I am thinking of some comments made on the O. J. thread so here is the hypothetical situation:
I will reserve my opinion for now...
- A "Professing Christian" commits the heinous crime of murder for whatever reason. This is not self defense or justifiable homicide, it is a cold-blooded murder for which justice should be served.
- This murdering defendent is able to convince a jury that he/she is innocent and is declared "not guilty." Case is dismissed, defendent is exonerated and walks free.
- This person never speaks of this deed ever, not even a "death bed" confession.
- They possessed a genuine saving faith and therefore declared "Justified" and enters into the presence of the Lord!
- Since our sins are removed as far as the East is from the West, it is never brought up on the day of judgment.
