He was born and reared Jewish and ascribed to a non Christian belief system all his life ending it by declaring his self image as a thoughtful agnostic
If youd ask me in 1965 what Protestant views were on his acceptance into heaven the answer would be less ambiguous than today when folks just dont do that anymore
Of course an epiphany would be a good thing for him
My views are not ambiguous. Without a saving faith in Jesus Christ he is completely and utterly lost for all eternity. I have prayed for him many times since hearing the news. I hope he finds the Truth in Jesus before it is to late.
