I venture to say that Jerry Falwell in life was more of the defintion of what a true Christian is then the trash you have spoken on this thread.
IF you actually are passing judgement on JF as being a baptist and then to insinuate "wonder what he thinks now" = he is in hell.
YOU Sir are NO Christian! PERIOD!

Old paths is one of the Godliest men I know and a great Christian.

Got nothing to repent over, Ferd. You're the one that keeps resurrecting the dead.

Why? You don't think a preacher should share the Gospel message at a funeral? I do.

That's not the primary responsibility nor should it be the focus of the message. The message is to be to the family to provide comfort, but it can also be instructive and should be in my opinion.

My dad loved to preach the Gospel at funerals.

We know what we know and have to preach such! I'd never be comfortable putting someone with a face into hell. It's always on generic terms.

I guess I should have added a disclaimer. I think the Holy Ghost has to be the director here. Witnessing in general can be done without God telling me what and how to do it. I know that much. But, in sensitive situations, as Scott said, there must be wisdom and only that God gives. Otherwise, I think much damage can be done. And, certainly, that doesn't apply just to that situation. As I've said, my situation with my wife is just as sensitive.
