If my Soulfire Grand Master gets removed before my Lightning Bolt resolves, will I still gain life when it finally does? In other words, do my spells gain Lifelink when they get cast with SFGM on the battlefield, and retain this ability no matter what happens after? Or do they lose Lifelink even if they had the ability as they were first put on the stack?
No you won't gain the life. Instant and sorcery spells will only have lifelink while Soulfire GM is on the battlefield. Once it leaves the battlefield it the lightning bolt will no longer have lifelink, so when it deals its damage it won't have lifelink and therefore no life gain. The fact that it had it before doesn't matter, it would be like an attacking creature losing lifelink before it deals damage, same result.
