"The fact that he’s not set ablaze ... shows that he is a lost and condemned man."

It seems imprudent to take stock of a man's faith and future in this manner. Perhaps he is indeed a child of God but hardships are making it difficult to find joy or demonstrate such zeal. Or perhaps God has predestined him for adoption as a son (Eph. 1:5) but the time appointed for him to come to faith has not yet arrived.
