John the Baptist never attended organized religious services, he preached what the Holy Spirit showed him. He had no building nor plates to take a collection, he wasn't paid, he did tithe with what he had and that was time and loyalty. He worked in the community as hard as anyone ever has and Jesus commended him on his service. In the end he gave his life for what he knew to be true.

No, he gave his life for a belief that had no basis in reality. That happens.
You know this how, from studying the Bible and history or from your like minded friends who know as little about Christ as you do.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
