Question
Good morning,
A few people have come to salvation on their deathbeds while in a coma.Some have come out of the coma and friends and family that "led them to the Lord" in the coma were shocked when they suggested that the person needs to get to know Jesus,starting by giving their hearts and lives over to Jesus.The would be informed that when the family member or friend says that they already have,this been while in a coma.Question,does this fit in with your answer or teaching about the soul not receiving when body in a coma-the spirit and soul do not sleep go into a coma or die.bless you,trevor

Answer
Dear Trevor,



Good morning also. I don't actually teach that human spirits cannot hear when the brain is in a coma. Though there is nothing in the bible concerning this, as far as I know.

Are you suggesting that this is a good practice or a bad practice? You have not made this clear to me? Actually speaking thee words does not get you into heaven.

The thief on the cross got to paradise with Jesus by just asking to be remembered. You see God sees the heart, He does not have a formula of given words to be recited.

Born again does not get you eternal life but entrance to the kingdom now. All who are not born again do not necessarily go to hell...but this is a big and extensive issue.

Hope to hear more from you Trevor.

God bless
