I won't go into detail about it but it is apparent that John Lennon clearly understood the day and time he lived in. That the day would come when no longer would people be in churches in England, that churches would suffer, that Jesus would move into society and Churches would reject those who didn't fit in.
I am convinced that despite much of the press of that day regarding the comment that "The Beatles are more popular than Jesus" that he meant it the way he did because it is and was true.
BUT, he also felt he was a Christ Follower. That's not a bad thing, it is a thing to be grasped. Even if he didn't fit the profile or look like many of us, God knew his heart. He believed he was a Christian.
I hope he was when his life was taken and in an instant he stepped from time into eternity.
The article that I am referring to is here.

This is very interesting stuff considering that John never professed faith in Jesus but I can get the dates for you, if you insist, that he did visit the Maharishi Yogi,however. But I, too, do hope that he called on the name of the Lord before that kook blew him away.
Can you possibly be talking about the person that wrote:
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
???
I went to school with a guy named Mark Chapman when Lennon was murdered. What a namesake.
