Apr 3 at 13:50 | comment | converted from answer | Fred | raindog308 has it correct. We cannot determine if someone will go to heaven or hell, because we cannot speak for God. | |
Apr 2 at 5:46 | comment | added | Andrew Shanks | @Joshua - yes. 1st John 2:19: "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us." | |
Apr 2 at 3:20 | comment | added | Joshua | I was going to write up a "we don't know but probably no" answer. You did it better than I did. Rotten fruit suggests no, but doesn't actually prove it. | |
Apr 2 at 0:09 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | Yes, many Protestants do believe in the assurance of salvation. Tricky thing is we can never know for sure whether anyone else has truly had saving faith! Most Protestants would say that sure, it's hypothetically possible someone like Joseph Smith once had saving faith (and therefore infallible salvation), but that his later life of heresy and false teaching makes that a very unlikely scenario. Though we'd be happy to be proved wrong! | |
