How do you know he repented of his sins? Or are you now Jesus Christ and the Judge — Perfect Justice?
I quoted the “if” statement from God - which means that IF he did so — THEN — according to what God said, he is saved.
It’s an “if/then” statement, in which if you fulfill the first part, then the second part is true.
I’ll leave it up to others to discuss whether he fulfilled that “if/then” statement of God.
And God will KNOW (absolutely and authoritatively) whether he did fulfill that — which is something we don’t know with absolute authority, as we can’t see into the heart as God can.
If it doesn’t fit the Official Catholic Model — the Earthly Heaven Screening Committee — the Shoehorn To Pack Them Into The Box To Glory — to you they’re damned.
We won’t even TRY to convince you otherwise, unless you are willing to budge from that Model to something heretical, like the bible. Which tells of a grace that is larger than all your catechisms can embrace.
I don’t care how much Religion the fellow had. Did he have Faith?
Hey, Sal, you are always quick to condemn anyone who speaks other than with ‘your voice’ on the ‘Catholic’ threads, and you claim it on the basis of it’s being a ‘Religion’ thread. How about showing Paul Crouch the same respect you demand for the Popes...
And yes, Paul Crouch and each of the Popes are only men. To elevate any to higher levels is not for you to do. God judges. He expects us to leave judgement to Him. If we were to judge men who happen to have been Pope, as you are wanting to judge Paul Crouch, we would find many wanting, and I am sure that God knows which Popes are ‘saved’ and which ones are not. Just as he know who any of us are ‘saved’ and who are not.
That being said, I know whom I beliveth, and I know who my Savior is...Yeshua, the Christ...the Son of the living God. There are two questions that Jesus asks of each of us...’Whom do men say that I am?’...and the second...’Whom do you say that I am?’
