Q&A: Why is Samson in the Hebrews Hall of Faith? Was Samson saved?

Q&A question about Samson's presence in Hebrews 11.

Hebrews 11:32 Samson salvation saving faith
Mike Winger idea 2020-12-11

Theological purpose of the book of Judges

Mike Winger idea 2021-01-08

Judges is a book designed to show total human depravity — God is the only hero; even the deliverers fail
