Well, he tried to do the work of the Lord, spreading His word, teaching the Good News. He accepted Christ as His Lord and Savior. He accepted God's gift of salvation. He must be in heaven, not by merit of his works, but because he accepted salvation. His works were there as a result of being grateful of the salvation.


Ephesians 2


8: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9: not by works, so that no one can boast.
10: For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

I agree with you, although the latter years of his life were filled some nasty sexual sins.
Maybe some loss of eternal rewards in heaven.

Wow. I never heard anything about what he was doing behind the scenes. I looked them up. That's crazy. And sad.

Especially from such an elevated position, man. Like I said, Satan is so cunning do not underestimate him. Satan was able to trick 1/3 of the angels who met God face-to-face in his full glory..

Yes. I had read some of RZ's stuff and even recommend him a few times.

It’s “Zacharias”, and speculation on the final judgment of another person is not our place. It’s also a waste of time. ;)

Not my circus, not my monkey.

Not my problem, and thank goodness. Somebody else has to decide that.
