Irrelevant. His creator kept his promise to Newt. He died for his sin and in accepting that gift, Newt became justified in the eyes of God Almighty. That's enough for me. As the Bible passage goes: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Do you really want to go there? Everybody is fallible. Everybody has feet of clay. I'm a Calvinist, so I believe in the doctrine of universal and radical depravity of man. Even Christians sin. In my personal salvation, I did my part. I sinned. Jesus did his part, he gave his life for that sin. On that basis, I'm going to cut Newt a huge break on this topic. Remember, if you even think of the sin, it's the same as doing it. So which of you is blameless?
Amen!
Has Newt given testimony that he has accepted Christ as Lord and Personal Savior?
If so, that is news to me. Because if he understood the true meaning of salvation (Eph 2:8-9) why would he join the Roman Catholic Church? Some Roman Catholics who understand the true meaning of salvation sometimes do remain in the Church, but not many of them because many teachings of the RCC and the Bible are in contradiction. Especially the doctrine of salvation.

GREAT POST,
I just hope and Pray some here will read it and receive it as the truth that it is.
I THANK GOD for HIS grace everyday.
Irrelevant. The question is, can we trust him to keep the vow he just issued? All we have to go on is his track record.
