Which is, what does one say when the subject comes up regarding someone's loved ones who clearly died outside of Christ?
That's always fascinated and amazed me when I think of those who take the Gospel where it's been unknown. What a shattering step for a new believer to take, to accept that everyone he or she has loved who has died is surely in Hell.
Naturally, this situation is scarcely restricted to regions where the Gospel hasn't reached (yet). It's applicable to people next door. One's own family, in fact.
