Unless my study of Th Bible was misread, Only God Almighty is to make that judgment of the state of ones relationship with him

Maybe you are wandering into repentance, cannot tell but yet again God says “Judge not, lest Ye be Judged”

His turf, not yours

Yo can have discernment but judgment. No

Physician heal thyself. It is you who stated he had a "recent conversion" and "I don’t think this is an act", while Scripture states that "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them,"(Matthew 7:20) and thus Hebrews states that "beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation," (Hebrews 6:9) in contrast to those whose life evidences the contrary, and likewise based upon their evident response of the Thessalonians, "how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God" Paul stated "Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. (1 Thessalonians 1:4,9)

And 1 John 5:13 teaches one can know that they presently posses eternal life based upon their characteristics, and that contrariwise one has denied the faith by such basic disobedience as not providing for his own, (1Tim. 5:8) and impenitently sinning will-fully, (Heb. 10:25-39) and thus Paul hands a professed believer over to the devil in order to effect repentance unto salvation. (1 Co. 5:5)

It is true that we may not know now what the eternal end will be of souls, since they may come to faith or fall away, but that we can know one is a saved believer is Scriptural, and which was the issue in my response, and not how Snoop may end up. But he quite evidentially needs true conversion.

As Christians we are responsible for calling out the tares among us. Paul had no problem in criticizing the Corinthians for allowing people in the church who should not have been there and did not hesitate to throw them out. Neither did Peter, James or John. If Rapper Snoop Dogg is a truly repentant sinner, he will demonstrate this over the course of time in both words and deeds. His faith will be evidence in his works. I've been around the block enough to have seen these types of people come and go. I remain skeptical.

The problem with today's church is there are too many tares and not enough wheat.
