Was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Saved? This is a question that I have often asked myself. There is no doubt that he had the trappings of a “Christianâ€, but was he saved as the Word of Almighty God requires (Matt. 7:21-23, Rom. 10:2-4)? This is not a black or white issue but a sound biblical one, for in the END that is what life is ALL about.
Yes, Dr. King had a great dream, vision and was fearless about bringing civil rights to America tragically the lawless white and black Left in this country has hijacked and corrupted his vision with victim status and race baiting. His vision is the dream of millions of Americans (red, yellow, black or white) who are looking for "peace" in this fallen and turbulent world (Isa. 9:6, 48:22, 53:5, 57:21, Jer. 8:11, Eph. 2:14, Col. 1:20). The very world it's self is seeking to achieve this "peace", unity, harmony and oneness, but sadly they leave out one key and crucial piece to this Utopian equation... ALMIGHTY GOD and His RIGHTEOUSNESS!

This is “way” above our pay grade to even consider. When the Bible says, “judge not”, this is what it is talking about. We are in a terrible position to “judge” worthiness for eternity.
I don’t know. Neither do you. It’s not our job.
If not - he’ll burn in Detroit.
It doesn’t matter. Everything, and i mean EVERYTHING, that this guy said, did, and thought became moot with the OJ trial, and has been moot since.
The Negroes are not attempting to ‘stand on his shoulders’, but instead are standing on his buried head.
He’s jamming to Let’s Dance right now.
Why?
Why? Because clickbait.
As human beings, it is impossible to know. Simply put.
True. Guess I assumed a legitimate question. Thanks for clarifying.
True words
None of my business.
Really?
Why not just lets throw you in the river,weighted and tied to see if you are a witch.
Certainly not my problem or concern.
If he was able to seek the mercy of the Lord in the short time between seeing the flash of the rifle and the impact of the projectile...maybe...but his conduct of life up to that point was certainly not of keeping with the teachings of the One that would be concerned.
So, no matter how many speeches we heard, no matter how many schools bear his name, no matter how many roads or streets were named after him, glorification after the fact will not change anything.
More to the point...I don't have to care...the state of his immortal soul is in the hands of God...and who am I to question that?
Interesting point.
If he confessed Jesus as Lord with his mouth and believed in his heart that God raised Him from the dead he was saved. Only God knows for sure if he did that.
I was getting a Carney vibe w/ an attached slime coating. But I really hate impinging carries, So I will go with/ the amazingly spot on picture you lodged in my head. Anyway, be blessed to have Jeebus Fisher boy here to point out all of our shortcomings.
Carnies
We would hope so. That’s between the Lord and him.
And lots of Christians have been fooled by the lure of socialism. He may have been one of them.
