i heard from a friend a story,i don't what is the title but it came a well known book about a person where God regularly visit her and He show her what is hell like. in the story this certain woman was taken to hell and they saw a pastor and she was crying. this pastor is in hell because she didn't forgive her husband's adultery until the day she died then she saw them and she ask Jesus Christ if she can go to heaven but He rejects and she scream lots of bad words. as a pastor, i knew that she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saviour therefore she said i am just quite perplex of how she was unable to forgive her husband and why is it she is hell when she had accepted Him before?

Just because a person is a pastor doesn't mean they are going to heaven. You hear about all sorts of things committed by church officials and stuff. Just because they're in the church doesn't make them good people and it doesn't guarantee them a spot in heaven. The first thing that strikes me right off is that obviously she wasn't sent to heaven because of problems internally, whether it was how she really felt in her heart or what she really thought or whatever. If she could see Jesus and ask to go to heaven and then curse at him when she was rejected, obviously something is wrong. Most people who are trying to get into heaven wouldn't openly curse at their one ticket into heaven. It means there is most likely something deep and dark in her soul. Whether she was a pastor or not is irrelevant. Besides that, it's easy to say that you accept God into your life without really believing that or doing it.

are you saying having forgiveness not in the real heart of that person so it is the reason why she was in hell? The quetion is how she handle forgiveness in her heart. And it is clear that she haven't given it.

i agree with you. if she really accepted Jesus Christ in her heart, she will certainly bear the gift of the Holy Spirit

I am a firm believer in god and trust him a lot.But my only issue is that whenever things are on the right track the credit goes to god but even if a single thing turned up wrong or bad everyone blames the human being or the evil.

Hello,and what you have heard is only a story,it means you don,t know if the story is true,or a lie, the story is only symbolical meaning,we need to forgive to all people who is asking for, why? because if we will not forgive God will not forgive us,
