Very sad to hear that.

Why is that? If she was saved they are not even an issue, her sins are forgiven, forgotten, erased as far as God is concerned.

We all sin Link, we all make mistakes, that is why Christ did what he did for us, that's why we all need salvation. I have done worse things than a woman posing nude, I regret it, and repent, I am saved so I have an assurance from Christ himself, from God himself.

Considering she was Catholic enough to even have last rites performed...I'd say she had probably accepted Christ into her heart. 
I'd just like to say that I hate it when people ask if someone's been "saved".  Whenever you go to a Baptist church, the people there want to know "when were you saved".  I tell them that I was saved in the year 33AD, when Christ died for my sins.  That always ticks them off and makes them demand a moment in time where the Spirit just completely changed my life.  Why can't I just have been a believer and a true Christian since I was a child?  I've never had a point where I was in some dark alley with needles hanging out of my arm, when I decided in a moment's time to now follow Christ.  Still, that never seems to cut it with Baptists.  They have to know...when were you saved.  Everyone has been saved.  If you must ask an awkward question like that, why not ask, "what have you done to show your appreciation for being saved?" 
As for trying to knock FF down at the time of her death...I have trouble believing how a true Christian could do that.  I'm not trying to start up a big change in conversation here, but it's the same with Michael Jackson.  I keep hearing people try to rip him down and belittle his existence because of some of the stuff that went on in his life.  How could you do that right when someone's died.  We are in this thing together.  There's officially not a single person in the world that I can say I hope goes to Hell.  I may tell my neighbor to go there sometimes under my breath whenever he drives in my yard, but I don't mean it.  Jacko was a true philanthropist and an incredibly talented performer.  He was also crazy because of a terrible childhood.  Yeah, he probably did mess around with those little boys in his bedroom, but we don't even know that for sure...remember, he was never convicted of that.  I still think he did it, but I'm not going to get on my high horse and act like I know where he'll spend eternity.  If you know anything about his life, you'll know that he really did tried to make the world a better place almost every day.  As for the molestation thing, I truly believe that he was so crazy that he never understood what he had done wrong.  Besides, the first claim is the only one I believe.  That is where he supposedly (probably) kissed a boy a lot on the face while he was in his bed.  The last one was a fabricated story from a woman who had a history of extortion...and her story wasn't even the same as her son's. 
Anyway, sorry to hijack this FF thread.  I just don't like it when people suggest that they understand the kingdom of heaven at all, and who will be there.  Our God is awesome and forgiving.  The way to heaven is "through" Christ.  Not by standing in front of a church and swaying around with your hands in the air so you'll get all of the congregation's attention.  It's by living like Christ and truly leading an un-selfish/loving life.

Geeez...you're a barrell of laughs, Mondo.  It was a JOKE!!!

FWIW, Catholics are not the only ones who have "last rights," but her salvation or "being saved" was not questioned by me friend, my point was simply that when people are saved their sins are no longer an issue between them and GOD, I wasn't asking if she was saved, at this point that knowledge might offer some comfort for the living, but as far as her condition, her death, it is no longer an issue to be argued.

I'd just like to say that I hate it when people ask if someone's been "saved".  Whenever you go to a Baptist church, the people there want to know "when were you saved".  I tell them that I was saved in the year 33AD, when Christ died for my sins.  That always ticks them off and makes them demand a moment in time where the Spirit just completely changed my life

I do not see why that answer would "tick them off" it's a truthful response as any I have heard, that is why Christ said "it is finished" that was when the work of salvation was done, that was indeed when the price was paid. As far as knowing an exact date and time when a "transformation" occored in your person, i agree that is BUNK, although salvation was instantanious, and happened even before we are born, I understand as well that the PLAN of salvation was made even before the foundations for the universe were set in place. I KNOW many evangelicals have a bee in their bonet with the concept of "when" people get saved, just as many catholics do as well, there are members of all Christian denominations who have "wrong" beliefs that is why we have so many denominations, in the end however the ONE thing we ALL have in common is this. Christ saves us....period, We repent and have faith...HE saves, did save yesterday, saves us today, and saves us tomorrow forever and eternally.

Please my friend do not paint all "baptists" as you do here, to honext MOST baptists think more along the lines I do, not that a moment where someone can say "yes on this date I made a choice, I accepted Christ into my heart, and I can prove it because it is written down in my bible." that is just not the way a majority of people are saved, not historically, and not today. Sure, It happens that way with some, but with most, it is a gradual realization and growth process, an understanding of something, not simply getting out of the line to hell and into the line going to heaven.

As for trying to knock FF down at the time of her death...I have trouble believing how a true Christian could do that.  I'm not trying to start up a big change in conversation here, but it's the same with Michael Jackson.  I keep hearing people try to rip him down and belittle his existence because of some of the stuff that went on in his life.  How could you do that right when someone's died.  We are in this thing together.  There's officially not a single person in the world that I can say I hope goes to Hell.

I agree 100% and ask if you think it was I that was ripping her or anyone. I HOPE she was saved, just as I HOPE anyone is, when ot comes to others we have to take their word for the state of their salvation, we cannot say yes they are definately saved, or no they are not. We can say they lived a life that bore the fruit of salvation, or that their was no evidenc that we were aware of as to someones state of grace. Look back at the posts, look at what I actually said and not what you read into my words, and ask yourself, was ANYTHING I said actually knocking her, in truth I give her the benefit of the doubt, admit that from where I am I was probably a worse sinner than her, and I am saved, her salvation is by no ways out of the question. Nor did I question it.

No problem my friend, and actually I enjoy your posts, anytime you can teach me, feel free, I know that humility is not my strongest point, but I am trying to get there, and you just might be the one to help me. I agree with you so far more than disagree...and you are actually saying the EXACT same thing I was, juts perhaps doing a better job at it.

Why would it be so hard to understand the Kingdom? Did God not give us an instruction manual? So is the way to heaven through Christ, or by living a Christ like unselfish, loving life? Interesting that the bible addresses this in such a way. James and Paul would almost seem to contradict when one takes a shallow look.

For many, including myself, there was a conversion moment. A moment I can look back and definately see where my walk with the Lord took off. A crisis point. For many it is different. Most baptists are addressing the issue of conversion. And many are very unclear or confused themselves. The bible is very clear on the condidtions of salvation. Jesus did all the work. (Grace) We appropriate the work through faith and repentance. Far be it from me to try to put all that in a box and limit the conditions in which God works all that out through each beliver.
