I’m referring to some of the posters on FR who go on “cult” etc. rants about who is and isn’t “saved”.
They’re the Right’s lunatic fringe.
I think there is a difference in stating what Scripture states regarding salvation, God, etc., and applying that to the teaching of cults verses looking at individual members of a sect or cult and saying “you are not saved”. Now, they may give enough evidence to say to me that they aren’t saved (i.e., one who doesn’t believe in Jesus at all would have a bit of a hard time meeting Christ’s own requirements concerning salvation when He said “I am the Way the Truth and the Life and nobody comes to the Father but by Me”) but just because someone is currently attending a religious organization that equates to a cult does not mean that they automatically aren’t saved. In other words, it isn’t what is over the door but what is in the heart. I don’t know what is in your heart or anyone’s heart unless they tell me, and even then they may be lying. So I can’t rant about someone being saved or not saved. I can say, based upon what this person has said, they don’t get it per the way Bible spells out salvation.
