Bill Moyers: Christian Atheist
If Moyers is saved, he will suffer great loss. But he has every indicator of being a reprobate, rejected, twice dead (Jude 12). He may have been a cultural "christian". There are many such unregenerate in positions of authority in churches, who deceive and lead astray.
Jesus is not pleased in either case:
(Jesus speaking) It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. (Luke 17:2)
But I am sure Moyers would call me an unenlightened fundy, another indicator (1 John 5:1), and my use of scripture a substitute for reason thus showing his rejection of the witness of God (1 John 5:9-12)
It’s certainly possible for a once fervently believing Christian to fall into a degenerate form of the gospel, as if fallen earth could be engineered into heaven. A theology not too far removed from that is behind the final verse of the popular patriotic hymn “America The Beautiful.” Nope, there won’t be an America as such — though there will be many souls who had lived in America as well as all around the globe — in a place “undimmed by human tears.”
