Yes, I know your position on this. But no one can truly judge his heart except for the Almighty. We are all sinners full of hypocrisy in our doings, failing to live up to what we say we believe. In this at least, I have been assured by someone close to him that he IS repentant, and I am content to leave it there.
I agree that no one can judge another man's heart infallibly. And I did say IF he truly believes what he teaches, then he cannot be saved. We have clear teaching from Scripture that false teachers/prophets are not part of the kingdom of God. So, we are not left in total ignorance as to a person's spiritual state. If that were the case, then the Church would have no warrant to accept or bar individuals from membership, no basis upon which to discipline people, etc. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
