I have to humbly disagree, Bob, because Paul was a murderer (the Bible says he breathed murder with every breath he took) and his particular crime was going from house to house and murdering Christians...with the sanction of the government. Look what the Lord did for him! Every one of us in the flesh is evil in God's sight...it's when he touches that spirit of ours once we acknowledge him as Lord and repent of our sins that makes us a new creature. Remember what Jesus said? Behold, I make all things new. So if Michael came to the Lord, acknowldging his sacrifice on the cross in his behalf, and if he repented, truly, of what he has done, he'd be a brand new person. Or as Jesus himself put it...he'd be born again, this time of the spirit.
I understand your point. However, Paul did spend five years proving to himself, God and the Apostles that he was serious in his conversion before he began fighting the good fight. Probably a hallmark of justice for Terri and her family would be for the now 'widower' to ask for forgiveness for his role in killing her.
That was after Paul repented and turned to God. The Lord is going to grind Michael into powder(Math. 21:44) if he doesn't repent.
