Very true! I never thought about it like that. Technically though, if a Christian prays for someone not to die, whether they die or live, according to their faith, it's the Will of God.
Often times when you find a xian who's prayer is "answered" when a loved one survives, they call it a "miracle" because they are under the idea that they intervened the Will of God (and ironically this idea goes against their beliefs). This is usually due to a lack in understanding of their personal faith and unfortunately this has the effect that you mentioned: "they just cannot be wrong [in] whatever they do". Which is quite delusional.
It's not just delusional, it's blasphemy. These Christians have a duty to understand how their God set up their religion, and willful ignorance leading to mistating key tenets of the faith is outrageous.
And that;s why so many of them are going to burn in the fiery lake. Apostates, heretics and blasphemers have (or should have) absolutely no expectation of a reward in heaven.
