My dad said he thought he was saved when young (when I asked him). He now says that if God were who he claimed to be, he would have.... He doesn't believe there is no God. I know this because he said that he couldn't say he was an atheist. (He was raised as Southern Baptist in the hellfire & brimstone era of preaching in Alabama.) If he now denounces God, and has for decades (he's 91), will he still go to heaven when he dies?
