Was Michael Jackson a Christian? [discussion thread, not a religous thread]

After thinking about Jackson, before he passed, and his songs, this question hit me: "Was Michael Jackson a Christian before he died?" Post your thoughts in the commets below

He was a Jehovah's Witness.

Does it really matter?

He was a Jehovah's Witness but was considered not a true Jehovah's Witness by many people in the Church that his family used to attend.

Really, i'm not going to argue. I just wanted to see other people's thoughts. If your going to start an arguement, leave now.
Thank you

Well you did say to post your thoughts in the comments, so i think his post was perfectly acceptable. Just because you two have conflicted in the past doesnt mean that his posts in your thread are there only to provoke an argument.

He was a child molester, not sure if he was a Christian. And don't the majority of Christians believe that Jehovah's Witnesses are a separate thing from Christianity?

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are a separate belief from christianity.

Yes, we have had HEAVY conflicts in the past, and i don't want this thread to flare up like the other ones, so i'm kindly asking him to leave it he wants to start one.
No offense, but if he does, your just feeding the fire

What religion did he say he was?

Jehovah's Witness.

Im just protecting the rights of the one who is being attacked based on an (incorrect) assumption. If i may suggest it, add the "flare warning" (or whatever you feel like calling it - your choice of course) to your OP, which will deter anything from the beginning

If he claimed to be a Jehovah's Witness and people said that he was not even that. And if Jehovah's Witness is a separate belief from Christianity then there is your answer. Most likely no.

Jackson's faith was between Him and God....that is all that counts. Although it is not for us to judge on this, I would not suspect that he was "saved," at least by the standards of what I believe.

Dont worry... I am too

But yeah, I think he was a Jehovah's Witness

I don't see why this matters. This is either a random question that Google could have solved, or some sort of catalyst to a way to sway someones opinion on Michael based on his religion. And might I say anyone whose opinion of another person is in any way based on the subjects religion is shallow. And in the case that you made this to honestly answer this question, it would have been much more time efficient to ask Google.
So yea.

What does it matter? All that matters to me was that he molested children and was on drugs.
