I really don’t like the idea of rejoicing over someone going to hell, it’s an incredibly nasty instinct. God doesn’t take pleasure in the death of the wicked as I recall.

Next, by evangelical standards all it takes is belief in Jesus Christ to be saved, you don’t know if someone did or didn’t. People aren’t meat computers where they always and at all times go by the doctrine they were taught, or always have a perfect understanding either (see Galatians).

It seems related to what John Eldredge calls “hard ass Christianity” where like it says in the Screwtape letters men ask what is strong, or stark, or bold, not what is true, or prudent.
