… repent by the Sharee'ah judge in an Islaamic country; if he does not repent and come back to the true religion, he will be killed as a kaafir and apostat
In the Bible the lost prodigal son was welcome home with big feast
So much difference

Apostasy from Christianity punishable by death? Not in this age! In the Bible, toture and death is the punishment

There is no such thing as punishment for apostasy in Christianity. The unbeliever is free to accept Christ to join Christianity. And having become a Christian, he can choose to abandon the faith any time he deems convenient. And No one has the right to punish him for such a decision. This is because Jesus forbade us to punish those who have committed apostasy on Him.
Jesus said, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still (Revelation 22:11).” This teaching of Jesus Christ restrains both the clergy and the laity, the family, and the community from persecuting, punishing, or causing someone to suffer pain for abandoning Christianity. Leave the apostate to God; He shall deal with him. Hence, there is no punishment for apostasy in Christianity.

Death is the punishment in the OT
Is that golden ticket to heaven still valid if he renounces Christianity?
