Gee I guess that's why when a friend's 6 year old had open heart surgery, her pastor refused to put him on a public prayer list. He must have not had any sin because he was afflicted. Thanks for clearing that up, I'll pass it along.
At the time the minister told her he couldn't put the child's name on the congregation's list because he was unsaved.

You must have misread, since you misunderstood it. A pastor that doesn't pray for someone is ignorant. If they don't pray for a kid and their family, they are wackjobs. To say the kid is unsaved also is worse.
"He must have not had any sin because he was afflicted."
Makes no sense whatsoever.
That is unutterably vile.
Which denomination was this - or was it SCN (so-called-nondenominational)?
I sure wouldn't want that pastor in my church. Argghhh. No wonder Christianity gets a bad name. We put anyone on our prayer chains. If they need prayer for salvation, we do that, too. But no one is ever left off. How stupid.
