Forgetting to make taubah after committing kufr

Q: What will happen if a person commits kufr but later forgets about it? 

Secondly, if you get bad thoughts about Allah Ta'ala and you feel the sensestion of happiness about it but you know thats bad, is this kufr too?

A: When he remembers, he should recite the kalimah and make sincere taubah for the wrong utterance. 

If he said the wrong statement before people, then he should inform them that what he had said was wrong and that he has corrected himself. 

He should not pay attention to these stray thoughts.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
