RE: deathbed salvation
Death can come suddenly. Many are drugged on pain meds near the end and not fully conscious. I reckon from Scriptures like John 3 and John 5 that God needs to do a supernatural work to bring about a person's salvation. God must "stir the waters". The Holy Spirit must come. Human will cannot place faith into the heart. When opportunity knocks to obtain salvation, it is best not to delay but to respond to what God is doing.
