I understand where you’re coming from.
I was thinking more along the lines of it being too late to do anything about whether he was saved or not. It’s not like anyone can present the gospel to him or anything. Your fate is sealed once you die.
We need to worry about those still alive who we can have an impact on yet.
The thing is, people are going to get all in a snit if they think that you’re attacking him. It seems counter productive to me to make an issue of it because most people don’t look beyond the obvious work that he did and they judge him on that. If someone is convinced that he was a Christian, then almost nothing you can say will convince them otherwise.
Christians understand the importance of correct theology but non-Christians just. don’t. get. it.

No offense meant in that post ZC.
“Christians understand the importance of correct theology but non-Christians just. don’t. get. it.”
True, but there are many Christians in this day and age who fall for the idea that the good he did and the “Reverend” in front of his name indicate a spiritual state that is not evidenced by his life in other areas, and I have to admit that that always bothers me. I don’t want to go to a talk or ceremony that holds him up as a model of virtue and Christianity when it’s not obvious his life was characterized by either one — and significant evidence that it was not. That’s what gets me. Christians should know better. (When I have to attend the in-service at my school on these days, I go late because I won’t sit through that. I refuse.)
