Consider a hypothetical brother named Zeke. He is a true believer and is a normal
member of the local assembly. He has his good points and bad points, his strengths
and his weaknesses.

He is in a covenant relationship with God. His sins were imputed to Jesus on the cross
and Jesus died for those sins. The righteousness of Jesus is imputed to Zeke.

Does Zeke go to heaven are hell in the following examples?

1) Zeke prays but is unable to cause
signs and wonders or greater works to happen in his life or church.

Then a sudden tragedy happens and Zeke dies.
Does he go to heaven, to hell, or we cannot be sure?

2) Zeke is believing God for protection as in Psalm 91. He is in a convention center
and is going down a dark hallway with his wife and children. There are ruffians around
and Zeke goes to a courtesy phone and asks for a security guard to come to this area of
the building. So Zeke knew better than to use the arm of the flesh for protection but
in the heat of the moment he compromised.

Then a sudden tragedy happens and Zeke dies.
Does he go to heaven, to hell, or we cannot be sure?

3) Zeke is on a public street and persecutors come along and kill his wife and children.
In a surge of anger he kills one of the villains.

Before he can repent he dies.
Does he go to heaven, to hell, or we cannot be sure?

I have been hearing some tapes that I believe are heard by others who are of
the FA diaspora – people who might be interested in this forum.
I am hearing ambiguity relating to the theology of the above questions.
Clarity in this area might give people some peace of mind and freedom from condemnation.
