Will my dad, who was saved when he was young, still go to heaven even if he denounces God now?
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?
Romans 10:13
ESV - 13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
