Only reliable way to find out is to throw her body into the river and see if it floats.

Was executed Virginia woman, Teresa Lewis, really a Christian? If she was then she's a dead Christian.
To: jackspyder
Is it possible for someone to be a Christian and do something that cold and corrupt? Why do people think that being a Christian means you become sinless? This shows a complete misunderstanding of Christian faith.
Christians, like all humans, engage in sin because we are sinners first. While Christ will offer unlimited forgiveness for those sins, He does NOT automatically set aside the worldly consequences of that sin. Thinking otherwise also misrepresents the faith.
If this person sincerely asked for forgiveness of all of her sins from Jesus before she was executed, then she will have had no problems getting into heaven.

Who knows. Who cares. She deserved the death penalty, like many other women who murder in cold blood. God knows whether she was a Christian, and now she knows the truth about herself.

Only way they could have improved this situation was if they took her remaining accomplice and gave him the needle at the same time. She may have had a low IQ however her husband and stepson are as dead as if she were a genius.

In my opinion no. Refer to the doctrine of apostasy. Hope I spelled that right.

She was a major sinner, so obviously not a Christian.

Sorry about the threepeat. Don't know how I did that.
To: jackspyder
I am not reading the whole article, but there are bad people who happen to claim — and worship under — every faith. No faith is immune.
In my religion it is said, and I believe it to be true for all, that G-d provides a good option in every choice a human has to make. She chose evil.

I see no reason to stay an execution just because a murderer is a "Christian." Coming to faith in Christ does not exempt one from governmental punishment for murder. Christ's blood covers one's sins in the eyes of God, but not in the eyes of the government.
If she truly has faith in God and His Son, and committed this deed, the sooner she is sent to the presence of God, the better.

I think she’s like those liberal DemocRATS who are always telling the morons in the “media” that they are “a Republican that voted for Bush, TWICE, and have a son/daughter serving in Iraq but now support Obama”. See my tag.

Alright hinckley buzzard, just who the hell are you? I am from Hinckley, and I live under the buzzard notoriety. Give me your nearest crossroads.
To: Guyin4Os
Agreed. Let God sort em out.
To: jackspyder
Does it matter? Should real Christian converts be exempt from the death penalty after committing a capital crime? Its not unusual for prisoners to find the Lord in prison.
