While Ghandi did some great things from our perspective on this earth, he was a sinner just like all of us. He came to a point in his life where he chose his own belief system and his own desires over God's way for his life. It's a tragedy that he chose not to be with God. As for the axe murderer that accepts God before he dies, if he truly accepts Jesus he will bear a terrible pain and suffering of guilt over what he has done.
