if you ae walking around here you are not saved
you could die tonight
being "saved" (the false theology saved) is like "whistling in the dark"
you dont know if you will be in a car accident or not
bible word SAVEd means
kept from death today
anyone saying they will never die now
is speculating
the only time you know you will never die is when you go up on the cloud
then you can say I will never die.
funny how religions twist meanings and invent false doctrines around them
no where in the Bible from generation to revelation do christs disciples walk around saying I MA SAVED I AM SAVED
that is false theology
peter said it then he fell
you dont know
if you will die today.

Pharisees told Jesus
What you talkin about?
We are SAVED we are abrahams seed!
and Jesus said
oh
no
you are not
and then they killed him
But Jesus was right
they were NOT saved
they had bad hearts even though they claimed salvation they were lost.
claiming dont do it
it is living the life
walking the walk
and being faithful
IF you are fiathful you WILL be saved
that is correct.
and we all can be faithful cant we?
by grace through faith (believing the bible enough to do it.

when my friend showed a once saved religion man the bible he got mad enough to grab his tie and choke him
obviously that man is not saved from tempoer\
we need to be saved from SINS
and if your still loosing temper you ant saved from sin yet.
actions brother.
not words.
FRUITS are ACTIONS
a saved person is like Jesus and does not sin
I aint there yet but I have the hope and I am secure in Jesus blood
if I die tonight I will have Jesus reward cause I am walking the walk by his grace.
but if you stop waling and keep on sinning
the blood of Jesus no longer covers you
that is called a backslider. and they are not going to go unless the repent and change again by grace.
that is the bible you will see if you read it through.
THIS IS THE WAY WALK YE IN IT not sit at the bar and watch videos.
read old testament

Well you say you cannot know if you are saved so why are you attempting to teach on a subject that by your own admission you do not comprehend? Is that not as the Lord Jesus said the blind leading the blind with both destined to fall into the ditch?
Scripture is written that you may know that you eternal life.
I am reminded of what the Lord Jesus said about the Pharisees in Mat 23:13 you won't enter and you won't tolerate anyone else entering either.

Ok, thanks. I guess I'm saved then 
If you were in a car accident you would remember it. If God saved you and you died to self you would remember. Many people have asked Jesus into their heart and arent saved, I was one of them.
When you become born again there is a radical change the things you onced love you now hate and the things you wanted nothing to do with you now persue. Please take scriptures advice and make your calling and election sure.
I can only speak for myself. My entire life changed. I could do things (make a speech longer than 5 seconds, I no longer stuttered, I could talk to others, etc), and no longer do things (hang with many of my old friends, lie to my parents, I could discern right and wrong, etc.). All this didn't happen over night, and I still grow more every day. I had a wonderful Sunday School teacher who told me to read and study the Book of James. Please read and study it.
There are many posts on this site that will confuse you more than help you. Filter them through the Bible.
I hope that this helps. May God bless you in your new walk.

Well.............someone has to rain on this parade...........(do like the pink hair though )
People are not "saved" from birth........indicated by your statement "my whole life." Salvation is no hereditary. One isn't saved because ones Grandmother, or Mother was saved........went to church every Sunday.
Salvation is a personal event that occurs between a person and God. So if you have not had that "aha" moment, there is a good chance you may not be saved. A few questions to consider..........
Have you ever fell under conviction of the Holy Spirit for your earthly/sinful life?
Have you ever knelt down --- with a sincere and contrite heart and confessed your sins to God?
Have you ever (while kneeling there praying) asked Jesus Christ to come into your life as your Lord and Saviour?
Have you ever (while kneeling there praying) surrendered your whole life to His Will?
One MUST be old enough to understand right from wrong..........before one can understand that they are living a sinful life. A life apart from God. And then one can understand the need for God --- through His Grace --- to save their souls.
just FYI...........

I do not think guessing is involved in knowing if you are saved. This simple passage from the Bible tells it all.
"Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” [SUP]31 [/SUP]And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” " Acts 16:30-31
If you believe in Jesus Christ, and follow him, you will be saved. Please examine your heart to make sure you are truly believing and following, and then you will know. That is 24/7. No time off to go and sin and explore the pleasures of sin for a season.
Praying for you to know for certain that God is real, and that he has saved you to eternal life.

The subtle difference is, its not what you do, you beg God to save you and he will if your sincere. The Holy Spirit will testify of your salvation and you will have assurance of it. True belief effects your thoughts and your actions. Its more than just acknowledging Jesus is God and believing he died for you. Thats an intellectual agreement. When Christ is Lord hes in the drivers seat not the copilot.

If you are unsure tell God. Tell God you are unsure and that you believe in Jesus Christ with all your heart and ask God to give you certainty about your salvation. Many who are saved at a young age need to go back when they are older and confirm their belief before the Lord. The Lord give peace and assurance if you ask it of Him.
God understands doubt and wants to give you certainty.
