This sounds like one of my “this doesn’t make sense” prayers. Keep asking your questions. Something is not right. I see them both too. I don’t understand how. I don’t know the explanation in full, but we are warned about such things in the Word:
2 Cor. 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
As for questioning the salvation of another, Minoru’s own non-Christian words raised the questions. We see things and hear things that contradict. What are we supposed to do?
V. 15 above ends with “whose end shall be according to their works.” We are not told specifics on their works. For me, the warning is the gold. Don’t believe everything you see and hear. If something doesn’t sound right, it probably isn’t. Sometimes the questions are more important than the answers. Hummm....could this be why Lee told us not to ask questions?
I know what you’re thinking...this doesn’t make sense. You’re right.
