Is Stapp Saved?... evidence inside

Ok i was studying the My Own Prison lyrics the other day, cause its probably my favs. After going through it, i think there is enough evidence to believe that Stapp may be saved (born again)

The Lyrics "no appeal on the docket today just my own sin" acknowledges that his sin will be judged

"shackled by my sentence expecting no return here there is no penance my skin begins to burn" he admits here that that sin is gonna send him to hell.

"i hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross
i feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss a lion roars in thedarkness only he holds the key
a light to free from my burden and bring me life eternally "

These lyrics show that he knows Jesus Sacrifical death saves us from this damnation and it is the key to get life eternally.

"i cry out to god seeking only his decision"

This shows he has cried out to God, and he realizes that it is God's decision, we are saved by faith.

So really he knows that (im assuming he means what he writes)

He has sinned, that sin will send him to hell
Jesus came and died to pay the price for his sin
He has cried out to God

That's all we have to know to be saved... The only doubt i have is this:

"gabriel stands and confirms
ive created my own prison "

either he feels that God has rejected him, or its fitting into a story of that this guy was sent to hell, and he dosen't have a second chance to accept God

Plz share your thoughts and give me your opinions.

That last line I think is just saying that he has made his own hell around him. It's not anyones fault but his own.

I understand where you're going, but I think the "I cry out to God, seeking only His decision" part could be just a plea for forgiveness, just trying to repent and know that he's been forgiven by God.

Well, those lyrics could point to a lot of lyrics, actually.

I know "Is This The End" points to Christ and no one else. When I said "a lot of religions" it was within the Christian context. Whether you're Born Again, Baptist, Catholic, LDS, Lutheran or whatever, I'm sure those lyrics coincide with your beliefs (they do with mine, and I'm not a "Born Again Christian" in the sense that I belong to that specific sect.). MOP could as well. That's all I'm trying to say.
