And please don't read too deeply into my questions, as I have been doing a lot of prayer and soul-searching concerning the Ravi situation and this is just one part of the process of me going before the Lord in this matter.
While I think what Ravi did was disgusting and horrendous, can you guys tell me exactly what you're ultimately saying concerning his salvation (i.e. wolf versus sheep)? I'm reading comments such as the one in reference to Judas Iscariot, and the comments from "Trapped", and the reference to 1 John 3:8-10, etc...and am wondering if you all are saying that Ravi was never truly a regenerated believer.
If this is indeed what you're saying, what exactly would be the reasons? Is it the essence of what 1 John 3:8-10 says in terms of habitual sin?
I just find myself having a hard time with the overall theme of this thread. Again, I am not trying to downplay or excuse Ravi's grievous acts, just trying to understand if you're all suggesting Ravi was one big imposter who is not in the Lord's presence ("heaven") right now.
Thank you.

The Lord said the first will be last and the last will be first. To me death is like a filter, the only thing that passes through is sanctified character. My guess is that Ravi’s had all the praise, honor and glory he’s going to get. But I think he’ll fall flat on his face when he realizes the great cost his Lord suffered for salvation of his miserable ego-inflated soul. (But what do I know, I’m a “once saved always saved” Baptist kind of guy. I’m open to other views).
