"He was faithful in his testimony of Christ. The fact that he spoke about conservative political issues as well as the lordship of Jesus Christ does not alter or dilute anything. That simply means that he did not have his faith locked up in a holy pietism box down in his heart. He was a martyr for worldview Christianity, with Christ at the center of everything. His testimony was that people must turn from their sins—which includes godless leftism, remember—and turn to Christ. So he was a faithful witness to both sides of the repent/believe coin. He was a true martyr, in other words, and no “yes, but” martyr."
