Rock Hudson Repented Before His Death

[Michael The Disciple]

I remember hearing it another way. Shirley Boone (Pats wife) was supposed to have been there and those who were there were supposed to have been around him praying in tongues.

Looks like a bit of truth in both cases. Seems like the Pentecostals arrived a little late.

Deathbed repentance... any references to such a thing in scripture and someone being saved by doing this, after the cross? I know the thief did such a thing but that was before Christ died.

So it was easier to get saved before the cross than after???

If one repents, are they forgiven? Does forgiveness occur when a soul repents?

Religion reentered Hudson's life in his last weeks. Although he was raised a Roman Catholic, Hudson hadn't practiced in years and had come to regard himself as an atheist. But on September 25, at Tom Clark's request, a priest visited. Hudson made his confession and received Communion. Then he was administered the last rites.

The week before he died, Hudson occupied the attention of different religious visitors. A woman who had stood vigil outside the gate was permitted inside to pray with Rock, and on the night before he died he was visited by a Pentecostal prayer group including that woman and Shirley and Pat Boone. Two of the four nurses who tended to Hudson at home were also members of the group. Says Pat Boone, who knew Hudson only casually from their studio days: "For Shirley and I, there had been a sense of being involved from a distance. We believed that even though there was no medical hope for him, we had a deep spiritual concern and felt that this might lead to a physical answer as well."

With Clark's approval, the group prayed for Rock's recovery in his bedroom. He was unconscious, as he had been for Taylor's visit earlier that day. "After a while, when we were all standing around his bed, he raised up off his pillow and smiled at us," says Boone. "It was a real turnaround. Because of this sign of rejuvenation, one of the nurses, with Tom Clark's help, laid out some nice clothes for Rock to wear the next day." The following morning Hudson awoke early and was dressed by the nurse. Clark, however, was concerned that it was too soon to be up after two weeks in bed. So Clark later undressed his friend and put him back in bed. About a half hour later, Hudson died.

When a call came from one of the nurses, Shirley Boone and the woman who had stood at the gate rushed to Rock's home. "It was difficult for any of us to believe that there had been a final reversal in what we'd seen the night before," says Pat Boone. "He had already gone, but they prayed at the bedside for some time. It's like the three women who went to the tomb of Jesus. They, of course, had different results."

Roman Catholic wafers, Pentecostal prayer meetings, and Rock Hudson an atheist.

So, what was this thread about?

Deacon, the guy was unconscious, he ate a wafer and was administered last rights. He was a homosexual Atheist. The only thing Christian with that guy was the name of his boyfriend.

Deflection. When one repents, are they forgiven? Yes or no.

Deflection? I'm dealing with the topic at hand.

Bro, you are poking a stick into the wrong eye.

Yes, but this guy didn't repent.

Number one, you cannot be the judge of that. God knows.

Number two, if someone is forgiven at repentance, but still is going to hell, what were they forgiven of?
