I didn't realize I posted my comment when I did. I meant to add more, but got busy. I apologize if it came across bitchy.
I grew up in a pretty strict baptist church and I understand what Lily is saying. I would never call myself a good Christian woman, but I have to believe like others that if she was saved then she is in heaven. That is what I would like to believe and I really hope it is true.
So although I understand the thought that she killed herself and in in hell, i would like to believe that she isn't.
I have difficulty pronouncing that anyone is absolutely in Heaven or anyone is absolutely in Hell. I don't know. I don't really know what is in someone's heart they way God does. So, I am not going to make a pronouncement that I KNOW the eternal fate of a particular person.
The pendulum swings back and forth. And, that's actually a good thing. Keeps one party from getting too all powerful. And, then in a couple of years it will swing back again.

Agreed--but to say that you have to ask repentance with your dying breath or you will go to he!! is absurd.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.
