That would be a shame wouldnt it - do you think it weighed in Gods overall judgement of him? - I suspect it did - but I think what over rides is the man professing Christ as his savior. In doing so, when this man judged, the cleansing blood of Christ and His sacrifice on the Cross will wash his sins away and dry his tears, restoring him into a right relationship with God.
The simplistic might say we can always sin, knowing we can clean the slate later - but God knows the heart. A stumble He forgives.
