Pray for Unbelievers and for Those Who think they are saved but may not be.

There is no purpose in trying to decide if someone who has died went to heaven or hell. If you are unsure, let it go; God knows for sure, and we have no need to know for sure.

It is good to preach the gospel and warn those who have not trusted Christ that they will go to hell if they do not trust in Him.

This is different than attempting to figure out if a dead person went to heaven or hell. Some people we believe are saved because their life and the fruit of the Spirit indicated that they were a brother or sister in Christ. And if we watched someone who blatantly rejected Christ until their death, we can say they went to hell.

Romans 10:6 "But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down)"

We cannot say someone will go to hell before they are dead because we don't know if later in their life they will repent and become saved. We can tell them they will go to hell if they do not repent and trust in Christ.

Romans 1:17 "For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."

Pray for those who have not yet trusted Christ that one day before they die they will see their need for Christ and place their trust in Him.

Do not neglect praying for those who claim to be Christians; many of them may not be saved but think they are going to heaven.

Matthew 7:21-23 I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
