I&i heard rumors of Bob being baptized before his passing, but have never really paid much attention. For many RastafarI (as we've seen), Christianity and RastafarI harmonize well together and are not mutually exclusive. Never heard of him renouncing JAH RastafarI, but even so it doesn't really matter because Babylon can propagate and/or contort anything through its global media to smear a man and his true message, and Bob definitely was a thorn in the side of the Babylon System.
What matters is Bob's musical gift to Imanity embodying the Teachings of His Majesty, One Love, One People, Inity, Oneness of Imanity, Righteousness (and the antitheticalness to it of prejudice), and ways to conduct one's self in Righteousness while moving in the trod through Babylon. His musical legacy honoring Haile Selassie I, JAH RastafarI Idureth with immeasurable value for present and future generations.
Like most words, the word "prophet" has varying definitions based upon common usage; but it's pretty safe to assert that, in all cases, the I-dentity of a spiritual teacher or wise man as a prophet is in the eye of the beholder for whom he does or does not function as such.
