We seem to be in agreement. Each of the cases you cited the people were martyred, or could have became martyrs in the ordinary course of living. If God told you to go to Mecca and proclaim the gospel, I am sure he would take care of you. If I (the key is "I") decide to go to Mecca and get beheaded, I am not sure I'd get that martyrs crown. By the way, you bible scholars out there, is there such a thing?
