He, at one time at least, considered himself a member of the Church of England and even prayed before shows. As far as I know, he never said otherwise.
And as far back as Sabbath, he has done songs indicating his (and other band members') faith. Look up "After Forever" - written by Butler [procliamed Catholic] and sung by Ozzy. He frequently makes references to Christian and religious themes in his music.

Why do you think he is not saved? [Not saying he is, only that I fail to see proof otherwise.]

I would love to see Ozzy and his family in heaven

What makes you think They aren't going?

& What makes you think you will "know" anyone when you get there?

Reminds me of a televangelist I heard this morning (though I usually hate watching them, it was early and nothing else was on):

When we get to Heaven I think we will ALL notice three things off the bat:
1) there are people we never, ever thought we'd see there.
2) we don't see people we thought would be.
3) you notice you are there! (Thank you, God! I made it! Oh, thank you, Jesus!)

Those who heard this asked, "Who then can be saved?"He replied, "What is impossible for people is possible with God." luke18:26-27 ;)
i declare that God will work in his life!:amen:

How many would love to hear the news that Ozzy Osbourne had accepted Christ as his savior and become saved?? . . . .

Continuing the theme of let's ask the OP questions :p

1. How do you know there is a heaven?
2. What or whom does Ozzy need saving from?
3. How do you know that Ozzy and family are not "saved"?
4. How do you know how much grace God will extend to non-Christians?

lol I know facepalm legions come. Now I love death metal, but I will never, ever under any circumstances subject myself to death metal of that nature. Any extreme metal that is overly blasphemous or is satanic is off limits to me. Morbid Angel will occasionally write some ridiculous song, then that is the song I simply omit.

EDIT: an btw, how did Glen Benton raise two kids with the personality and religious beliefs that he does?? How exactly is that compatible??

Who knows besides God. He already could be.

It would be fun seeing people like that in Heaven. There's alot of celebs I love who proclaim their faith (Ted McGinley's a professed Christian, Steve Winwood is as well, same goes for Justine Bateman.) It's gonna be pretty funny seeing Jefferson from Married With Children in Heaven. Let's just hope he don't make it 'Jump The Shark' Why not Ozzy too? :)

Considering this is a Christian forum, questions 1 and 2 are absolutely redundant. All of these answers will be the same for any "mainstream" Christian.

These questions are not directed towards you, and these questions are certainly not redundant at all. Perhaps you have not read 1 Peter 3:15, which states:

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.


Despite what you may think not all Christians will answer these questions in the exact same way. I would hope that on a Christian message board a non-Christian's sincere questions would be answered in a Christ-like manner by Christians. I guess not :(
