Bob Marley was baptised on the 4th November 1980 shortly after his diagnosis of cancer. Before that he was a member of the Twelve Tribes of Isreal, a Rastafaian "denomination" which regards Jesus Christ as an important part of their beliefs. The nurse who claimed to have converted Bob was late as he already been baptised. The most important thing here is that Bob, Judy, and the rest of us recognise that that there is a supreme being worthy to be praised and that our lives represent that belief. Judy, you are and will always be my Jamaican Queen, after my daughter of course!! Jah live!

I'm glad Sister Judy has accepted Jesus Christ. I thought one of Marley's biography's stated that he became an Orthodox Christian before he died.
Haile Selassie was a devout Ethiopian Orthodox Christian and never claimed to be God.Daily he prayed from 4am-6am every day followed by Ethiopian Orthodox Divine Liturgy (mass) -which is at least 2 hours.
That said,Rastafarianism had a place and serves a very important purpose for black people,just like Sister Judy said.
But I promise you, if you ask God for a dream about who to follow to reach him,he will undoubtedly show you Jesus Christ.

WHETHER BROTHER BOB CALLED ON JESUS CHRIST OR SELASSIE. HE IS ONE AND THE SAME. IT DOES NOT MAKE HIM ANY LESS CHRISTIAN THAN SOME OF YOU SO CALLED CHRISTIANS. CHRISTIANITY IS A WAY OF LIFE AND NOT A RELIGION. AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE IS NO ROOM FOR JUDGEMENTS. THE ONLY TRUE JUDGE IS THE EVER LIVING ALMIGHTY JAH RASTAFARI.

it doesnt matter if he meant Jesus as in Selassie or Jesus that the Christians believe in. because now that he has perished, he has discovered the TRUTH. JESUS IS JESUS. point is he believed in a higher power.. as human beings, thats all we can really do. JAH BLESS

I am a christian. I love every peace loving man and woman be you a muslim, a budhist or a rastafarian. Love your fellow human being as yourself. Once you do that paradise is yours. Again, I think that bob's music and message would surely lead him to heaven. He loved humanity so he loved God (in whatever name you choose to call HIM)

Hi Sisterin Gods richest blessing to you, We can see by the signs of the time gods message is real and will definitely reach the heart of those predestined to eternal life. I always share the word with those led on my heart, for thats what Jesus wants us to do. Gods richest blessing I was aware previously that Bob Marley accepted the Lord jesus Christ.
