His autism is much improved by God's grace. He is now at a Aspergers level and responds intelligently when spoken to; he loves the Lord. We have a young man at our church who also is autistic and saved. He prefers to listen to the sermon in the foyer where there is less distraction. Otherwise, he is there every sunday. We have had saved autistic people on our boards and one comes into the chat room occasionally. However, I am not sure about sociopaths who can't seem to discern right from wrong and have no remorse for the evil they have done. I have heard of seriel killers being saved, but since I have seen no fruit of repentance, it is hard to know if they are really saved. Some may be demon possessed???. Some who are severely retarded--pre school level--I believe can also be saved if they live up to the light given them. They just need to know that God loves them and forgives them for being bad when they ask Jesus to help them and come into their lives to be their best friend. They just need to be taught on their level. Those who are raised in a Christian home are sanctified by the believing parent 1Cor 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows Jesus. I do not think a sociopath is beyond the ability to grasp who He is. I do not think most people are beyond that ability. For those few who are, then I trust that He is just and fair and knows what is best. He knows their hearts when we do not. I trust Him to do what is right.

God Is Able, Oh So Able When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:25-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all seen the adult-child who spends his or her entire life with their parents, never seems to grow up, can't feed, wash or dress themselves, and suffer from extreme mental retardation. They have a certain loving and trusting nature. I believe that they have the Holy Spirit. They can't read the Bible but they've always known God. We have a lot to learn from them. Only evil societies wish to kill the mentally-handicapped. The Nazis exterminated them just like they exterminated the Jews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason he would not get married is because he is an Eunuch. Mathew 19:12 "12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
