That it, seems to me, is an admission that it is unknown,

No, it is a straight up claim that I never met him, let alone knew his heart. I simply do not know if Ravi did that.

It is also a fact. Salvation depends on a person entrusting himself to Christ alone by faith.

IF he took that step, he WILL be there.

IF he never did that, he WON'T be there.

I am amazed that there are people who hear the Gospel of Grace, but reject it and prefer hell. But they do.

Salvation depends on a person ...

Ah, there it is, depends on what the person does, but the Messiah is not alone.

Yet even if you met him, you would not know he was once saved, always saved, and certainly could not know his heart.

That IS truly amazing bro. Why do some people hear the truth, but deliberately choose the lake of fire? 🔥 Everyone who is in Hell, will be there by choice. Just my opinion, but after trillions of eons have passed, these evil doers, would still choose to stay in hell, even if they were given another chance for Heaven. I think, they will become more evil, as the eons roll on. This is why they must remain in hell. They are still evil.

Not according to OTHER sources!




In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.


1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.

I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

Ezra Taft Benson
