The question is stupid, because only God knows the heart. You don’t even know if such people even exist.

But the motives of many people who ask such dumb questions isn’t truth, but rather feeling smug.

Of course only God knows the heart. I’m not saying anything to the contrary. “He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts”...see below.

Clearly, such people do exist. Paul warns us in Hebrews 10.

Solomon in Ecclesiastes 12
13When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man. 14For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.

And Paul again in 1 Corinthians 4
4My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me. 5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

Plenty of Christians live double lives. Christians like RAVI ZACHARIAS.

If Ravi did it (Rape, Adultery, embezzlement, etc... and I’m not saying he did it), and if he didn’t confess his sins and repent before he died, HE’S ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.

And if he did it and was unrepentant, according to the likes of Metmom, Boatbums, and Mhgintn, HE’S STILL GOING TO HEAVEN. Get it?

My point is that once saved, always saved, is a lie and unrepentant PREVIOUSLY SAVED Christians who commit sins (unrepentant), will not be in heaven.
