How do you know that the person on earth that you ask to pray for you isn’t going to end up in hell? How do you know that your minister who is leading his flock isn’t going to hell? How do you know that the person who constantly quotes scripture on internet forums isn’t going to hell? How could a truly pious, SAINT go to hell? If he was truly pious and truly a Saint then he is with God.

Why do we pray & why should we pray for others? Think we pray so that God will give us what we want, whether that want is for us or someone else? Think those who are in heaven still need to pray for others & if they want to do it, think they need us to make our "requirements" known to them?

What are you reading into my reply? We pray to know God’s will.
