivness to anyone.
Taken the wrong way (apart from the video's intent), one could almost feel there is a license to sin, as long as you hold no unforgiveness against anyone else and ask God to forgive you just before you die, or could discourage someone from living for Christ since you are missing out from the world and may go to hell anyway if you have a heart-sin.
While it seems like a well meaning presentation, there are just too many loose ends made on it.
