Yes; I know. I was saved when I was 10 after one of Dad’s sermons, attended Seminary, was married a minister, and am active in our Baptist church.
Re “jury still out”: When it comes to SDA, I’ve known a few who were questioning the SDA tenets and did “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” in order to be saved. They got into the Bible and questioned the focus on “works” and legalism over grace. I believe it’s possible they may be saved. Since we really don’t know precisely what is in any person’s heart (well, we DO know some are overtly evil, especially in D.C.!) we may have to wait until Heaven to know if these people settled the status of their salvation. For those who may have been in a state of transition when I knew them, the jury is out; I just don’t know for sure.
One thing IS for sure. There will be a lot of surprised folks in Heaven becasue they were not aware of the vastness of the grace of God nor the total efficacy of the blood of Jesus.
We’re so used to judging others. But we were ALL judged 2000 years ago on the body of Jesus Christ. Everyone’s sin has already been judged (1 Jn 2:2). God isn’t judging anyone’s sins anymore. We are way out of wack when we judge others. We actually unwittingly become part of Satan’s army of accusers of the brethren.
The only thing left for Baptists, Mormons, Episcopalians, Jihadists, Muslims, Atheists, Child Molesters, Murderers, etc. to do is “Call upon the name of the Lord and they will be saved” (Act 2:21, Rom 10:13). The ONLY issue and question for time and eternity is, “What have you done with Jesus?”. Jesus IS the answer.
