Re: Rock Hudson Repented Before His Death
The thief on the cross did NOTHING to be saved, except ask the Lord to remember him in the afterlife---Jesus said he would be in paradise with Him. He didn't even say "I'm sorry." Or get baptized. Or speak in tongues. Or work really hard to show everyone he was really sorry.
Point is, I read a report that Hudson repented before he died. If he did, and God only knows, then he was forgiven. If he didn't then he wasn't.
The bigger issue is there are those who believe people cannot be saved from a deathbed. I disagree, and so does the Scripture. If Jesus cannot save you even at your most weak and desperate moment, He's not much of a Savior. If He saves only those who are well enough, strong enough, physically whole enough---then His salvation is woefully ineffective. Jesus came to the lowliest of the low. You can't get much lower than a deathbed.
