Question
It is common among Christians to conduct Thanks-giving services for the loved ones departed with the sentiment that they are with God. In event it is a known fact the departed soul is not SAVED isn’t the rationale of this act is unfounded?

Answer
Hi Nihal......, Yes, it would be Nihal, IF they know that the loved one has departed not knowing their Salvation In Christ Jesus, it would be an irrational act.. BUT, IF they know that the departed did know their salvation in Christ, then they can throw a party, because they know where the departed are...!

So the question would be .... can one know for sure, definitely, and positively, that the loved one is with their Lord?  And the answer is YES, most definitely, one can know..!  

Sincerely In Christ Jesus
