Re 237; by your circular reasoning no one can be certain he is a believer/saved; it is interesting how you reason that unrepentant believers were never saved;

No. We cannot be certain of anyone else's salvation because we don't know their heart. Only God does.

I don’t think that Ted Kennedy was a penitent Catholic, but he was certainly not a Catholic priest or other religious leader. He was a politician, one rank below, well, you know.

God is no respecter of persons.

Although there is more accountability to those who have more light, more knowledge, He is not impressed with our credentials.
