Your use of Joseph Stalin made we think of this:

If an Arminian preached to Stalin (for which he would have probably been shot), and said "Comrade Stalin, Jesus died for your sins", and a Calvinist preached to Stalin (for which he too would have probably been shot) and said "Comrade Stalin, Jesus died for sinners", which one would have told the truth, in the end analysis?

The Arminian. The bible says, "not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."

AND, the great conundrum is that no one knows what Stalin thought or did in those last moments of life on earth.

Jerry, if Stalin had in the last 2 minutes of his life turned to Jesus and said to him, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom," would we find Stalin in heaven?
